Last week, a GM rep claimed that they removed CarPlay and Android Auto integration because they're just so unreliable that people have to just look at their phones while driving. This is absurd nonsense, but this reviewer's experience with GM's first no-CarPlay vehicle shows that it is actually GM that has this problem, not CarPlay or Android Auto.
@jameshubbard@waldoj Can confirm that the #CarPlay in my wife’s past two GMC SUVs has been just as janky, sometimes requiring the same power-cycling of #iPhone and/or car. Or sometimes the car’s info screen would be inexplicably blank with nothing connected yet. Other times the rear-view camera display wouldn’t activate.
#GeneralMotors’ infotainment systems are just plain buggy and I anticipate them remaining so regardless of smartphone compatibility.
