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.

This is a worst-case scenario for GM, and they brought it on themselves. https://insideevs.com/reviews/701169/2024-blazer-ev-stranded-broken/

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.

’ infotainment systems are just plain buggy and I anticipate them remaining so regardless of smartphone compatibility.

GM is phasing out drivers’ infotainment options for safety reasons.

GM is taking a big risk by restricting drivers to Utilifi, its new infotainment software.
