If you’ve been looking for a car that has Car Play from Apple or Android Auto from Google, the company that will have to go onto your shopping list is going to be GM. That’s because they made an announcement today that both platforms will be available on 14 2016 Chevrolet models in Canada as well as Mexico and Brazil among other markets.
The size of the touchscreen inside a GM vehicle govern’s what you get. Chevrolet’s seven-inch MyLink system gives owners a smart and simple way to access both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The eight-inch version of MyLink will be compatible only with Apple CarPlay at the beginning of the 2016 model year. While development and testing is not yet complete, Android Auto compatibility may be available on the eight-inch version of MyLink later in the 2016 model year. So stay tuned on that front.
Expect other automakers to accelerate their plans to get Car Play and Android Auto into their cars to keep GM from stealing the spotlight.
