GM Revives CarPlay for 2027 Trucks

Natalie Neff, Autoweek:

General Motors is reversing course after having begun to remove Apple CarPlay from its vehicles, showing off instead a redesigned infotainment interface for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups that melds the smartphone apps with the truck’s native vehicle controls on the same screen.

The new system, which will roll out later this year, marks a significant walk-back after the automaker faced widespread criticism for removing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from its Ultium-based electric vehicles beginning with the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV.

One of the dumbest own goals in recent memory. Tesla gets away with not supporting CarPlay because they created their own system that’s so good that many Tesla owners prefer it, or, at least find it good enough as an alternative. GM tried to replace CarPlay with a system that no one liked.
