David Welch<\/span> General Motors Co. has cut a deal with Apple Inc. to bring the Apple Music app into Chevrolet and Cadillac models starting Monday, when the automaker will send it to vehicle owners with an over-the-air update.<\/p>\n Bringing in Apple Music delivers one of the tech company\u2019s most popular apps that GM customers can\u2019t get in its newer vehicles since the automaker started to phase out Apple\u2019s CarPlay phone projection system in 2023. The decision was controversial on social media, and some consumers said they wouldn\u2019t buy a GM vehicle without CarPlay. Third parties even tried to come up with ways to connect CarPlay to GM\u2019s latest vehicles with phone adapters.<\/p>\n Owners of older models still have CarPlay.<\/p>\n \u201cI recognize that\u2019s a hot button topic,\u201d said Sterling Anderson, GM\u2019s chief product officer, in an interview. \u201cI liked it for a very long time in vehicles that had inferior access to the applications and services that I cared about. That\u2019s no longer true in the vehicles that we\u2019ve removed it from.\u201d<\/p>\n GM will start adding the app in the Cadillac Vistiq and Escalade IQ electric vehicles and CT5 sedan. Chevrolet will start with the Equinox, Blazer and Silverado electric vehicles and the Corvette, Tahoe and Suburban gasoline-powered vehicles. Buick and GMC will eventually get access to Apple Music, GM said.<\/p>\n Customers will be able to stream music through GM\u2019s OnStar Basics telematics system for all 2025 model year and newer vehicles in the United States and Canada at no added cost for eight years from the date they buy the vehicle.<\/p>\n Some Cadillac models will be able to use Apple\u2019s Spatial Audio, which feeds music through multiple speakers with the intent of creating a concert hall sound experience. Apple Music\u2019s Spatial Audio is supported by Dolby Atmos. To access the system, Apple Music has to be natively integrated into the vehicle\u2019s entertainment and sound system.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t get this with CarPlay in any way,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n Apple and Mercedes-Benz announced a similar agreement in 2022. Tesla Inc. and Rivian Automotive Inc. also offer Apple Music without CarPlay in their vehicles.<\/p>\n GM began to move away from CarPlay, opting for its own system that integrates some vehicle controls in the automaker\u2019s own software system. The company has said that it will enable more seamless control of vehicles features without forcing drivers to toggle between the vehicle\u2019s menu and a CarPlay or Android Auto menu.<\/p>\n As GM moves to its more advanced vehicle software architecture, the company will be able to add features that control more than just entertainment and update them over the air.<\/p>\n One of the features will be adding capability to GM\u2019s Super Cruise driver assist system, which enables hand-free driving on the highway. In 2028, the Cadillac Escalade IQ will have hands-free driving that allows a driver to take their eyes off the road in a move that gets closer to full self-driving technology.<\/p>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.detroitnews.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" David Welch \u00a0|\u00a0 Bloomberg General Motors Co. has cut a deal with Apple Inc. to bring the Apple Music app into Chevrolet and Cadillac models starting Monday, when the automaker will send it to vehicle owners with an over-the-air update.
