It’s sucks no CarPlay yes. But I prefer google maps. And if they let me install Spotify I have no problem with the car having no CarPlay. For 35k and a 7500 tax credit I think this is a potential car I would look into buying. Message me if you guys are doing sponsorships for the car! I would love to do one!❤️ excited for the LT model to come out!
Love how you have to pay an additional monthly fee to get any of this to work! Way to make something we've all been using for free a paid service! I'm so glad the new revenue stream is going to the Chevy employees and not the C-suite and shareholders!
You haven't been using anything for free. You are literally selling your data to these companies. Google isn't free. However, gm is including eight years of basic connectivity to run this service in the car.
Where can I get information on the data-collection policy? What data is collected, how is it used and how long is it stored? Can it be paused or turned off?
I pay for Internet at our home. I pay for Internet on our phones. GM is sorely sorely mistaken if they think I'm going to pay for Internet in my car. You guys have done screwed up. Which is too bad because I really like the Equinox EV. We love our Volt also. I understand GM is including 8 years of basic connectivity but that means that cost is built into the cost of the vehicle. Which I would be paying for....I do wonder how much Google is paying GM for this? Maybe the cost isnt baked into the vehicle cost?
Great question, Isaac. Depending on how your vehicle is equipped, audio features (listening to AM/FM radio or streaming from your paired device), Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, voice control using your connected phone’s compatible voice assistant, customizing your settings and certain features of the in-vehicle trailering app would be available without a subscription.
I own a traverse and equinox with car play. I was interested in equinox EV until I learned there is no CarPlay. If GM continues down this path, I will be moving to Ford or other vehicles.
Your anger is misplaced, you need to talk to Apple about this. GM rightfully did not want Apple to collect and store user data for its customers and Apple flatly refused. Moreover, Apple would not even give GM access to the user data it was collecting and storing. I’m an Apple user as well, but that crosses a line and I applaud GM for kicking them out.
You guys absolutely suck for taking away Carplay. You could've at least given us an option between the two like Apple did with the real Android Auto. My sales guy DID NOT tell me it didn't have Carplay until AFTER I SIGNED. I'm VERY PISSED about it and lowkey regret my decisions.
The new infotainment experience will be an evolution of the Google built-in system recently launched on select GM vehicles but without Apple CarPlay or Android Auto capability. Future vehicles will also benefit from GM’s Ultifi software platform, allowing for more features and updates to be added over time, along with other improvements to the user experience. If you have concerns about your current vehicle, please reach out to your selling dealership directly. They will be in the best position to assist you with this.

so you prefer to pay for in instead of having carplay/android auto for free?

Not true. The Equinox EV (& Blazer EV) receive 8 years connectivity free of charge for 8 years.
How much internal drive space does the infotainment system have? 32gb? 64? 128? Etc.. thanks.
Big selling point for us Google users! 🤘🏻

Do you have to pay to use streaming services?

@@Chevrolet Neither Android Auto nor Apple CarPlay work with the proprietary OS in the Equinox EV.

What's the cost after 8 years? I already have services at home and my mobile phone. Now an additional cast is looming if I buy this vehicle?

Use your phone as a hotspot
No car play so a big no
no carplay no buy.
Keep that garbage out of there!
