Apple CarPlay / Android Auto interfaces with your phone, it's not a thing that is standalone. GM got rid of it when they realized they can make more peanut butter money by enforcing nav subscriptions and integrated car systems into the head unit so you can't go aftermarket.

I’ll buy a $15 suction mount for my smartphone long before I’ll willingly pay for a car nav subscription.
Enshittification on wheels!
Be careful, they’re gonna take a page out of Dodge’s book before you know it
And do what? UConnect beats the shit out of GM and they still support CarPlay.
They really go the extra mile to ensure their customers’ unhappiness.
GM is fucking stupid for not supporting the major platforms that people choose to use. The phone is probably the most important piece of tech in most people's lives.
Every Chevy I've ever owned has been complete and utter fucking garbage.
Poor real estate investment.
LOL, what a great reply to my typo. Fixed!
Damn, now I'm curious what the typo was...
Garage instead of garbage lol
At least Ford doesn't do this yet.
