The wait is over for General Motors (GM) electric vehicle (EV) owners who missed the convenience of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™. White Automotive & Media Services (WAMS) has introduced a groundbreaking CarPlay and Android Auto Upgrade Kit designed for GM’s Ultium line of EVs, offering a fully immersive and factory-like integration experience.
What the Upgrade Offers –
This innovative kit restores wired and wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality while preserving all factory-installed features. WAMS promises an elevated experience with features that go beyond expectations:
- Full-Screen Support: Enjoy CarPlay and Android Auto in their full-screen glory on the infotainment system.
- Advanced Media Integration: Seamless “now playing” details and source lists displayed on the instrument cluster.
- Turn-By-Turn HUD Navigation: For equipped vehicles, Apple Maps can project guidance directly onto the heads-up display (HUD).
- Factory EV Navigation Coexistence: Use GM’s EV charging route guidance simultaneously with CarPlay or Android Auto for music or other apps.
WAMS touts this upgrade as a comprehensive solution, ensuring users don’t have to compromise on existing vehicle capabilities.
Supported GM Models –
The WAMS kit currently supports the following GM Ultium-based EVs:
- Chevrolet Blazer EV (All trims)
- Chevrolet Equinox EV (All trims)
- GMC Sierra EV (All trims)
- Chevrolet Silverado EV (LT and RST trims only)
Where to Get the Upgrade –
To maintain quality and reliability, WAMS has partnered exclusively with LaFontaine Automotive Performance, a division of LaFontaine Automotive Group. Initially available at LaFontaine Chevrolet in Plymouth, Michigan, the service will expand to more locations soon.
This partnership ensures that GM EV owners receive meticulous installation and post-upgrade support from certified professionals.
Why It Matters –
GM’s decision to replace CarPlay and Android Auto with the Android Automotive operating system in its Ultium EVs sparked debate among drivers. While GM touted its deeper system integration, many users missed the familiar functionality of phone projection systems. The WAMS kit offers a solution that bridges this gap, delivering the best of both worlds: the integration of Android Automotive with the convenience of CarPlay and Android Auto.
