GM sets its sights on a CarPlay-less Future for its EVs, starting with the 2026 GMC Hummer EV. 🚫📱
While rumors swirl, there's no firm confirmation that the Hummer EV will drop wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support in its 2026 models. 🤷♂️📱
A GMC spokesperson shared with us that the upcoming Hummer EV Pickup and SUV will likely not have wireless phone projection capabilities, but existing models won't lose them via an over-the-air update. 📝🚗
The story began when GM announced in 2023 that new EVs, including the Hummer, would bid farewell to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto starting in 2024. 🗣️🚫📱
Unsurprisingly, the news didn't sit well with consumers, who voiced their displeasure. 🔥💔
GM has been adamant that this decision is about optimizing the user experience by reducing the need to switch between interfaces. 🎯📲
Tesla and Rivian have taken a similar approach, locking away most controls within the onscreen interface, and natively integrating Apple Music, among other apps. 🏎️🌐
In place of these smartphone integrations, GM aims to roll out new driver-assist features tightly coupled with navigation. These features are yet to materialize. 🛠️🛰️
The 2026 GMC Hummer will ditch CarPlay and Android Auto, but it'll gain King Crab mode, an over-the-air software update feat. 🦀🚗
The new Carbon Fiber Edition Pickup promises to be quicker than ever, with a revised software kit slashing the 0-60 mph time to just 2.8 seconds! 🚀🏎️
