GM eliminated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from its EVs — this upgrade adds them back


The aftermarket restores.

As noticed by InsideEVs, a company called White Automotive and Media Services (WAMS) is advertising a new aftermarket upgrade kit that restores the popular phone-mirroring features back into Chevy and GMC EVs. WAMS says that due to the “complexity” of the installation process, as well as its desire to provide the “best possible customer experience,” the aftermarket kit is only available through one dealership, LaFontaine Chevrolet in Plymouth, Michigan. GM first announced that it was ditching CarPlay and Android Auto in its EVs in 2023, defending the decision as a desire to offer a more immersive and integrated experience for customers that doesn’t skimp on features.
