General Motors Co. has cut a deal with Apple Inc. to bring the Apple Music app into Chevrolet and Cadillac models starting Monday, when the automaker will send it to vehicle owners with an over-the-air update.
Bringing in Apple Music delivers one of the tech company’s most popular apps that GM customers can’t get in its newer vehicles since the automaker started to phase out Apple’s CarPlay phone projection system in 2023. The decision was controversial on social media, and some consumers said they wouldn’t buy a GM vehicle without CarPlay. Third parties even tried to come up with ways to connect CarPlay to GM’s latest vehicles with phone adapters.
Owners of older models still have CarPlay.
