Well with this technology nowadays, I just find it hard to believe GMC would do this. I don't text that often so I don't have a need to plug my cord into the usb port, for car play, that just me. Now you received a text on your phone instead on the screen.. Such a great truck but this would of made it a better truck. Ya I know its not that big of a deal, I will get use to it. I am glad I found an answer to my question. Thanks guys
