Apple CarPlay is only available in 2016 Chevy's?

BigDog88 · February 25, 2016

Is anyone like me that was first in line to buy a new 2015 Chevrolet Suburban pissed now that they decided to wait to release Apple CarPlay in the 2016 vehicles and not available to 2015?

I had my wife take in our 2015 Suburban for an oil change and tire rotation today and asked them to update our Suburban with the new Apple CarPlay software. She was told they cant do it!!!!??????

How is this possible?! The screen in our dash cant be any different than the ones in the 2016 vehicles. This is a big kick in the sack to those of us that bought the new body style and now don't get the same technology that SHOULD be updatable!!!!

The service tech had the audacity to have a sales person come talk to my wife in the waiting room about buying a new 2016 to get the Apple CarPlay.....are these people crazy?

Anyone else think this is shady and ticked off? Im not trying to cause a uprising...but this is so silly.

Please help Chevy, there has to be a way to do this.

Yes I agree! If we can't get this done, what about doing this?

I have been toying around with the idea of taking out the display and putting in an iPad. Have any of you tried this?

Because it is not a simple software update. All of the hardware is different as well as the software. Its always good to not buy the first year sometimes...stuff changes real quick nowadays.

Happens all the time, 2016 Silverado's get HID's on the work trucks on up. Its just how it goes.

Will a 16 radio plug into a 15?

It can be done (and for much cheaper than those GM-navigation links above). See my post here

Hopefully someone still sees this... I just bought a 2015 Tahoe that doesn't have Carplay. I don't really want to just go straight aftermarket (I think they have some where everything still operates these days). But, what do I need to be able to efficiently get Carplay added?

Thanks!!
