Chevrolet is bringing apps and 4G internet straight to your dashboard.
At its CES press conference in Las Vegas, the automaker announced that a slew of upcoming 2015 vehicles will feature the Chevrolet AppShop, giving drivers free access to additional music, podcast and travel apps, all tailored for in-car use. Chevy also debuted dedicated, in-vehicle 4G LTE connections for downloading apps and vehicle diagnostics.
At launch, the AppShop will feature streaming audio from iHeartRadio, NPR, Slacker, TuneIn, and Kaliki. A Priceline.com app lets drivers book hotel rooms, a Weather Channel app gives visual and audio weather updates, and Cityseeker and Eventseeker act as a 'car concierge' for places to go and things to see. Glympse lets drivers automatically share their location with others, including estimated arrival time.
That list will likely grow as developers work with GM to certify new apps for in-car use.
'New applications will be made over time as we work over time with other partners,' said Mary Chan, president of GM's Global Connected Consumer business unit. The new offerings are thanks to the app framework that GM announced at last year's New York Auto Show. Since then, developers have been working to build car-specific apps for GM vehicles that are designed for safe use while on the road.
Currently, all apps are free, but Chan said that as the selection of apps grows, customers may find premium, paid apps alongside existing, free ones.
Chevy owners will have multiple ways to download an app. If their cars are also equipped with 4G LTE, they can activate a data plan and have an always-on connection that also doubles as a mobile hotspot. AT&T customers can add a car as an additional device on a MobileShare plan thanks to a partnership between GM and the mobile provider. Or, customers could choose their own data plan.
'We're not announcing the specific pricing plan, but the options are there for customers to purchase a data plan either separately, or directly with AT&T or OnStar,' Chan said. Customers who don't want to pay for a special plan for the car still pair a smartphone and piggyback onto its data plan.
According to Chevrolet, the AppShop will be standard on select 2015 vehicles equipped with the MyLink infotainment system, including Corvette, Equinox, Impala, Malibu, Volt, Silverado and Silverado HD. OnStar 4GLTE will be available first on the 2015 Corvette, Impala, Malibu, and Volt, and later on the Equinox, Silverado, Silverado HD, Spark and Spark EV.
Unfortunately, Chan told us that existing vehicles cannot be upgraded to the AppShop, so you're out of luck if you bought a 2014 Impala.
But Chan also let us know that other GM brands like Buick, Cadillac, and GMC would likely get similar connectivity services in the near future, and we wouldn't be surprised if they were announced at the upcoming Detroit Auto show. 'We've made a commitment across the entire GM set of brands,' she said.

Chevrolet becomes the first automaker to announce Apple CarPlay and Android Auto simultaneously. It will be on 14 Chevrolet models in the 2016 model year that starts late this summer. Unlike Hyundai, which Monday announced immediate availability on the Hyundai Sonata, this covers most of Chevy’s lineup. Also unlike Hyundai, CarPlay and Android Auto won’t be backwards compatible to cars already built this year (via a firmware update).
Apple CarPlay compatibility begins with initial deliveries of 2016 models with Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system — essentially all but the entry trim line cars. For Android Auto, initial compatibility is for MyLink vehicles with 7-inch displays; compatibility with 8-inch MyLink displays is expected later in the in the year.
Mostly one app per category, lots of music apps
To keep things simple early in the life of CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers won’t be flooded with too many choices in apps. The most important app, maps / navigation, is limited to one per platform: Apple Maps for CarPlay, Google Maps for Android Auto. With CarPlay, you also get Phone, Messages, Music (Apple’s) and compatible third-party apps — “compatible” meaning with CarPlay, not meaning the thousands of other apps approved for iPhone. Similarly with Android Auto, you get the Google Now, the company’s intelligent personal assistant, and Google Play Music.
There will be multiple music and audio apps offered from day one, a smart choice given how users may have bonded with one service, or maybe bonded with and are also paying a monthly free. The Apple site shows Beats Music (Apple-owned), iHeartRadio, Spotify, Stitcher, CBS Radio, RDO, Overcast, MLB At Bat, Umano, Audibooks.com, and Podcasts. The Android Auto site shows iHeart Radio, Joyride podcast player, NPR One, Pocket Casts, Spotify, TuneIn, and Umano.
How it works
To make Apple’s CarPlay or Google’s Android Auto work, you’ll need a recent, compatible phone with recent software. The MyLink infotainment system has to support CarPlay or Android Auto as noted above. You plug the phone in via a USB cable. Once the CarPlay or Android Auto app loads, it takes over the center stack screen. The phone is locked out, including lockout of apps that aren’t supported by CarPlay. If you want to run those apps, you have to untether the phone. You control the CarPlay apps several ways: dashboard and steering wheel buttons (Play, Pause, Next Track), the touchscreen, and voice control. Typically, you tap the steering voice icon to use the car’s voice recognizer; you press and hold for a second or two to bring up the Siri or Google voice recognizer for the CarPlay or Android Auto apps.
You cans switch back and forth between CarPlay or Android Auto and the apps native to the car. Chevrolet created a hierarchy of priorities for screen access. For instance, even if CarPlay is running, if you flip into reverse, the backup camera view displays.
With Android Auto, the Google Now app tries to predict what you’re doing based on your appointments, for instance offering to navigate the location of your next appointment.
Both apps work in and out of the car, or if you switch between two CarPlay or Android Auto cars. You can create a destination on your phone, it transfers to the cars once your phone is plugged in, and if you park two blocks away, it navigates you the last quarter mile.
Supported Chevrolet models
Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work on cars with the 7-inch screens and MyLink, as mentioned above. For models and trim lines with 8-inch displays, CarPlay works immediately; Android Auto may come later. Chevy describes it this way: “While development and testing is not yet complete, Android Auto compatibility may be available on the eight-inch version of MyLink later in the 2016 model year.” Chevrolet lists these as compatible 2016 model cars:

Chevrolet has a wider range of cars that will run Android Auto than Hyundai, which has only the Sonata. Sonata’s compatibility with CarPlay is later this year. But there’s a bonus for people who bought they current (2015) Sonata, about 50,000 so far: Android Auto is backwards compatible with these cars.
