You guessed it: With fellow General Motors brand Chevrolet bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone-mirroring capability to 14 models for 2016, Buick couldn’t be far behind. And it isn’t. The entry-luxury automaker announced it is including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with every 2016 LaCrosse and Regal model.
This, of course, is the benefit to General Motors’ largely interchangeable infotainment platform, which underpins MyLink in Chevys, CUE in Cadillacs, and IntelliLink in GMCs and Buicks. Once features like CarPlay and Android Auto make it into one model, it’s not difficult to spread it to others. (Just look at GM’s widespread rollout of onboard 4G LTE data connections via OnStar, complete with built-in Wi-Fi hotspots.) Since every 2016 Buick Regal and LaCrosse comes standard with an IntelliLink touch screen, Apple and Android phone-mirroring is standard on every version. It’s built in. That said, Android users will have to wait until the system is updated later in the 2016 model year to enjoy Android Auto; CarPlay, however, will be included from the get-go.
