GM Rolls Out Native Apple Music to 2025+ Cadillac and Chevy

The move underscores GM's shift from phone mirroring to embedded apps.

Overview

  • Apple Music is arriving via over-the-air updates on select 2025 and newer Cadillac and Chevrolet vehicles with integration into the built-in infotainment system.
  • GM ties streaming access to OnStar Basics for eight years at no additional connectivity cost, with coverage described by some outlets as starting with 2025 models and by others as beginning with 2026 vehicles.
  • Eligible models include the 2025–2026 Cadillac CT5, 2025 Escalade IQ, 2026 Vistiq, 2025–2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV, Blazer EV and Silverado EV, plus the 2026 Corvette, Suburban and Tahoe.
  • Supported Cadillac models add Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, leveraging premium hardware such as the Vistiq’s standard 23-speaker AKG system.
  • Drivers can begin streaming immediately upon entering the car and control playback hands-free through the vehicle’s voice assistant, with Buick and GMC slated to add Apple Music later.
