Google redesigned Android Auto Google Maps alerts to appear directly over estimated time without moving UI elements. The new pop-up shows a 'Yes' or 'No' option for a few seconds before disappearing.

The EV Play LT adapter adds Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to most GM EVs from 2024 to 2026. It costs $199 and installs in two minutes via a USB connection.

GM does not support these features natively and may disable the adapter in the future. EVPlay confirms no subscription is needed and functionality is not guaranteed long-term.
