GM is offering a new infotainment system that phases out Apple's popular CarPlay software, leaving some dealers perplexed.

A big gamble by General Motors (GM) is causing consternation for its dealers in the all-important race to sell cars — namely electric vehicles.

    This problem with proprietary screens can be resolved/mitigated with a cheap Android Auto/CarPlay dash-mounted remote display. They are basically a touchscreen tablet on an arm, with Bluetooth, an Aux Output and a cigarette lighter plug. There are cheap ones ($300) and incredibly cheap ones ($50).

    I would recommend GM dealers (who don’t want to sell their franchise back to GM because this is a fucking stupid move) to invest in pallets of these things and give them away for free to new car owners who aren’t satisfied with the factory In-Car Entertainment.
