Chevrolet Infotainment System Guide: Using Touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto
What Is the Chevrolet Infotainment System?
The interface is designed to be intuitive, with clearly organized menu options for audio, navigation, phone, and vehicle settings. Physical knobs and controls are positioned around the screen to handle frequently used functions without requiring Touchscreen interaction, which helps reduce distraction while driving.
All Chevrolet models equipped with the Infotainment 3 system include Bluetooth wireless connectivity, allowing you to pair your phone for hands-free calling and audio streaming. The system also supports Smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which allows your phone's apps to appear directly on the vehicle's screen.
How to Connect Apple CarPlay in Your Chevrolet
Once connected, CarPlay displays your iPhone's apps in a simplified interface on the Touchscreen. Through CarPlay, you can access Apple Maps, Music, Messages, Phone, and Podcasts. Compatible third-party apps are also supported, including Spotify, Waze, and Google Maps. Voice commands through Siri allow you to send messages, make calls, and get directions without touching the scree
Wireless CarPlay is available on select Chevrolet models and trims. If you are unsure whether your model supports wireless CarPlay, our model research pages include trim-level details, or you can contact our team at Herb Easley Chevrolet to confirm availability for any vehicle on our lot in Wichita Falls, Texas.
How to Connect Android Auto in Your Chevrolet
Android Auto displays a streamlined version of your phone's interface on the Chevrolet Touchscreen. You get access to Spotify, YouTube Music, Google Maps, messaging apps, and phone functions. Google Assistant lets you use voice commands to navigate, respond to messages, and control media playback.
One key tip for a smooth experience: make sure your phone's software is current and that the Android Auto app is installed before attempting to connect. Keeping both the app and your phone's operating system up to date helps prevent compatibility issues.
Getting the Most from Your Chevrolet Infotainment System
Bluetooth audio streaming lets you play music directly from your phone without using CarPlay or Android Auto. This is useful when you want to keep your phone's full interface available. Multiple phone profiles can be saved in the system, making it easy for different drivers to connect quickly.
The Chevrolet infotainment system also integrates with OnStar connected services, so your vehicle's built-in technology works alongside safety and remote features to create a comprehensive in-vehicle experience.
