Yeah that's right. I think that is the best thing about the update, and I don't even have CarPlay in my Volt (do have it in the Suburban though).I read that at the recent Apple Developers Conference, they announced that Google Maps and Waze will be added to Apple Car Play this fall when iOS 12 comes out.
Huh, my suburban has a cassette player and CD player, no CarPlay or even an AUX plug. I guess it's way past time to upgrade my 1995 3/4 ton Suburban, but it's hard to walk away from this super-reliable 454 cu in beast.
Mine didn't have it either, but added a Kenwood headunit with it. Wife wouldn't drive it without a backup camera so I took the opportunity to upgrade. Mine is a 2006 2500, 8.1L (496 CI). Guess we all have the family/trailer hauler gas guzzlers, and the Volts to average out to two average ICE vehicles that "normal" people would have haha.Same with my '96 Suburban, with the 5.7. It's a little embarrassing that even the lawn/gardener guys have newer trucks than mine. But it was paid for 20+ years ago, and doesn't cost much to keep around. BTW it is fairly easy for anyone with some soldering skills to add an AUX jack.
Waze is a fun app even for us non-commuters. It is nice to get those reports of stalled vehicles and police ahead. A family member can let you know their progress as they drive cross country. Plus I finally earned enough points to make "Royalty Wazer" level. So I make sure I use it for any longer drive to maintain the status - even in the Volt where I use the in-dash NAV. It will be great to have it available via Carplay.
