It\u2019s a clever workaround, and one that appears to work well in demos shared by the company.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chevy Equinox EV Apple CarPlay Demonstration\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a1VXmPoA9E4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EV Play LT is confirmed to work in GM vehicles including 2024, 2025, and 2026 model years of the Chevy Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado (EVs), the GMC Sierra and Hummer, and the Cadillac IQ\/IQL, Optiq, and Vistiq. Theorhetically, it should work on newer vehicles too \u2013 perhaps even the 27\u2032 Bolt \u2013 but that\u2019s at your own risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also a more expensive verison of this concept that adds more than just your phone projection, including HDMI support for game consoles and more. There\u2019s a version for Rivian, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The catch, though, is that GM can shut this down. EV Play acknowledges that, yes, GM could shut it down, but \u201cit would not be easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would not be easy for them to do so, nor would it be immediate or automatic; however, it is an eventual possibility. We would obviously keep up the good fight as long as we could, but ultimately they are in control of their system and customers should accept the fact that GM could eventually disable this. Of course, the question that always goes along with \u201ccan they,\u201d is \u201cwill they,\u201d which is really only a question GM can answer.
