Does anyone know of a way to manually upload applications to the 2025 Blazer EV? I would love to be able to add P cominrime, Netflix, Disney, etc..
everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions and preferences. What comes of that is anyone's guess.I would just be happy if the internet I pay for gave me speeds faster than 0.3 Mbps and if Apple Music were added to the Play Store. I am not reaching too high here. I know that Apple is the one holding it up, but that doesn't mean I am less interested in the app becoming available on the Play Store, since CarPlay will never be a thing.
I was at the dealership on Wednesday and informed them that after getting the loaner car with Apple CarPlay, I am more determined than ever to ensure that I will not purchase a Chevy EV again if they do not add it. I even told them that when this car is ready to be traded, I will look at Kia, Honda, Volkswagen, Audi, or I will go a whole new direction and look at cars that should have HFCV's available on the market and go that direction with the manufacturer that builds them with CarPlay.
For now, I will make the most of my car-driving experience and enjoy the time I have with this car.
It does not exist for any car that has AAOS with the play store. Rivian's application is TOTALLY different in that certain apps are built into the interface directly- if you pay for the necessary plan. As I said, Rivians do not have Google play store, they have a one off solution that they worked out with apple. Chevy does not have that system so the fact that Rivian (and no one else) has AM doesn't really mean much to blazer owners. Nissan, Ford, Honda, etc. do not have apple music either and they all use AAOS. Rivians only get the apps and functions that Rivian directly rolls out- they do not have general use apps- this is why Rivians cant access Plugshare or ABRP apps AFAIK. So again, you have not presented any evidence that GM is preventing apple music from rolling out on this platform. If apple makes the app available, all vehicles with AAOS would be able to use it, full stop.I’m an Apple fan and I’ll be the first to say they do plenty wrong like every company out there.
The fact of the matter is though there is technically a version of Apple Music for AAOS since Rivian’s OS uses this as a base. Think similar to how Samsung has their own version of Android.
All GM needs to do is have it compiled to work with their version of AAOS. If that means working with Apple so be it. GM has to initiate the conversation.
