Cruze owners will be able to integrate their smartphones with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system to access Android Auto or Apple CarPlay via an eight-inch screen. GM is also offering a 7-inch screen option for seven vehicles. Users will be able to download apps from Apple's app store.
Other 2016 Chevrolet models offering the platforms include the Spark, Malibu, Impala, Volt, Camaro, Camaro Convertible, Corvette, Corvette Convertible, Colorado, Silverado, Silverado HD, Tahoe, and Suburban.
Android Auto requires a phone running at least the Android 5.0 "Lollipop" operating system, while Apple CarPlay requires an iPhone 5 or above.
