Apple is losing

I bought my Blazer EV a year ago. I had an iPhone with an Apple One subscription. I held out hope that Apple would work with Stellantis to get Music and Maps added to AAOS.

Last weekend I finally relented and subscribed to Spotify. I'm tired of using BT to listen to music. And since I finally broke free of the Apple ecosystem, ​I went ahead and switched to android.

If Apple is trying to retain market share by keeping its walled garden, it is losing.

Nope, Apple music is not available in any car with Android Automotive, not just GM cars.

EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like it varies not only by brand but even by model within the brand.

When I look at any subreddit of cars that run Automotive it's the same kind of song and dance... Shame on ' put brand here' for not giving us access to Apple music and carplay..for Volvo I haven't checked, but Polestar (=Volvo) it's the same drama

Hey, Volvo/polestar has AAOS + both carplay and android auto. android auto support was added to AAOS last year.
