My 2025 LT just came back from two weeks at the dealer and two things changed for me. The vehicle status app seems new and in the google play store video streaming apps are now available under the category "Things to do while you're parked."

Is this new for all or did the .mnf file they installed on the updates just turned this on for me?

Interesting, I haven't seen any of those screens, I'll have to check them out, thanks!

It has to be downloaded, ( downloaded apps are the only ones you can delete later )
The rest of the changes to the display must be due to the dealer update he mentioned earlier.

My '23 is on Android 11. I wonder if it will ever get updated past this.
I think you will have to ask your dealer, I don't remember which android I started with when I got my 23 in Feb, I would have to check the build date to puzzle it out.
I don't think its the android system that gave the new gauge look. I have to see my dealer for another fuel injection recall/update (it will be the second one done to my truck) I will ask them to check for further updates.

I just noticed something with the new guage set up display. The old version, the was an arrow to each, which would give you the option to add to the dic. Don't see the arrow (?)
I wonder if you can scroll the gauges on the dic like the gen2 now (?)
Also tried the long press home, nothing happened

where/what is the home button?
The one that looks like a home/house (I'm a smart A$$ this morning), left side bottom of infotainment. I was curious because of what was mentioned

That icon is the weather map app that I loaded from the play store. You can drag and drop apps to the sidebar. That used to be where apple play was but I found you can long press the home icon to jump to apple play.
Still to be tested on my part, going to re activate Android Auto on my phone so it connects to the truck, then see if a long press will start AA since his starts Apple Play.

I have the 2 things that say Andriod off, cause I do not have an andriod, should they be on to download?

as far as I can tell mine did something once, while driving the whole screen went blank then came back up with the word ANDRIOD then went back to normal

I'm far from understanding all of this, but my logic. It has nothing to do with what type of phone you have, the base system of the truck is android based. From the stock Google Maps, keyboard selection etc all seem android. The apps you can add to the base infotainment system are from the play store (android)

The only difference between phone type (android vs apple) is whether Android Auto or Apple Play is accessible

Is my logic off, I don't know

Not trying and don't want to highjack this thread but I have to ask this question. In the OP's pictures I noticed what appears to be the same issue I'm seeing/having. On the temperature control knobs (that displays the set temperature). It appears that the temperature is displayed but the red (hot) and the blue (cold) on the top of said knob is not lit up. Maybe it's just the angle of the picture? On my 24 ZR2 the red and blue bars come and go intermittently. Sometimes their on, sometimes their off. The temperature has always displayed. Wondering if anyone else has seen this or having this issue. Sorry for the highjack.

Someone up thread mentioned EV. The loaner I had was an EV and I did connect my google profile. I wonder if that enabled the EV things to do while you charge feature for both vehicles. Hmmmm. Anyone have a friend with a GM EV to try it?
