Buick’s Guide to Advanced Infotainment System Usage

1. 4G LTE

Buick’s 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot allows up to seven devices to connect to the internet simultaneously. Your passengers can connect their smartphones, tablets, and laptops to high-speed internet through the vehicle’s in-built Wi-Fi hotspot and browse the web while on the move.

2. Bluetooth Audio

Your favorite music can be played from a paired Bluetooth device and can be controlled by either the infotainment controls or the controls on your electronic device. Launch the music by touching the media on the infotainment display, then power on the device and pair it to connect. Once paired, go to the audio application from the Home page or via the applications tray. You can then tap Media and scroll until Bluetooth displays.

4. Navigation System

The navigation system is a computer mapping tool drivers use to locate their destinations. It uses sensors, GPS satellites, and online data to help drivers find the most reliable routes. It can also immediately correct navigation if your car misses a turn and provide an update on the alternative directions. Navigation features include cancel route/resume to, traffic, a map view, routing preferences, and current location.

5. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Connecting your compatible smartphones to CarPlay and Android Auto lets you get turn-by-turn directions, make and receive calls, listen to music, and more. To start using Android Auto, download it from the Google Play Store. No app is required for Apple CarPlay. You can then connect the Android phone or iPhone with the compatible phone USB cable and plug it into a USB data port. For a more effective performance, use the device’s factory-offered USB cable.

6. Voice Recognition

Operating touchscreens or buttons while driving can be really distracting, risking your safety and that of other road users. Voice recognition lets the driver control car functions without taking their eyes off the road. It can help initiate phone calls, adjust air conditioning, or navigate to a specific destination.
