Google built-in adds personalization and conveniences in your vehicle's custom infotainment system. Integrated into your vehicle controls you can experience Google Assistant, Google Maps and more on Google Play. Talk to Google Assistant to get access to hands-free features such as call or text friends, listen to music or change the temperature in your vehicle using just your voice. Google Maps gets you live traffic updates, identifies EV charging stations along your route and, if equipped, finds routes that identify Super Cruise®* compatible roads. And with Google Play download some of your favorite music, podcasts, audiobooks and more.

If your vehicle comes with Google built-in, you’ll see Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play icons on the center display. 

Signing into the system with your Google Account will provide a more complete and personalized experience. Certain features, such as downloading apps on Google Play, can only be used if you are signed in to a Google Account.

 
Note: You do not need a Gmail Account to create a Google Account. You can use a different email address.

Some features, including Google Assistant, Google Maps and apps on Google Play, require a service plan or trial. Once the initial connectivity period included with your vehicle purchase ends, you will be able to choose from several plan options to enable continued use of those features.

You will be able to enjoy audio features like AM/FM radio. On select vehicles, stream music from your paired device, use Android Auto ™* or Apple CarPlay®* for seamless smartphone integration, access voice control via your connected phone's compatible voice assistant, customize vehicle settings, and utilize certain features of the in-vehicle trailering app (if equipped).

On the 2022 GMC HUMMER EV Pickup specifically, you can use the in-vehicle off-road app and in-vehicle energy app without a service plan. 

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay available via projection on select vehicles.

The Setup Wizard is designed to walk you through the steps of setting up and personalizing the system anytime you create a new profile in the vehicle. It will prompt you to sign in to your GM Account (user profile) and Google Account, pair your phone via Bluetooth,®* and more if you wish to do so. You can skip certain steps, but keep in mind, skipping setup steps may impact the user experience of the system. 

You will also be asked to accept or decline certain permissions, such as location services. You can read more about each of these requests before you accept or decline. Note: In some cases, declining may prevent the use of certain features. 
 

The Setup Wizard must be completed while the vehicle is in PARK. If you start driving the vehicle while the Setup Wizard is in use, it will close and then remind you to continue setup again next time you start the vehicle. Get additional help setting up the system from Google.

You can skip certain steps, but the next time you start the vehicle, use Google Maps or enter Google Play, you may be reminded to finish any skipped steps. Some features of the system will require you to accept or decline certain permissions to use them.

You can manually update your apps on Google Play or turn on auto-updates. 

To manually update the app, open the menu on Google Play and select “My apps,” then select “Update.” 

For automatic updates, go to “settings” on Google Play and select “auto-updates over any network.”

Your GM Account is different from your Google Account. Each account enables different functionalities within the vehicle. 

Your GM Account is the same account you use to access your other vehicle services, such as the myChevrolet, myGMC, myCadillac or myBuick mobile app and owner resources. Use the same email address you provided to your Dealer when you purchased your vehicle. You can use this to view your current service plans, control your notification preferences, schedule service appointments and even save charging stations for your EV.

Your Google Account allows you to bring additional personalization into the vehicle that is tied to the Google apps and services you may use. For example, your saved home and work addresses will appear in Google Maps in the vehicle. You can also access your Google Calendar in the vehicle using Google Assistant. You must be signed into your Google Account to download apps on Google Play in the vehicle. After you sign in, the profile name in the vehicle will match your Google Account name. 

Note: Using a Google Account is optional and at the discretion of the user. When signing in with your Google Account, you will be asked to review the Google Terms and Privacy Statement and accept them in order to continue.

You can store up to seven user profiles in the vehicle, not including the guest profile.

To switch profiles or access profile-related settings, tap the name in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Yes. You can tap on the name to get to your user profile. From there, you can edit the name that is displayed on the screen. If you’ve signed into your Google Account on the infotainment system, the name associated with your Google Account will automatically appear.

Just like with a smartphone, this capability allows you to conveniently reboot your center display without shutting off your vehicle.

To initiate a system reboot, put your vehicle in park and hold the end call button on your steering wheel for ~20secs. You may see a service screen pop up. You do not need to select any options on the service screen. Continue to hold the end call button until the center display turns off. Then let go of the end call button and the center display will boot up as normal.

About 20 seconds to initiate the reboot.
