GMC’s Advanced Infotainment System: Tips and Tricks for New Users

1. Customize Your Home Screen

Your GMC’s infotainment unit allows you to customize the home screen, so your infotainment system displays your preferred apps. Customizing your home screen can make it easier to find your favorite apps and can speed up your infotainment operation so you never have to scroll for the apps you use most often.


Customizing the home screen on your infotainment system is a lot like customizing the home screen on your smartphone. All you need to do is press the Home button, then select the icon you want to move. After holding the icon down for a few seconds, you can drag and drop the icon around the home screen to put the icon in a new position. 

2. Download Apps

If your infotainment system is compatible with in-vehicle app services, you can download apps directly onto your infotainment touchscreen unit. These apps include weather, travel, news, and music apps. To get customized apps for your lifestyle, all you need to do is select the Apps icon, scroll to find the app you want, and then download the app. 

3. Sync Your Phone

Some GMC models are equipped with Google Built-In features, which allow drivers to access apps like Google Maps for navigation, Google Play for entertainment, and Google Assistant for hands-free phone controls. If your vehicle is compatible with Google Built-In, then all you need to do is sync your phone to your car to use these hands-free Google apps. 


You can also sync your phone to your vehicle via a USB cord or aux cord. Depending on your preferences, your infotainment system, and your specific devices, syncing your phone via a USB port can allow you to stream audiobooks, podcasts, or other entertainment applications. 

Can You Ask Your GMC Dealer for GMC Infotainment System Help?

If you can’t troubleshoot your infotainment system at home, then you can always ask for help at the dealership. Dealership representatives and mechanics are trained to help you with all of your vehicle’s key features, including setting up the infotainment system. You can also ask about the infotainment features standard for your model during a test drive to get a feel for how these features work before you buy your car. 


Infotainment is one of the most essential features of a vehicle for modern drivers. Fortunately, GMC makes it easy to customize your infotainment experience. Learn more about your entertainment and connectivity options when you contact Ed Martin Buick GMC in Carmel, IN.
