What is Google Built-In?
Google Built-In is an integrated infotainment system designed to bring Google services—like Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Google Play App Store—directly into your vehicle. Unlike traditional smartphone mirroring systems like Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, Google Built-In is fully embedded into your vehicle’s controls, allowing you to operate these apps and services without needing to plug in or rely on your phone. This system is built to provide a more personalized and hands-free driving experience, offering real-time navigation, media options, and even voice-activated commands. With Google Built-In, you can access your Google apps like never before, all while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
- MyChevrolet Google Assistant and Voice Control: Another feature that makes Chevy Google Built-In stand out is its integration with Google Assistant. By simply using your voice, you can adjust the temperature, check your calendar, set reminders, or send a text, all while keeping your hands free and eyes on the road. With just a quick “Hey Google,” you can take control of your drive—hands-free! Call or text friends, play your favorite tunes, set reminders, or even adjust the temperature—all without lifting a finger. Simply say “Hey Google,” tap the Google Assistant icon, or press the PUSH-TO-TALK button to get started. It’s all the help you need right at your command.
- Google Maps: Navigate like a pro with Google Maps, your ultimate road companion. Get real-time traffic updates, find charging stations on your route, and access all the trip details you need—effortlessly integrated into your drive. With Google Maps, every journey is smoother, smarter, and more informed. If you are wondering about whether you can set Google Maps for trucks, there is a feature where you can adjust your vehicle settings, including the engine type.
- Google Play: With Google Play, bringing your favorite apps, music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more into your car is a breeze. Download everything you love directly to your vehicle’s center display, making your ride more enjoyable and your content easier to access than ever before. It’s the simple, intuitive way to upgrade your in-car experience.
Costs and Subscription: Does Google Built-In Require a Subscription?
While Google Built-In offers a wide range of features, it’s important to note that certain services require a paid subscription. Accessing features like Google Maps and Google Assistant typically involves a monthly fee. If you want the full premium experience, you can opt for the higher-tier plans. Choosing not to subscribe means you may lose access to some of these Google services, such as live traffic updates or voice control features. For users who rely heavily on these features, it may be worth considering the subscription fees to maintain a high level of convenience and connectivity.

Comparison to Other Infotainment Systems
When compared to other infotainment systems like Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, Chevy Google Built-In offers unique benefits through its integration with Google services. If you’re already invested in the Google suite of applications (such as Google Calendar, Gmail, or Google Photos), Chevy Google Built-In provides a seamless experience. However, some users still prefer traditional phone projection methods rather than using the system built directly into their vehicle. Google Built-In also stands out for its emphasis on voice control and hands-free operation, making it a top choice for drivers looking for convenience and safety.
Is Google Built-In Right for You?
Whether Chevy Google Built-In is the right system for you depends on your preferences and how much you value Google’s suite of services. If you love the idea of hands-free driving with Google Assistant, real-time navigation, and personalized music or news updates, then this system is likely to enhance your driving experience. However, the subscription costs and occasional technical glitches may be deterrents for some drivers. If you’re comfortable with those trade-offs and prefer a fully integrated, tech-savvy system, Google Built-In could be the perfect addition to your Chevrolet.
