GM Unlocks 200-Plus Apps for Google Built-in Vehicles, Adding YouTube to 2025 SUVs

Summary
GM said software updates are rolling out more than 200 Android Automotive apps to Google built-in vehicles, expanding in-car downloads through Google Play.
YouTube, Disney+, Hulu, AMC+ and other streaming apps are part of the release, with video on the main screen limited to when the vehicle is parked.
Rear-seat screens in select 2025-and-newer SUVs — including the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade line, and GMC Yukon models — can also run passenger apps, with more audio services coming soon.
The move matters because newer GM vehicles have dropped Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making the built-in Google-based infotainment system the main path for apps and media.
