**Excerpt:**
General Motors (GM) has blocked a dealership from installing third-party Apple CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit kits for its EVs, citing concerns over safety and warranty implications. The move has frustrated EV owners who relied on the kits, developed by White Automotive and Media Services (WAMS), to restore smartphone mirroring features removed by GM in 2023. While GM defends its decision as a way to focus on EV-specific features, critics argue it limits consumer choice and convenience. The discontinuation of the WAMS kit highlights the growing tension between automakers and third-party developers over vehicle software, leaving GM EV owners without a viable aftermarket solution for smartphone integration.
