I recently drove a brand new Chevy Bolt. It seemed to have a navigation system, but whenever I tried to activate it, I think it tried to make a phone call to a human(?). Anyway, it doesn't have a keyboard, and doesn't seem to even have onboard voice recognition. Hard pass.
Car play support was decent about 80% of the time. The other 20%, I had to delete the phone pairing and repair to get it to reconnect.
I wasn't particularly impressed, especially given that this car has been in production since 2017, so I'd expect the radio software, etc. to be stable.
I have 2019 Bolt. I don’t use any of the native infotainment UI. The navigation probably required OnStar subscription and why you were getting connected to a person to take credit card.
I use the screen with wireless CarPlay adapter. Very few problems, more with the adapter, and never had to pair the phone more than once.
The car is fine, though I would replace it. I drive so little I can not justify the cost of new car, even with trade-in.
