Does the Blazer EV have Android Auto?
No — the Blazer EV does not support Android Auto. Chevrolet uses Google Built-In for its in-car infotainment, which provides Google apps and services directly on the head unit.
The Blazer EV represents a shift toward Google-powered software in Chevrolet’s electric lineup. This article explains what that means for drivers, how to use the available systems, and how it compares with vehicles that rely on Android Auto or CarPlay for smartphone integration.
What "Google Built-In" means for the Blazer EV
The Blazer EV’s infotainment system runs Google Built-In, a version of Google’s software designed to operate natively on the car’s display. This gives you access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and other Google apps without linking through your phone. Depending on market and trim, you can also access a selection of apps via the Google Play Store on the head unit itself.
Key capabilities
Here are the core features you get with Google Built-In in the Blazer EV.
- Google Maps with live traffic and turn-by-turn navigation on the vehicle screen
- Google Assistant for hands-free control of features and queries
- Access to select apps via the Google Play Store on the head unit
- Voice search, messaging integration, and other Google services
Note that this in-car system operates independently of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. If you rely on your phone’s apps, you’ll typically use Bluetooth audio streaming or other supported connection methods to bring content into the cabin.
Smartphone integration options in the Blazer EV
Because Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not available on the Blazer EV’s Google Built-In interface, drivers should lean into the built-in Google experience and standard smartphone connectivity features for hands-free use and navigation. The following options summarize the supported approach.
- Voice-enabled control through Google Assistant for infotainment, navigation, and vehicle functions
- Google Maps navigation with real-time traffic on the head unit
- Bluetooth pairing for hands-free calling, messaging, and audio streaming
- Access to select third-party apps via Google Play Store on the head unit (availability varies by trim/market)
If you specifically require Android Auto, check with a Chevrolet dealer or the latest GM software updates, as feature sets can evolve with new releases and regional configurations.
Practical considerations by market and update cycle
Software offerings can vary by region, model year, and production run. GM has rolled out Google Built-In across several models as part of a broader push toward native Google services, but the exact mix of features—and any support for Android Auto or CarPlay—may change with over-the-air updates and regional regulations. Always verify the current infotainment capabilities for your exact Blazer EV configuration.
Summary
Bottom line: The Blazer EV currently emphasizes Google Built-In as its primary infotainment interface, and Android Auto is not listed as a standard option. Navigation and many apps come from Google on the car’s display, with Bluetooth and other connectivity options available for smartphone use. For drivers who specifically require Android Auto, confirm the latest software offerings with Chevrolet or a local dealer, as feature sets can change with updates.
