Buyers will need an active OnStar subscription to work the native navigation app

GM uses Google Built-In software on many new infotainment systems. However, it's only offering features like native navigation through a subscription. For now, users can still leverage Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Heads up shoppers, those interested in a General Motors product that includes Google Built-In better be ready for subscriptions.
