Pretty useless for the center display if you ask me. Also Uconnect screen is far too busy and a lot of icons too small to find easily while driving. Add to it they don't offer CarPlay or AA yet, Uconnect definitely is inferior to me.

I like the way Uconnect UI is laid out, but I don't like the colors. One thing I really liked though - whenever I plugged in any phone via the USB port, the system quickly read all the music and started playing it (respecting any "no meida" files in folders); not one Chevy (including my current 2SS) just works with every phone. Aren't there like two or three standards for reading media from a USB device these days..? There's Apple's ridiculous as ever proprietary method that everyone still adopts no matter how ridiculous it seems; there's the standard FAT/NTFS file system that should be available on almost any non-Apple device; and there is some extra stuff you can read from Android/Windows/Palm that will prevent system ringtones from playing in the car... 90% of the time I plug in my Galaxy S6 (the most popular Android phone mind you) I just get 10 or so ringtones that mylink starts playing- then promptly stops playing any audio. I plug in a different phone (HTC One for example) and the thing just starts working
Can't wait for Android Auto!
