Would like to see the update question posed to Ask Al, instead of speculating... I am pretty sure I know the answet isn’t going to be what I want.

What do you think, will new Infotainment 3 fit 2016-2018 Camaro? Does it worth it? Any special functions?

It may work but doubt anyone would guarantee it or give you the core deposit when you return the older style one. But then again the only what to know would be to call or write the company.
As to worth..... Everything is only worth what people are willing to pay. While it wouldn't be worth it to me if you're that into the new system (which I heard is no vast improvement) then it may be worth it for you. If that's the case who cares if anyone else thinks it is or isn't. |

I used to work for one of the major GPS Map suppliers, that cost is set by the map company, not GM or Chevy. |

My concern is that the infotainment system controls settings of the car. It is not just a radio/gps. Don’t we buy the car for the driving??

I had a rental 2019 Malibu when I had my shudder fixed a couple weeks ago, and it had the 8 inch infortainment screen and maybe it was just a Malibu, but the screens colors looks REALLY washed out. They have this weird looking white hue over the Apple CarPlay icons and I didn’t like it. The layout is okay, more cartoony for the main screen. Otherwise I thought I’d love it or be impressed, I wasn’t.

What is the benefit of the new software?
Anyway most car manufacturers are in the infotainment software/hardware stone age. I have an old Toyota Rav4 and I put in a $250 Android Head unit with builtin GPS along with Waze, and Google Maps that can use your phones hot spot. And any other Adroid App. That HU is SO much better and way more flexible than my top of the line Accord and my ZL1, and better than any other car I have driven or rented. But then we are in control and not the car company. Imagine that.

Infotainment 2.0 is not compatible with infotainment 3.0.
Infotainment 2.0 is MOST based systems. Infotainment 3.0 is Ethernet AVB. Infotainment 3.0 also implements it’s first step in cyber security in the Global B architecture.
