Have you recently cancelled onstar, and are annoyed by all the “you need a data plan for this” and “you need onstar for that” messages? Or just tired of seeing apps like navigation that you can’t use taking up real estate? This video will show you how to reclaim your infotainment system from onstar. As well as the ability to use your in vehicle apps without it with either a phone hotspot or other mobile hotspot device.

In the second half of the video, I show how i resolved the carplay audio stuttering/cutting out bug, where music randomly drops then comes back a few moments later.

NOTE: not sure if it’s correlated, but i also deleted the Xfinity app from my phone. This is because xfinity will control your phones wifi and jump to available networks, which may be interfering with carplay as you pass businesses with xfinity wifi. If you still experience audio stuttering, try deleting the xfinity app.

Thank you for watching, please let me know in the comments if this doesn’t resolve your infotainment issues and ill try to help!
