General Motors is lifting a page from Hyundai’s initiative to replace the traditional owner’s manual book with an Apple iPad on the Equus, by offering a standard iPad on the new 2013 Cadillac XTS full-size sedan to assist owners with the CUE infotainment system.
What differentiates Cadillac’s move from the Korean automaker is that the XTS’s iPad is more interactive as it will come pre-fitted with several special apps including one that replicates many of the controls and features of the CUE center stack along with the MyCadillac App and OnStar RemoteLink.
Furthermore, users will be able to contact “trained technology experts” from their local Cadillac dealership that will assist owners with questions or simply wishing to provide feedback for the system.
“We’re blending the advanced technology of CUE with the personal touches of a luxury experience,” Butler said. “We’ve built a thorough approach, enabling customers to give us feedback on the technology as they use it, as well as providing support for dealers and buyers who have questions.”
