GMC did not include Apple CarPlay functionality in the Terrain until the 2018 model year, so unfortunately, it's not available in your 2015 model. None of GMC's models older than 2016 come equipped with Apple CarPlay; the earliest models to have it were the Canyon, Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL in 2016. However, if you're looking to connect to Apple's ecosystem, there are still options available to you. Companies such as Alpine, Pioneer, and Kenwood produce CarPlay-compatible head units that can be installed in vehicles as old as 2000. While they may be a bit expensive (around $500), the convenience of Apple's user-friendly interface might be worth the investment. Additionally, these companies claim that CarPlay can help reduce distractions while driving, potentially enhancing safety by keeping the driver focused on the road rather than on their phone.
The 2015 GMC Terrain is now equipped with Apple CarPlay after receiving a software update to enable this feature.
The 2015 GMC Terrain didn't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto when it was first released, but now you can get a software update from your nearby dealership or opt for an aftermarket system.
How can I update the software on my vehicle's navigation system?
