General Motors is rolling out new software updates for Cadillac's infotainment system, adding features aimed at making the interface easier to see, tap, and personalize. The changes, which apply to media controls, digital vehicle settings, apps, and the home screen, are delivered over the air to select 2025 and 2026 Cadillac models as each vehicle receives the latest software package.
GM says the updates are driven by customer feedback and are intended to make the system more intuitive and responsive. The overhaul includes a new media queue, larger touch targets, tweaked seat and charging controls, sharper head-up display graphics, and a faster Bluetooth pairing flow, with more home screen changes already planned for a future release.

A dropdown source selector allows switching between audio apps and inputs with fewer taps. GM notes that the queue view works with supported paid music streaming subscriptions, so some services may not enable the full feature set.
Comfort controls also get attention. On-screen seat graphics now mirror the physical seat controls on the door, giving a clearer picture of which part of the seat is being adjusted. GM says this should make adjustments more intuitive, especially for drivers unfamiliar with the layout of the buttons when they first get into the vehicle.
Drivers can now link up to two user profiles to the vehicle’s seat memory buttons, so pressing a memory button can restore both the saved seat position and the corresponding driver profile. GM states this feature will debut on the 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ and then spread to other GM vehicles over time through future software updates.
To cut down on mis-taps, the company has enlarged the touch areas for frequently used controls, whether you are changing drive modes or typing a Wi-Fi password when connecting to a new network or hotspot. Inside the in-vehicle charging app, GM has revised labels and descriptions, aiming to make charging notifications and features easier to understand at a glance.
Beyond the main screen, GM has updated the head-up display with sharper graphics and text for better readability. Bluetooth setup is also streamlined, removing one confirmation step so pairing a phone should take less time. These changes add to GM’s broader push to treat its vehicles more like updatable tech products, similar to other recent infotainment and feature updates across the industry.
