Intelligent Entertainment: The New Intellilink Infotainment Center

With the smart-phone revolution having no end in sight, automakers are racing to bring that same type of connectivity directly to the car. Two brands stand out in the race, Chevrolet and Buick. That makes sense as Chevy's MyLink and Buick's Intellilink both stem from General Motors' diligent efforts to provide a seamless integration of automotive performance and entertainment. In this article we'll briefly run through some of Intellilinks features and capabilities. 



In the previous generations of Intellilink, you could sense that maybe Buick had rushed its implementation of the technology. The buttons were bulky and cluttered. The functionality was not intuitive.

The next-generation Intellilink solves all those problems. The user interface is streamlined and natural. The previous 17 physical buttons have been replaced by only seven. The touch-screen icons are large and easily identifiable.

All the magic takes place within a generous 8 inch touch-screen. Take advantage of its superior connectivity with your mobile device. Intellilink uses the same gestures we've become so familiar with. Slide your fingers to the left or right, performing what Buick refers to as a 'Fling'. Drag and drop items. You can also utilize the natural voice recognition to control the system. 

Altogether, these features make it easy to safely perform whatever it is you're trying to do, even at highway speeds.

Intellilink is available on the 2014 LaCrosse and Regal. Browse our selection on the Bob Brown Buick GMC Website.
