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have been replaced by only seven.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.
