Spy photos have shown an updated infotainment system running Android Automotive OS, signaling a potential departure from GM's proprietary software. That means the inclusion of HD Radio in future models is unknown. It's worth noting that the Silverado and Sierra are expected to undergo a mid-cycle refresh for the 2022 model year.
However, many drivers still use their vehicle's tuner every single day, so there will still be a potential impact on customers.
