How to add GMail to my car??

[DCV1]

I have 2021 C8 z51 3LT convertible ELB and would like to have my Gmail account show up on main display like my messages and notifications do when my iphone is linked to car but can't see how to do it??? Is it possible??

From my point of view, the less communication will give you the best road trip

I don't believe it's possible, unless you can find and add the gmail app to your CarPlay apps.

Not exactly sure how he did but young neighbour had it all working just fine in only a few moments.

In your C8?

 

[DCV1]

Yes in my c8. It filters and reads emails just like it reads text messages. Have yet to try other than in driveway when young lad installed it but at first blush it seems quite good. Time will tell!

Please find out how he did it and post here.

It’s called “Speaking Email Car Play”
Never set it up myself.

Seriously Gmail in the car? Thought you were supposed to be out enjoying the C8 for its performance and beauty.

I set it up for mine this morning. I don't use Gmail but it will work with other email providers. Can't "Reply" (might be a cost upgrade) but nice to be able to listen when I am expecting an important message.
