Cadillac has announced the 2015 ATS Coupe will be the first vehicle to introduce the company’s OnStar 4G LTE system and Cadillac CUE Collection of apps when it goes on sale this summer.
OnStar 4G LTE provides a faster, stronger internet connection for running in-vehicle applications compared to the outgoing 2G/3G system. The built-in connection serves as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot for the occupants, which can accommodate up to seven devices at once.
The faster 4G connection also provides internet support for Cadillac’s CUE infotainment system, which will now feature CUE Collection, a new in-car app marketplace that will be standard on 2015 Cadillac vehicles equipped with CUE. It is accessible through an icon on the car’s touch screen, and can download, organize, update or delete downloaded apps. Cadillac says apps which will be available at launch include iHeartRadio, The Weather Channel, NPR and Slacker Radio.
Cadillac’s CUE system also features new, enhanced capabilities, like the Text-To-Voice feature, which can read text messages aloud through the car’s audio system when connected to Bluetooth. Users can also program preset messages into CUE when parked, which the system will automatically reply with when you are busy driving. The system also sees the addition of Siri Eyes Free for iPhone users, which allows occupants to connect their iPhone to CUE and use the voice activation button on the steering wheel to begin and end voice-controlled sessions with Siri.
Cadillac CUE is available as an option on 2015 ATS Coupe base models and is standard on Luxury, Performance and Premium versions of the car. Meanwhile, OnStar 4G LTE and CUE Collection will become available on the entire Cadillac model lineup by the second half of this year. Pricing is yet to be announced.

All that is to improve the performance and reliability of the CUE technology, I like

The complaints keep coming about cue
I would never NEVER purchase a vehicle with any form of OnStar, MyLink, or Uconnect!!!! Using the link below, please check out the Kenwood DNN 990. There are others like it…this is only one example. I accessed the link via Google and it (the link) works. I humbly submit that compared to the Kenwood DNN 990 & systems like it, the systems organic to the majority of domestic and import automobiles in the United States fall short of the Kenwood DNN 990 & systems like it. In short, if I bought a new premium car, I’d have to spend additional income on a more advanced system—like the Kenwood DNN 900. It’s too bad that U.S. auto manufacturers cannot work with Kenwood or another company to add state-of-the-art social media/entertainment/communications/navigation technology/services to their premium automobiles. Historically, most U.S. auto manufacturers have not been shy about working (collaborating /partnering) with a variety of autonomous companies to add value to their automobiles—why not Kenwood or some other company that knows more about automotive social media/entertainment/communications/navigation systems…?
When is the CUE collection coming out in Canada? I just purchased a 2015 ATS and the CUE looks the exact same as the 2014 SRX I own with the exception of an added SMS text icon there – no apps or anything. OnStar advisors don’t seem to know anything when I ask about it.
