2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Infotainment
The Silverado 1500's infotainment system comes in two configurations depending on trim:
- Chevrolet Infotainment 3: the standard system on Work Truck and lower trims, featuring a 7-inch diagonal HD colour touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, and In-Vehicle Wi-Fi Hotspot capability.
- Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium: available on LT and above, this upgrades to a 13.4-inch diagonal HD colour touchscreen with every bit of Google compatibility you can imagine. The 13.4-inch screen is one of the largest displays in the full-size truck segment and delivers a significantly more immersive interface for navigation, media, and vehicle settings.
Both systems include:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- In-Vehicle Wi-Fi Hotspot capability
- Bluetooth audio and hands-free calling
- AM/FM, SiriusXM satellite radio, and USB connectivity
