New wheels and color for 2017

[ajs800]

I wonder why they changed from red to green backlighting? I'm assuming chevy and gmc are now the same with the green?

now is the mirroring iphone thing dlna a software thing or is it actual new hardware like a totally different screen for the movies if so any pictures would be greatly appreciated

I have not had time to try this yet. From what I understand its software, not hardware, that uses an app on your phone/tablet to project onto the existing screens. In GM's words "WiFi allows devices to wirelessly project onto their vehicle screens on the in-vehicle screens through Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) (can only wirelessly project from one device at a time)"

Its actually blue, not green. I am pretty sure both Chevy and GMC are using the same blue backlighting now, at least on the Yukon they are.

Interesting mostly color and wheel changes. The rest seem to be firmware/software changes and a new input option for entertainment . Wondering if something like low speed braking can be added through an update? Active aero shutters sounds cool.
