When will there be a new update for Android Auto?

The Billion Auto Group showroom is home to some of the most popular automotive brands in the world. One of the things that tie most, if not all of them together is a growing commitment to providing vehicle owners with the latest smartphone connectivity technology. Android Auto™ is able to integrate the native functionality of each automaker’s infotainment system with the applications available through the phone smartphone software. Since vehicles have offered this capability for a few years, we’ve been getting a lot of questions wondering, ‘When will there be a new update for Android Auto?’ According to an article on AutoBlog, Google will be vastly changing its automotive interface in the very near future. Let’s take a look at what we can expect to see. Read the rest of this entry >>

What technology features does the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica have?

There was a time when school pickup lanes and youth sports fields were filled with minivans.

With the current model year well underway, Billion Auto Group product experts have noticed an uptick in potential buyers asking, ‘What technology features does the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica have?’ Now that the well-equipped minivan is available at our showroom, our team is in a better position to bring our customers this information. Without putting too fine of a point on things, we can confidently say this is the most technologically advanced vehicle in its class. Read the rest of this entry >>

How do I pre-order the new GMC Sierra CarbonPro?

It seems like the 2019 GMC Sierra has been around for longer than it has actually been for sale or lease at Billion Auto Group. Part of the reason time seems distorted is because of all the new features and equipment the truck-maker has made available, so we’re always learning something new. One new feature that has intrigued more than a few Billion Auto Group customers over the last few months is the truck’s industry-first carbon fiber cargo bed. People regularly ask us, ‘How do I pre-order the new GMC Sierra CarbonPro?’ In addition to giving them that information, we can now also give them a more accurate timeline when it will be available.

Does Jeep offer a hybrid crossover?

Do I need to get snow tires for my vehicle?

There is never a bad time to prepare for the adverse weather we experience during a cold Montana winter. Driving on icy, snow-covered or otherwise less-than-perfect roads is a necessary evil if we’re going to get to work or get groceries. The Billion Auto Group Service Department gets asked, ‘Do I need to get snow tires for my vehicle,’ at least once a month on average throughout the year. Each customer who asks that question gets the same answer, yes. Several traffic-safety studies have been completed on the subject and almost all of them come back with the conclusion that snow tires are very important to safe winter driving. Let’s take a look at a few common questions. Read the rest of this entry >>

Billion Auto Group is home to some of the most popular models in some of the most popular segments in the entire automotive industry. Regardless of what kind of car, truck or SUV someone is interested in buying, picking out the perfect color always seems to be among the hardest choices for a buyer to make. Even the most experienced car buyers ask our product experts, ‘Which color of car gets pulled over the most?’ Conventional wisdom and urban legend say that red will get the most negative attention from law enforcement. However, the data doesn’t quite bear that out. Read the rest of this entry >>
