Cadillac's advanced multimedia system, called CUE for Cadillac User Experience, is about to get its first update since its 2011 introduction. The system, which centers around a large touch-screen with a haptic response 'bump' when touched, has been both celebrated and criticized for its operation. In some vehicles it seems to work quite well, yet in others, testers have found it to be slow. Whatever one's experience with it, it remains one of the more advanced systems on the market, and it is about to receive its first update, according to. But Cars.com has learned that the update is more than just a speed and performance enhancement. New functions will also be introduced to the system. While the CUE system will get faster screens and quicker haptic acknowledgments with the update, a notable new feature will also be added: integration of Apple's Siri concierge functions, enabling full use of Siri through the vehicle's speakers.

Owners must have a connected Apple product with Siri concierge, and now Siri replies will be given through the vehicle's systems. In addition, new navigation features — evacuation routes for coastal areas prone to weather emergencies and more complete street name databases — will be added. The media player receives an update as well. It will now display embedded album art from songs loaded via the USB port. 'We said when we introduced CUE in 2011 that the Cadillac you eventually sell will be smarter than the one you bought, due to the updates we intend to introduce for the system over time,' Cadillac's Brian Corbett told Cars.com. 'This is the first of those updates.' Customers are to be notified beginning in March with updates to follow soon after.
Those updates, Corbett notes, will be optional; if a customer is satisfied with the system the way it is, there's no obligation to have the CUE system updated. Unlike Ford, which updated its Sync and MyFord Touch systems wirelessly and through direct-mail USB dongles, Cadillac will perform the updates at the dealer.
The Cadillac User Experience (CUE) system is a highly advanced, in-car. This feature on all models (perhaps they plan to enable this with a future update).

Our Journey So Far When we first announced Cue to the world, we were a team of 12, today we are a team of over 50 people spanning multiple engineering disciplines including bioengineering, electrical engineering, software, virology, and automation production engineering. Our team also includes regulatory specialists and quality system experts for US and international regulatory bodies. We’ve grown to occupy two buildings here in San Diego, CA and are opening a third facility in the fall of this year. Originally, we were planning on manufacturing both the reader/charger system (what we call Cue) and the cartridges at a contract manufacturing facility in China. However, we decided to onshore the production of Cue cartridges and produce them in a fully automated way in-house. Cue cartridges appear simple on the outside but are internally very sophisticated with many components requiring the precision assembly only robotics can provide. We also produce in-house all of the biological components such as enzymes and antibodies used in the cartridges to help generate a result from a biological sample.
Committing to assembling the cartridges in San Diego and building an automated production line for the assembly, rather than partly relying on hand assembly, was the right choice for overall quality of the product and provides a scalable manufacturing platform to meet cartridge demand after launch. We also have been focused on developing our technology beyond what we started with for the infectious disease tests. Cue can now detect the actual DNA or RNA of an infectious agent. We developed our own nucleic acid amplification technology to help enhance sensitivity for tests such as influenza, HIV, Strep throat, Chlamydia / Gonorrhea. This was a big area of development for our engineering team and we are proud of what we accomplished.
As part of this capability, we began a partnership with Johnson & Johnson to develop a quantitative HIV viral load test especially focused on the developing world. Hardware & Software We are excited to have entered early stage production of the Cue Health Monitoring System, including the Cue Cartridge Reader, Wireless Charging Base, and Cue Power Supply and Charging Cable, and associated packaging. We have successfully completed a pilot build of Cue units on our production line. This pilot build allowed us to run the entire product assembly process and test our fixtures and build methods. The next build will be the Engineering Validation Testing (EVT) build which will bring our manufacturing process and our quality system and documentation together.

We plan on building several hundred EVT units. Shortly after testing EVT units, we will kick off a Design Validation Testing (DVT) build. Units from DVT will be used in our upcoming clinical studies for our initial set of cartridges.
