Along with Bluetooth-based smartphone connectivity, IntelliLink includes voice commands for various vehicle functions as well streaming audio through Pandora and Stitcher SmartRadio. Updates to the system for 2013 include added features for SiriusXM satellite radio, a new "Quick Info" icon for the most popular features and a "Transfer to Private" icon that allows a Bluetooth-paired phone call to be moved off the vehicle's speakerphone for an added level of discretion.
While the Verano Turbo and the updated Enclave are likely still the biggest 2013 model year news items for most Buick fans, the expansion of IntelliLink should help keep the automaker competitive in the increasingly important infotainment/telematics realm.
