Here's what "no" means:
1. you'd have to purchase all the updated modules, which means you'd have to know which ones changed, and that isn't going to be easy.
2. you'd have to be able to purchase all the new modules which will be price prohibitive and you'll likely to be able to purchase in the first place.
3. the current wiring harness won't support the new stuff.
4. at the end of the day, likely cheaper to trade-in your 15 for a 16.
On the other hand "no" presents a challenge to those who will not take no for an answer.

Basically, and you aren't even factoring in what I'll charge to make new software for it to even make a retrofit possible; trade it in.

Hi GTP -- curious your perception of the changes coming for the in-dash for 2016. Game changing or incremental?
I'm likely going to go for a 2015 or '16 SLT, car integration is a big deal for me (and I'm a bit of an AAPL enthusiast) and don't necessarily have to buy immediately. CarPlay has me thinking of waiting but then again, I generally opt for Google vs. Apple Maps anyway, music/phone integration already seems good, and I'll probably have to wait a while until the 2016's are more available to get better pricing.
Thoughts?

Wait for the '16s to actually be on a lot somewhere so you can see what was actually deployed...GM and OnStar both have a habit of setting expectations higher than they have the ability to deliver on the technology/electronics front.

The changes are just small evolutions as far as the end user can see the big changes are programming behind the scenes. Its the same infotainment just with a beefier controller and software to allow for car play, they look the same on the outside.
