The Cadillac CUE stands for Cadillac User Experience and it is the next generation data and entertainment control system that will be featured in new Cadillac vehicles like the ATS, XTS, and 2013 SRX. This latest generation of infotainment adds connectivity and user interface into one easy to manage system. The CUE will be the centerpiece of all future Cadillac interiors. With CUE the operator will be able to control various applications including audio, phone, navigation, heating, and air conditioning systems.

The home screen is nicely integrated into the dash and features a large 8-inch LCD touch screen. The screen also provides something called tactile feedback which is essentially a pulse that is returned when you touch a button. The storage bin located behind the control panel allows you to plugin in your mobile phone which is then operated via Bluetooth through the CUE system.

As an additional option, the 12.3 LCD gauge cluster will replace the regular analog gauges like speedometer and tachometer with a full customizable set of data readouts. There are 4 different screen layouts that mix the vehicle data you choose. On the steering wheel there are integrated controls to manage the LCD gauge cluster, any apps, or practically any system the CUE manages.

The Cadillac CUE system operated like a smart phone or tablet in many ways. You can download various applications that can be integrated within the CUE interface. All the favorites are included like Pandora, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, OnStar, and more. The 3-D navigation offers turn by turn instructions and you can also get real-time weather reports. The CUE system features voice recognition which adds to the ability to control the entire system hands free.

The Cadillac User Experience aims to deliver a very customized and tailored interface that pushes forward the Cadillac brand image. The CUE employs many of the gestures commonly used on today's most popular smart phones and tablets meaning you will be able to understand and navigate your way through the system.

I heard from other reviewers that pulse you get back verifying your selection feels really cheap, nothing you would expect from a Cadillac. Very small feature but I think it should have a specific feel to it, matching the profile of what a Cadillac is.
