Neither Apple or Android has this for the C7 yet. There is a small rumor it can happen in '16 to have android auto, mirrorlink and apple carplay.

No current workarounds.

There is a work around. An after market co. Can mirror your android or apple phone to the screen.

After i do it I'll post pics.

Are you using bluetooth ??? I have 2 Android phones no problem !!! If you play music just connect from the earphone jack of phone to small round jack in the armrest compartment !!! The aux symbol should show up on the screen then just tap the song on your phone and it should start playing !!! I have a nano small ipod without bluetooth and play it through the small jack where AUX shows !!! Wayne
