Here is a link to an interview by Chevrolet on June 24, 2015. The person being interviewed says Android Auto is now shipping with the 2016's Corvettes.

Is this something that can be updated (for a '16), or is it a hardware upgrade?

No, I'm pretty sure the 2016 will support both systems once the software is updated.

Try downloading Android Auto (AA) to your Android phone first and then connect from the phone to the USB port in the center console. Hopefully the car will then recognize AA.

Current 2016s don't have the Android Auto software in them yet. GM said it would come later. Hopefully as a software update to existing 2016s.
