In the 2015 car my Android connects with bluetooth and works with Pandora, music, phone, contacts and texts.
What else will the new version do? It would be nice to use Google Maps and Waze.

In my Hyundai, Google maps comes up on the nav screen. With any luck, this will happen in the Vette

First thing is going to be for G M to fix the connectivity for android in the '16. Neither the LG G4 or Samsung S6 will stay connected. They worked great in the '15.

It's not the phones. AT&T replaced the first LG G4 under warranty just in case it was the phone firmware. Nope, second one has the same issue. Sucks.

Define "connected". You mean bluetooth? I've had a disconnect once or twice but generally it works fairly well. I have an S6 Edge Plus.

If I go into Bluetooth settings on my phone, and disable access "Contacts and Phone log" & "Messages" the problem goes away. I'm hoping with the marshmallow 6.x update, the problem will be fixed and I'll be able to remove the Samsung dialer app and just use Google's 'Phone' app for dialling, contacts, etc.

Go into your Bluetooth settings on your phone, and disable access "Contacts and Phone log" & "Messages" and the problem goes away. It bothers me that I can't get my car to reply to text messages for me, but at least it doesn't disconnect every 30 seconds.
