I recently got an email from chevrolet saying to bring the car in for an update for the android auto. You have to have the app and the cars radio updated before you can use it I believe.

Sorry for the crazy characters in the email but thats a copy/paste of it

 

When will this be available for the 2015's?

 

Android Auto is 16's and above.

 

I have the same issue. I had Android Auto loaded on my 2016 today. I also have Android Auto app on my phone. i cannot get my Galaxy S7 to work with Android Auto. The phone connects fine for Bluetooth for calls, listening to Pandora, etc.

When i plug into any of the the three USB ports using the 4 foot long USB cord that came with the phone nothing happens with Android Auto. (The phone does beep and indicate that its charging) When I then open the app on my phone it says "connect your phone to your car." If i go into "Settings" on the car and open Android Auto, it say Android Auto "is on." I then tap "Manage Android Auto Devices" and it says "No Content Available." There is a button to "Add Devices" but it doesn't do anything presumably because the phone is not recognized as being connected.

Anyone have a similar experience and maybe a solution?

Thanks

EDIT-- I kept searching a found a solution on a Honda forum that worked for my S7. From the top of the phone screen, pull down to where you get the quick settings menu. When you see "connected for charging", you'll need to tap that to see other USB options. Then, tap "Connecting MIDI devices" and the Projection icon on the screen will change to the Android Auto icon. Tap the Android Auto icon and it Android Auto should start.

 

I just had the update done with my 500 mile oil change. I'm having the same issue with a S6 then found your post. Thanks worked like a charm. Now after playing with it, I think Android auto is a waste. It would be useful if I didn't already have navy.

 

Google Maps is head and shoulders above MyLink Nav ('cept for the capability of having multiple way points - Google Maps allows only one). MyLink Nav routinely tells me to make turns onto roads that have long since been modified and about traffic alerts that are not traffic at all. Google Maps is much more up to date WRT that. Plus Google Voice Recognition is also head and shoulders above the crappy voice recognition that comes with the care.

 

A bit disappointed that Android Auto seems to be less than what was expected. Not sure I want to have it installed. Is there any downside? My LG G4 works fine for phone calls and messages which is all I use it for. Is there any reason to have Android Auto installed if I never plan to use my phone for NAV or music?

 

Not in my opinion. Only installed it for the next guy!
