Android auto should be free if you're under the bumper to bumper. Called 4 dealers today.. one said that it changed and it'll be $160.. two said as long as you're under the bumper to bumper it's free. One hasn't gotten back to me yet to confirm lol

My dealer said it was free if you got it within the first year as a courtesy to add the new feature. They said it was not covered by warranty... and of course I procrastinated since I currently have an iphone.

Just an update for anyone interested. I got the replacement map thumb drive from Here and still no joy. Exactly the same behavior. Plug it in, get the prompt to update, say yes, acknowledge that NAV not available during update, get the "updating" message and spinning arrows icon.... but it never progresses past 0% progress no matter how long I give it. Got to be something corrupt in my system firmware preventing the file write operation. And since the first attempt a couple weeks ago erased the OEM maps there is no map or NAV capability. I believe my system probably needs the equivalent of a factory reset that is easily done on most any device these days, but probably only doable by the dealer for these GM systems.
Not to put off anyone else from doing this, the process is extremely simple and seems to work reliably for most. Just not always....

I hope it won't come to that. They probably can do a factory reset and then reload the firmware (if necessary) then software.

Can someone check on the currency of the new nav update in regards to recent constructed streets? When I purchased my 2016 the nav database did not have my three year old neighborhood in the database. I've moved to another three year old neighborhood, and don't want to buy this year's update if my neighborhood is not in the database. The address to check is 133 Listo Street, Rancho Mission Viejo, CA 92694. The city may be listed as Ladera Ranch instead, as some nav databases have that instead of the real city.
Yes, I did write to the GM navigation update team, and they responded that they don't have the capability to check if an address is in their database. Sounds lame, but that's what they wrote!
Thanks!

THANK YOU! Now I feel better about ordering it.

Just an update on my Nav update failure problem. I took the car to the dealer today for airbag recall (yes I am very late doing this, hate going to the dealer), MSRC upgrade, Android Auto addition, and to address the Nav update failure. They were able to do the Nav update I believe after the Android Auto update which appears to have reset the head unit. They did it for no charge. But I paid plenty for that MSRC upgrade and AA update!
