Seems that I recall that the 2014 C7 was not Android Auto capable and that the 2015 C7 didn't come with Android Auto capability but could be upgraded by the dealer for about $1,000. I believe 2016 and later came standard with Android Auto.
Contact Mr. Anthony Brush @ mvi.com and he will set your '15 up with Android Auto/Car Play with what you need on your '15. He was the only vendor that could get my '15 with the PDR to work.
My '16 does not have AA. See attached Service Bulletin 16-NA-042 for info on the software update. I was quoted ~$150 to apply it.
You are correct, not all "16s are equal. Only, a certain VIN Number and later were able to upgrade, according to my Dealership (who new about the Magnetic Ride Update and Triple Tranny Flush).
They found out mine was available for the upgrade. It works on the Infotainment Sreen, but, does not work on the HUD.

Dealers won't upgrade a 14 or 15.
You would have t go with MVI or, like I did, WAMS to get the necessary parts to add ACP/AA to a 15.
I used WAMS because it was over $200 cheaper and it worked flawlessly. $865 all in.
