My Dealership, which was very knowledgeable about the Magnetic Ride Upgrade and the Triple Tranny Flush back in 2020, told me to bring my 2016 into Service to determine if Android Auto could be downloaded. Early model 2016 might not be able to download it.
Fortunately, mine could. Jonathan, my Service Writer, told me they downloaded it directly from GM. He is at Simi Valley Chevrolet, in California. He may be able to give you some information. The two people i know that had it successfully downloaded did it at the Dealership.

Dealers get the software through the GM system that downloads it and the uploads it to the car modules via a tech tool that attaches to the OBD2 port.
I suggest you call Mr. Anthony Brush @ MVI.com to get his opinion. Perhaps he can do a trade-in to deflect some of the cost. Any new HMI module has to be programed to you VIN.
