Just remove unit from behind glove box and ship it to them. Think you need a 7mm nut driver and the wait took about 8 days for me in Florida.

Can this one mirror the screen on the phone? I did some research on these a few weeks ago and found one that streams the exact phone image, which would allow the display of Google maps as well as email, youtube etc...

I've got an aftermarket pioneer receiver in my Subaru and it will allow most all apps to be displayed and used on the screen in dash with their app radio stuff. I have used google maps, iTunes, pandora, escort radar live, and waze on it without a hitch. It utilizes a cord of some type, so the phone must be plugged in for it to work. Really hoping something like this can be done in our trucks as well!

I'm sorry, I live in LA and drive a lot of places, but I just don't see $600 in utility to have my phone mirrored on the truck screen. I don't use NAV more than maybe once a month. I don't text in my truck. I don't need to read text messages in my truck. I don't need to use my phone to start my truck, since my remote works fine. I'd rather have a new high grade stock for one of my shotguns than any of this stuff.

I've had a deck that allowed me to mirror and used arunchained on my android phone. The novelty was cool, but it was really not needed and grew old. Not worth all the time and money I invested into it. So long as I can play anything on the deck off of my media devices I'm fine with that.

The CUE/Intellilink systems are based off the same core programming that Apple uses. Don't hold me to this but i think it's Linux based. Working for a dealer I can tell you there are far more issues with Android phones and functionality than there are Apple products. However, I do know that in order to get "full" functionality with an Apple product they tell you it should be connected to the vehicle via usb. I've played around with my system quite a bit and found that to be true. I still run into issues at times and just like a computer a simple reboot or restart of the system and try again usually gets things working again. It's not perfect but it's way better than some other car manufacturers systems.

I was just at my dealership the other day and asked for a MyLink update. They told me none is available, and they don't get a lot of people asking.

I've found that there is a delay switching tracks and XM channels with the steering wheel. Using the touchscreen/radio buttons seem to be faster.

I've long wondered why I can't add a source (My iPod, an SD card, etc.) as a favorite on the bottom. You can only favorite songs (who really does that?) and albums. If I want to pan quickly between an XM channel and what I was listening to on my iPod, I have to keep hitting the media button over and over again. Seems a stupid oversight.

The XM weather map is pretty useless if I can't zoom in any closer than the entirety of New England.

Lucky for me I'm a software engineer with embedded skills and I could probably crack the module open and tinker with all this stuff myself. I just haven't desired to rip apart my new truck just yet.

Oh, and they did have a page for doing MyLink updates via USB. I think it was for the Malibu or Cruze, and they pulled that page down. Also stories are indicating that the GM App Store is having "issues" and this makes me seriously doubt we'll ever see it hit the light of day. If it does, it'll be years from now and conveniently won't support our vehicles. Roped in on a promise and then realizing it's a lie. Thanks GM!

That would be something if apps could be made available not through GM... Just look at how Android has changed computing... When the iPhone was new, androids were more or less a joke as competition. Open source turned them into what it is today!

Well, there a bunch of viruses for Android but it is open source....

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
