Smartphone Mirroring from GM-Navigation

[Horhay7]

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anybody has successfully done the smartphone mirroring on the 2014 Sierra or Silverado 1500's that GM-navigation offers? I've been more interested in this than adding factory nav cause I prefer using google maps and everything on my phone anyway. For anybody that has done it, what goes into the installation? Price reasonable? Is it something that would need a professional install?

There is a lengthy discussion about this here with a very cheap work around. I've done the cheap version for my i-products but there is someone who paid the mega $$$ to get the custom package installed. Hope this helps...

You may have just made my year! Thank you!!

Hmm might have gotten too excited too soon. Looks like this method relies on having the component hookups. Don't think my Sierra's got that anywhere. bummer

ya thats what i just noticed too.

 

tagged for interest.

 

i thought i saw that the guy who does the factory nav upgrade also has some app for screen mirroring

There is a way to mirror your iphone but you do need to upgrade the HMI. Price is pretty reasonable. I think it is somewhere betwen @$200 and $400, I just don't remember which one it is

iPhone is the only one I have seen. But it is also the only one I have looked into or paid any mind to as I am an apple user

here's one HMI upgrade link. I know you can talk to GTPrix and he will point you in the direction you need to go in to get everything that you want out of the HMI

Hey guys,

 

This updated topic and installation testing guide (locked still in progress) is being discussed here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/175116-2015-silverado-smartphone-mirroring-guide/

What about using a USB to HDMI adapter and connected a chromecast to the center console USB port?

Can you send Google Maps to Chromecast? I've never tried. If not, you would be limited to video apps and web browsers that support Chromecast. I've not seen Chromecast do a "mirror" of phone,

Yes. You can mirror the whole phone. May order an adapter and try it out.

Thanks. I looked for that when I first go Chromecast a while back...no, now thinking about it, I was trying to mirror a Windows 7 laptop. I did not try Android phone.
