He can get the Android Auto update through the dealer, but if he wants the video in motion unlock, that will have to come from MVI.

Yeah that I understood, just hoping to have Android Auto already installed so I don't have to schedule another trip back to the dealer yet again since owning my 2014. I hopefully plan on getting the unlock through MVI once my tax returns come back. Will update once I take delivery of the truck.

I know you say pricing varies, but what are we talking ball park here? Like $50, $500....etc.

 

MVI says they are flooded, and I don't want to waste their time on pricing when it can be posted up to save everyone time.

It's in the 4th post of this thread.

 

For just the unlocked video motion (dvd or usb), textra read out and reply, the Nav input while in moton and welcome/greeting tones, it's $399 for a module swap.

 

It's $349 if you want to send your own module in.

 

Although this unlock uodate is available for 2014, 2015, 2016s....ANDROID AUTO IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 2016s.

 

MVI can provide Android Auto for 2014, 2015s but it requires hardware replacement. That hardware will vary based on what you want. Contact Anthony for that specific pricing.

 

The hardware on 2014/205l15 is different. 2014/2015 have the live radio rewind feature. Something that was hardware (harddrive) driven.

 

2016s lost this rewind feature to make room for the Android Auto/Apple Carplay hardware.

 

......

 

Ok I think I covered eveything....

 

Oh....Anthony says..don't call, TEXT him.

No worries...

 

As for 2016 Anddoid Update...my dealer said he hasn't received the thumb drive yet.

 

Even though GM says it's available on March 1st, it doesn't ship out to them until March 1st. So they are expecting it some time late this week or early next.

No I never got the pic so they finally got the Android update ready

@MVI Inc,

 

Do you all have a video or instructions on removing the center console safely to remove our modules?

 

 

Thanks 2Speed.

 

My dealer hasn't gotten their thumb drive yet for the 2016 updates. As soon as I get that done at the I plan on contacting MVI to send mine in.

Sorry for the delay here guys....we have been Flooded with calls, orders and info requests. The update should be available at your dealer. IF you have a 2016 model vehicle and all you want to do is upgrade to the Android Auto WITHOUT any extra features, you should be able to set an appointment to get this done. Some dealers are not as on top of things...so you may need to wait for your particular dealer to figure things out. This WILL NOT be for the 2014-2015 models though...you have to have the upgraded hardware in your vehicle for this to work.

We do offer a couple different options to get this done...so just TEXT for info and I'll be happy to help. We will have detailed instructions on the install which comes with video links as well...it's super easy!!

Thank You Very Much 2Speed and SierraMyst for jumping in here and answering some questions!!

 

We do get very busy and I do prefer Text, simply because it helps not tie up the phones for quick answers. You are always welcome to call, I just like to forewarn everyone that you will likely get voicemail...simply because the phone does not stop ringing during business hours.

 

We were able to put together a quick demo video of what Android Auto is currently offering. Like everything else..GM will add to the user experience as they go; and those additions will be done via updates. Once you have purchased and installed the system through us...those updates can be handled with us, which should save you a ton of time and headache.

 

I will have a much better video put together by the end of the week...but this should give you an idea of what is now available.

Glad to know there are options to replace the slow factory nav with an updated processor and carplay! Buying trucks these days is almost like buying a computer, the technology is so integrated that even though yours still works, you feel behind the curve if you can't upgrade...

Will the google music stream or does it only want to play the songs on the device? Im assuming it streams since Pandora streams. And lastly, will this work for Galaxy S6 edge?

MVI is simply helping folks with 2014/2015s get Android Auto since it wasn't available direct from GM.

 

And he's providing the unlock hack for all of the 2014-2016 MY.

 

I'm going to say it's pretty impossible to test every phone because that is GM and Androids responsibility.

 

The simple fact here is that if your phone supports Android Auto, it will work in the vehicle.

 

If you can download, install and run Andriod Auto on your phone, it should work in the truck.

 

The only thing the vehicle, HMI, radio, Intellilink, Mylink, etc...does is push the Android Auto app running on your phone to the radio screen.

 

If Android Auto, per the play store, supports a particular feature of an app (like Google Music streaming) then yes it will work on your vehicle.

[mviinc]

I tested with an S5...so I'm guessing the S6 will be fine.

When you say streaming...you do confuse me slightly, because in my world Streaming means wireless...which it WILL NOT do. Have to be plugged in, but if the app is there which the video does show Pandora, Slacker, amazon Music and Google Play music.
