If you don't have Android Auto installed. It will prompt you to install when first use. 

 

If you have 3rd party Android Auto app installed that are not approved by Google for Android Auto, it will not connect. 

 

Try with a data usb cable and not just a power only cable.

Doesn't the Android phones need an app for Android Auto? I am thinking its not plug n play like Carplay

I have Android Auto app. Works great on my Harley motorcycle and in the Sante Fe. Just not in my truck.

I don't know if you have a USB port in your glove box, if I recall correctly that port also works with android auto. 

I've tried both ports below the radio and both ports under the armrest.

Have a 2016 Silverado LTZ. Have the projection tab on the radio. Plug in my Android phone and hit accept on the phone but nothing happens on the truck radio. What to do to get it to work?

There is a strong possibility that it needs a software update that can only be done by a GM dealer. I know when I bought my 2016 LT back in May of 2016, I couldn't get Android Auto to work on mine. My truck was built in Dec 2015. It took the dealer a couple hours to do the update as they ran into some issues but they got it done and it didn't cost anything to do. I have heard that if you want it done now though, they may charge a fee but not sure how much.

 

ETA: I just found this service bulletin that confirms that if update was not already done  there will be a charge to perform.

I laugh every time people says ONLY the "dealer" or "site sponsor ", they the only one that can do it...  is this forum run by GM Customer Advisor? Sometimes I wonders....

 

Dealer will quote anywhere from $120 to $190 just to update/reprogram your HMI (I know because I called and got different quote before). Some dealer will charge a $90 (around the price) diagnostic fee even though all you need is an update. 

 

Get an obd2 with pass thru, there are cheap one around $120, get AC Delco SPS service for $40 and you gain access for 2 years. For $160, you can reprogram any modules on your truck, plus you now have an OBD scanner. 

 

Edit: please note, if your truck is under warranty.  Let the dealer take care. If it's out of warranty then do it yourself.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
