I have a 2015.5 with Factory nav. Anybody know of a company that offers an Android auto / car play update?

If you haven't contacted Chris (whiteautoandmedia.com) of WAMS, Anthony Brush of MVI (www.gm-navigation.com) can set you up as well as they are a vendor on here.  There is certain programming that Chris does for MVI.  Chris is very knowledgeable but WAMS hours are only over the weekend and MVI is open during the week.  I've been pleased with WAMS as they are currently working on something for me.  I've also purchased a few things from MVI and have been very pleased with their knowledge and customer service.  You can't go wrong with either.

Not to hijack but I have AA question. I have a 2016 and it has all the settings to turn on android auto and I have the app on my phone, problem is I never see the icon (little steering wheel) on the truck screen to allow AA to start up. Its like its there but needs an update???or is there something I a doing wrong. I have the USB connected to the port in the lower dash as the instructions tell you.

What happens when you press the 'projection' button on the radio home screen?   (press home button on radio front then press 'projection' icon on screen)

 

Did you try another cable?

Some of the earlier '16s had everything but the actual software in the radio. I had to take mine to the dealer about a month after i got it, and have them put it on (free). Case of radio ready, but not the software.

Good point. 

Programming was released and available to update early production from about Mar 2016. 

 

And on some of the last built '16s it was not available on some trucks.  Those trucks received a 'credit' on the invoice and have an rpo code indicating that. 

 

CPO    Credit, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto not available
1 - Required and only available with (IO5) Radio for orders created or produced beginning approximately mid-May and forward. The exact duration of this substitution is yet to be determined.

 

If the truck has CPO on the code label in the glovebox it will be necessary to get with MVI or other aftermarket and change the hardware in the truck.

Ok, switched the cable and found the projection icon. Pressed it and now there is a AA icon. Pressed that and now it works. thanks again guys for the info. Saw that WAZE was on of the apps that I could choose to use as navigation but after choosing destination it would not update. Bummer as I like that one because of all the warnings it supplies from other drivers. Google worked flawlessly.

I got my first map update back in August and it did not install. I had to have them send another and that did not install. The HERE company knows nothing about the product all they are is a store-front for GM. I was referred to GM by HERE. So I called GM and after what seemed hopeful I found myself connected to a person at the HERE company. So it is just a big circle jerk if you have problems. Nobody at GM and Nobody at the Here company can help. I have now a truck with no gps, weather or map because the map update software corrupted the infotainment system. NEVER buy a map update from GM because they will NOT take any responsibility if things go wrong. I have had the truck at the dealer and spent 145.00 on labor trying to fix this but no luck.

There's a guy on Ebay, OemCarAudio, that repairs GM Navigation radios.  Tell him your tale of woe, I reckon he has a solution for it.
