I have the wireless plan and, really like it.

Got it mainly for my wife and daughter.  That way, they can use their Ipad.

I tell ya, I love this truck. I haven't had a new vehicle since 2003. 

I was going home today from picking up my little girl at school, and remembered that the World Series starts tonight. So, I push the mike on the screen, and ask what time the World Series Starts and boom! I had the info just like that.

This is awesome lol...

That is no joke. I traded my old  yukon xl with a  cheap head unit which I put in,  which costs 100.00 and talked to android auto with no problem over blue tooth to a much nicer newer 2019 gmc sierra and voila..... No bluetooth android auto. 

 

Hello........????       

 

With all the fancy features this infotainment system has you'd think it could at least compete with a 100 dollar unit.

For 2021...

wired AA and CP for lower trim audio and wireless AA/CP for higher trim audio units (at least the HD's; presumably the 1500's as well when the info is released)

 

The 201 SUV info doesn't (yet?) indicate if they have wired or wireless or some combo base on audio unit version

The technology is and has been there for years. Aftermarket is plentiful. GM won't do it, because they still want the income from OnStar. It's not about what the public wants, it's about getting more money from you. I love my 2020 Sierra, but if they don't get with cutting edge technology, they will be left behind. I would never buy another brand, if that were the case. I just switched from a lifetime of Ford trucks, and my 2007 F350 (aftermarket) dvd navigation system was wireless android. Such a disappointment to get in a 2020 and go so far backwards. Now they are preaching on 2021 models like they invented it.

Wired android auto was announced in 2014 by google, so it wasn't running wirelessly in 2007...

 

Wireless AA was announced at the 2018 CES...

 

 

OTOH, GM trucks have had Bt connectivity for phones for years.

Maybe "wireless" in the sense you could take/place calls over BT but if you're trying to say your 2007 had "Wireless Android" as in Android Auto, no.. no it did not.

I know this is an old topic/post, but the 2021 Chevy trucks now have wireless Android auto, and there are a few dongles/adapters being developed that can transmit wireless Android auto in the 2019-2020 Chevy & GM trucks. 

 

There's even an $800 upgrade that can tune the radio to do it without a dongle. Just FYI.

Do you have links to any of the dongles and the radio upgrade?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
