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?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
