android auto

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...

don't you guys have issues with cord being used so much, either my phone jack or tip of cords wear out and don't work after awhile, connection gets really sloppy...…..and if you have onstar does connection get better reception......my nav thru phone loses connection and constanly has to reroute

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.

Really?  What $100 head unit does AA over bluetooth?

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.

[Governor Matthew]

Yes. I am saying EXACTLY that. I used WIRELESS android auto. It transmitted thru wifi on the truck, not bt.

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?
