Wireless Android Auto

[Rogue Leader]

Did a search through the forum but couldn't find this.  Maybe I have misunderstood Chevy's documentation on the features or I'm just an idiot, but I assumed my truck has Wireless Android Auto, yet I can't seem to get it to work.

 

Background, I have a new (to me) 2022 Silverado 2500HD Custom, with the Custom Value Package, 5th Wheel package, and Safety Confidence Package.  Window sticker only mentions "wired Android Auto" which works.  But then I had been reading that trucks with the 7" screen can work wirelessly.  I tried the procedures in the manual, and theres no wireless AA.  Only offers AA when its plugged in.

 

I'm assuming i read something incorrectly, and wireless is not available on my truck.

My 2020 SLT HD. Was hard wire only I found a wireless android auto adapter on amazon works great.

I thought wireless android auto started in 2024 for the HD trucks

My '21 has wireless. I recall reading that '21 was the first year that wireless was implemented, but on select trims or with one of the tech packages; presumably the one that includes the larger infotainment screen.

Is yours an LT LTZ?  Mine is a Custom, looking back art the order guide I must have misread, I have the 7 inch screen and it seems the 8 inch is required for Wireless....

I have tried 2 different wireless adapters from Amazon (I too have a 22 Custom model), and neither one worked.  I called customer support with both of them, nothing worked.  If you find the holy grail of adapters that actually work please let us all know.

Will do, I will likely order one soon.  I do have one in my Alfa Romeo from OTOTO but it doesn't seem to be available on Amazon anymore, it works great.  That said I would probably try something like this

Because of the fact I only have the USB port in the dash so I'd rather not have a wired device hanging off it

I just looked back on my past orders on Amazon and believe it or not I tried that one.  Didn't work for me.  It says no longer available but it didn't work on my truck.  Another reason I gave up on this is because my phone won't be charging using a wireless adapter.  I'm sure the higher model trucks have wireless charging and connectivity but unfortunately my much loved Custom model does not.
