Andriod Auto radio for 2014 GMC Sierra Denali w/ Rear entertainment system

[boozemonkey]

Hey All, I'm just trying to find a radio out there with android auto that allows me to keep using my rear entertainment system and my factory USB ports. Does anyone have any suggestions? I haven't found a single one.

What do you want to retain with the factory USB ports? My USB ports run off my Android style headunit, but they charge only (I think), I had to add some generic USB A to Mini adapters.

 

Not sure about the RSE system, but I also think the Android Headunit has a RCA video out that could potentially be used to feed the RSE screen. I don't know what it would display.

 

Generally, the Android headunit for me has worked best in Carplay mode, where I never interact with any of the "launcher" apps or functions. A buddy of mine also seems to use Android Auto interfacing with his phone similar to how I am using mine.

Talk to Chris (he frequents these forums).  He can set you up with a plug-n-play upgrade that is all GM OEM parts:
