I might start looking into reverse engineering it whenever I'll have some more free time.

Just a shot in the dark, but maybe an Opel dealership in Germany would be able to perform this?

I'm in the EU but my Camaro is a US model. I used to live in the US before and I recently moved to the EU.



There's a few Opel dealerships around here but I doubt that they would be able to help. I'll give it a shot though. Thanks !



I went to check a specialist that's "supposedly" GM approved and they never heard of that requested before either. They started to ask me about my VIN etc.. with some odd questions but I gave up on them. (They don't have a good reputation around here).

Your 2016 Camaro screen should simply act as a projection display for the main Android Auto (and Apple CarPlay, too) when you connect it to your car via the USB port located inside the center console armrest. All updates to Android Auto are made on the smartphone itself, not on the car.

What you could really check is: IS YOUR ANDROID AUTO turned to ON? Go inside the options menu and look for Android Auto and/or Apple CarPlay and check if the option is currently active. If it's not, the car will not start projecting the phone screen.

See you!!,

Hey bud! So my 2016 does have the projection display but whatever android device or usb cable I use it doesn't recognize anything. (I tried 3 different Android phones and 5 type-c cables lol)



However, when I connect an iPhone the projection display changes to Apple CarPlay.


I checked in the settings menu and I can only see CarPlay but no Android Auto.





Thanks y'all for your time!
