I can successfully use the phone to call via the steering wheel (blue tooth pairing) but so far Android Auto is a no go.
Looking for suggestions...

P.S. when I run android auto on my phone it simply says, "Connect to Car..." to get started.

#PIC6197: Diagnostic Aid-Phone Will Not Connect To Android Auto - (Apr 22, 2016)
Condition/Concern
A customer may state that their phone will not connect to Android Auto.
This may be caused by the latest Android update (Marshmallow 6.0) from Verizon.
With the update, the Android phone will now default to "charge only" when plugged into a USB port.
Recommendation/Instructions
When a phone is plugged into a vehicle, the correct connection type will have to be selected in order for the infotainment system and phone to be able to transfer data.
By default, the phone will be in USB charging only mode.
This means no data is going back and forth between your phone and your vehicles USB port, and the phone is able to use the connection to charge only.
When the phone is plugged in, "Transfer Files (MTP)" will need to be selected.
This will allow the transfer of data to and from the phone allowing Android Auto to function.
Make sure the customer is parked and in a safe location prior to assisting.
1. Have the customer connect their device to the vehicle’s USB port.
2. On the device, swipe down to from the top of the screen to display the Notification Panel (the list may automatically be displayed on some devices when plugged in via USB)
3. Select the “Connected for Charging” notification.

The customer may need to perform these again to get the desired feature to work.
Assure them that this is not an issue with their vehicle’s radio. Verizon and Google are working on a solution.
