Android Auto update for headunit ?
Hey guys!
I've looked everywhere for a solution but couldn't find any.. Do y'all know if there's a way to update the firmware of my headunit to get Android Auto ? I don't have any Chevy stealership and the people that are supposedly some type of GM representative where I live never heard of that request before Is there a tool that exist to program or flash the module ? Kinda like Forscan for Ford..? I have Forscan for my Mustang and it works flawlessly for all the modules. Thanks! |

AA should be included in your 2016 Camaro?

He's in Europe and may have the EU/Asia export trim that's on a different software schedule. Nevertheless, an update should be available for those cars as well, the problem is how to get to a competent dealership that can apply it. Just a shot in the dark, but maybe an Opel dealership in Germany would be able to perform this?

Hi Taco-Giz!

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!!, Eos |

Well, according to the cnet article it's gonna be complicated since there's no Chevy dealer in the country I was hoping that I could upgrade it myself . I might start looking into reverse engineering it whenever I'll have some more free time. Quote:
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). Quote:
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! |

I have a 2017 EU model. It has Android Auto and Apple Carplay.
As far as I know, all Gen 6 Camaros had both systems from start of production. |

early 2016's with the 8" screen did not come with android auto support. a software update was needed.
this cannot be done diy. it requires some nonsense gm software and update process. there is an alternative if available still from gen5diy.. you can get a new hmi unit with aa and all that installed. then you just swap that module in and you are good to go |
