YES - 2016 Camaro will get either Android auto and Apple Carplay
http://www.autoblog.com/2015/05/27/a...lay-chevrolet/
For Chevrolet, the systems will be available on select 2016 iterations of the Cruze, Camaro, Volt, Spark and Malibu as early as this summer. They're available on all trim levels, but they only work with the company's MyLink infotainment package installed in the cars, and the first to hit showrooms will only work on the seven-inch touchscreen models. UPDATED: It wasn't clear to me at first but Chevy will MyLink will work with BOTH Android and Apple. You don't have to pick one over the other. http://www.computerworld.com/article...-vehicles.html Either application is simple to use in a compatible 2016 Chevrolet vehicle, GM said. A "Projection" icon on the MyLink screen is visible when a phone is not connected, then changes to indicate either CarPlay or Android Auto (whichever is applicable) when a compatible phone is connected via USB. Android Auto requires a phone running the Android Lollipop 5.0 operating system or above, while Apple CarPlay requires an iPhone 5 or later. Last edited by ssnowdy; 05-28-2015 at 02:38 PM. |

According to Jalopnik, there are two systems - a 7" and 8", and Camaro will get both. That's good news if true that the base system will still have a 7" screen.
Interesting though that the 7" works fine with Android but the 8" is having issues. Hopefully they get the issues with the 8" and Android figured out soon enough. http://jalopnik.com/chevrolet-offeri...pla-1707244659 Quote:

Thank God. They are finally surrendering to phone SW developers. Yes, just give me a screen with big icons to project from whatever phone I want. This is excellent news for consumers.
...now if we can just uncouple GM from Bose, all will be well in the world. |

Just get on youtube and watch some vids. Andriod Auto and Carplay's operating system looks the same in whatever headunit its being used on. For instance Im using a pioneer nex head unit with Carplay in my 2000 SS, when I plug my iphone into the 2016 Camaro Carplay will look exactly the same. Same with Android.
