AA update outside of dealer?

SilverHokie · 05-20-2020, 02:42 PM

Hi,

Before I post my question yes I did search before asking.

Just brought home my 2016 2SS. The radio settings have Apple but not Android, so I assume she never got the Android update. Since we are well past the "free" upgrade and I don't want to bring the car to a dealer just yet, two questions:

1. Are there ways to install the software myself or trigger an OTA?
2. Could the software be there but I have to work some magic to get the android option to show in the menu?

For the record, when I plug my android into my wife's Subaru, Android Auto comes up every time.

I was able to bluetooth connect my phone: text and music streamed well. Plugging into the USB got power to my phone. The charging pad did nothing but I read where it doesn't work well with newer phones.

Anyway, thanks and if there is a thread on this please point me there and call me the newb that I am (to 6th gens anyway).

I'm here as I am thinking about a newer convertible and I know from experience most of the Camaro forum members are helpful and understanding.... right?!?)
