I have a 2019 yukon denali. And for 6 months I have been searching for why it won't connect to my phone. But after watching this video I went to the dealership and insisted they replace the firmware! Now it works beautifully! THANK YOU!!
Just bought a 2016 Chevy Tahoe LTZ today,, Crazy that it doesnt have android auto factory installed but does have Apple CarPlay.. Guess Im heading to the dealership Monday... Glad i found this video same day i bought vehicle...
I went to 2 dealerships today and they were clueless . One said I just don't have android Auto The other dealer hooked into apple play and it worked. Thanks to You..I will take my truck back to dealer and show them your video proof. Thanks.
Also have 2016 chevy silverado. Apple carplay works fine, android auto does not. I took it to the dealership to get the "android auto" update. They charged me $160 and it still doesn't work! Most frustrating thing ever.
SOLUTION: For me (2017 VW Golf) go to plsy store. Uninstall updates. Go to Apps on phone. Android Auto. Force stop. Storage. Delete cache. Delete data. Reboot phone. Simply restart by attaching to car. Works for me. Good luck.
They know. They just don't like doing free stuff. I promise you there is a software update as many that has seen this video has already went to update theirs. Stay on them
Thanks man this saved me my warranty is out in three months and I was trying for like an hour today to get this to work in my camaro....video was very helpful thank you
2019 Chevy Colorado here. Was having issues getting android auto to connect to my infotainment system. Turns out I was using a low quality usb I got from a portable cell phone charger.Simple fix saving me an embarassing dealership trip.
I took 16 tahoe to the dealership and one person over the phone said it cud be downloaded for 150 then i get there and they said no they couldn't...i hate the Factory Nav...
@joshuaspears2003 hello...I have called 4 different dealership and they can't or won't...one said they don't download it anymore...I was so irritatited that I didn't ask y...I'm disappointed...thanks for the info any 🙂
thank you for a great video. I have all that set up alright. However, when google maps/ waze give me directions, it only gave me the initial directions then it gets stuck at that screen. it won't read me step by step direction, or what exit to take to my destination. Why is that. Please help. Thanks a bunch.
I'm not quite sure however I believe Android auto works from your phone meaning if it needs to do an upgrade in might need to be done to work properly. Try updating you apps and give it another try
when my mom uses it, it doesn't lock her phone just says one last step unplug usb cable and put it back in and it doesn't do anything. the app just crashes and i uninstalled it and reinstalled it but it didn't make a difference.
@@joshears2003 update: i went to the dealership with my mom and when the guy that works there did it, it worked but it was very slow. but now its the next day and its doing the same crap. the app crashes !! im just to frustrated!!
So...I just shelled out $150.00 to my dealership to install android auto on my info infotainment center and it only works with everybody elses phones. My samsung galaxy 7 wont work and neither will the latest samsung phone. WTF???
Omg r u Kidding me. I have apple play and the managers worked . So i need to download Android auto. Hours and hours call after call. Wtf nobody knew this. Gm reps dealerships on and on
So i just bought a 2016 chevy suburban. My stereo system has my link on it. Everytime i connect my usb it wont show up on my screen. I dont if its my phone or if i need to update it my link system? I need help
I went to the dealer yesterday and they uploaded the new software on my 2016 silverado. Still not working. I dont see that projection icon on the screen. What a waste of money. I pay $140.
This is what FINALLY worked for me after doing all the other stuff other people did, that didnt work for me: Installed Google Play Music plugged phone in to Uconnect (2018 Ram truck) and wooahllaaa, it worked! Sounds crazy but seems "google play music" has to be on the phone for Android Auto to display on the Uconnect. Whooda thought?! I got the idea from another forum where someone said thier Android Auto stopped working and it only started working again when they uninstalled and reinstalled Google Play Music after clearing Cache didnt fix it.
@@zash008 i went to the different dealer and they said that the radio on my 2016 Silverado don't have the android auto or CarPlay as a feature. Some of the silverado's made early that year dosen't have android auto .i guess i have to change the HMI module..
Apparently it will not work in a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, I was on the phone for almost an hour with Uconnect with no luck I have a Galaxy Note 9 not sure if its the phone or the vehicle....

Smh guess I won’t have Android Auto then. I got an Android for work and would prefer using their data over mine but I’m not paying Chevy to fix would should have been working
@@joshears2003 me too, I have a 2017 and it's a heaping pile of shit!! Now it's got a rough idle, random cylinder misfire yet they cant find the problem..it surges, bucks, slips, chugs whatever the hell you want to call it, I absolutely hate this truck..this is my 2nd Silverado I bought new and I'll never buy another
@@joshears2003 I just can't get back into Ford..I had 3 f150s but they were so basic and plain, but the EcoBoost is in a class on it's own, a small v6 is putting out the power a bigger v8 is, with better gas mileage (not that I care about gas mileage) I'm definitely going to check one out before I buy my next truck though
@@joshears2003 how many exhaust manifold bolts have you replaced yet on the Ram? If none then you need to check. Bet you have some broken bolts holding on the manifold by now. First bolt to check is the passenger side, closest bolt to the firewall which also holds the heat shield on

Just called the dealership said I had to pay $160 do you know where in my warranty would it state that it's free?
All I had to do was go to setting and enable the android application.
@@RodrigoGarcia-om7hrI don't have that option Apple Play is there
I found why mine didn't connect and it was because of the cable.
Lol!! Every time you say"ok Google" my phone reacts!!
Here is you like good man 👍,very helpful, this is the only vide with really information what i found so far ... thank man ...
Thank you
Just called my official Cheverlot dealership they said there was no update for Android Auto, but then again, this dealerships service dept sucks!
Actually there's two new updates for your Android auto since this one from the video. I would go to a different dealer
My dealer told me there is not update for the camaro 2016, so im stuck with apple car
@@fusiontechrd same here so i’m just confused as to why it won’t work.
These dealerships know how to sell a car that they dont know F about.
117 bucks for just a firmware update, huh!? Nothing is free from the dealerships, eh?!

Yes. Quality of cable counts

It can be done.

This happens to me unless the backlight on my phone is on, then waze catches up. When backlight goes off it freezes again.

My 7 works
I'm sorry but I laughed hella hard when u said "it only works with everybody else's phones " bc that sounds like my luck
So I should call a Chevy dealership to see why mine isn't working or could it be the USB cable I'm using?
I'd call or visit the dealership
My problem is I changed my Car Battery.Then it stopped working .
That's strange

You have to download the android auto app
@@joshears2003 i already downloaded on my cell phone and it wont do anything. If thats what you mean by downloading it?
That's what ment. All I can say now is have a dealer look at it.
I went to the dealer yesterday and they uploaded the new software on my 2016 silverado. Still not working. I dont see that projection icon on the screen. What a waste of money. I pay $140.

What software version do you have
chevy gang hashtag gang
Can you tell me by any chance what the update is called I asked about it at my local dealership And they think I'm from a different planet
I can't. I'm sorry. They didn't tell me. All my dealer said was it had to be update to be added. And it worked.
Try going to settings and enable the android setting. Seen this in comments below.
andriod 9 doesnt work some andriod 8 dont work
Apparently it will not work in a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, I was on the phone for almost an hour with Uconnect with no luck I have a Galaxy Note 9 not sure if its the phone or the vehicle....

THANK YOU
You're welcome
You had to pay ... $117 for their fuckup ...
yea
This is ridiculous, total samsung fail. I'm switching...
You may be disappointed with the Apple play
All they need is updates. It's software lol.
Do you keep the phone plugged in
Yes. You have to remain plugged in
No youtube?
How do you watch video?
Save video to a USB drive them plug in media port in console.
