Thank you for your video. It’s very informative. I have a 2011 terrain with the monitors in the headrest I’ve tried to contact the dealership to see how to work them I’ve followed the directions but no luck do you have any suggestions on how I can get it working
i have the same truck, but i have no store app. i cant find help on it anywhere. also when i connect my USB the android auto doesnt register to my phone.
Thanks for the info. Does Anroid phone have to be plugged in to call out.. handsfree? I can get incoming phone calls when not plugged in but cant call out. Thank you
It's not a GMC thing there's not enough bandwidth in a Bluetooth connection to do Android auto wirelessly, it's the same with every manufacturer. You can stream music and phone calls wirelessly but all the additional information such as mapping, Pandora etc all require the bandwidth of a wired connection. as somebody else mentioned that may be changing with Android version 11 and Android auto 5.8 however it won't be backwards compatible because the Bluetooth chipset in the GMCs is not capable of the latest Bluetooth spec.
Hi, Thanks for the video, I just got an update to my Yukon and my phone will connect to Android Auto and play Pandora but with google maps it keep saying GPS not found and the map will go crazy turning around and not knowing what to do, have you encountered such a thing and how to fix it?
Not to mention that the GM graphics are far behind Ford and Chrysler. I always get disappointed when I see the screen on my Yukon compared to my friend's F-450.
@@madman11331122 I believe that wireless connection is available with Android 11 on your phone. I could be wrong but I don't believe this is a GMC issue.
Two things. You do not need to pair Bluetooth if you are hooking up Android Auto via USB Cable plays a big role in Android auto working.. it you can't get to work, try another cable. Those cheap convenient store/Walmart cables aren't going to work
thank u for that advice. i have a 2019 chevy camaro the car don't have gps n i been trying everything and it won't work. i'm going try that maybe that will work for me. i do have the app install . maybe that's the way i have to do it. thanks for that tutorial. i hope it works. have a nice day. be safe
Sir, can we still manage the volume directly from phone once we connected it to the vehicle radio or can we only do it directly thru the vehicle volume not n the phone anymore?
Concerning the apps whose icons are on your phone, 1. how is the car determining which to show on the car display? 2. How do I change those icons to the ones I want to display? 3. Can I display apps like TH-cam, Tik Tok, phots etc? Does the car being in motion have anything to do with my request, and if so explain.
Can I use my Sirius , mostly music, on android auto? The plan I have is only in my car no streaming. Do I have to be out of Android Auto to use the Sirius ? I need the AA for navigation.
Thank you for a very good explanation. It was on point . I can connect the phone but not Android Auto. Tried two USB’s. It keeps returning to the enter pin code page . I guess it’s back to the dealer?
There is no AA on my 2016 1500 silverado. Just apple. What is wrong with this system. I can't get samsung to work... got an LG to work but that's not my phone
Will this work on a Chevy Colorado Lt, I bought the pickup from a buyer/owner. I have a Samsung s20. Needs maps and media..listening to audio books from my phone.
Do you run into issues using the android auto for directions if you are in an area without a signal? In my current vehicle the nav system works when I am in cell dead spots. Trying to compare as I look to purchase a new vehicle. Thanks in advance
I have never had an issue using Google Maps on my cell phone, even when there was no cell service in the area, so I'm assuming it will be the same using Android Auto, since you are just connecting using your phone.

@@j.morrison73 Lol! If you connected without a cord, it was probably via Bluetooth. In which case, it is always wireless.

Also make sure you don't have any music or anything playing. If that doesn't work, It may be a problem with the mic in your truck (usually located right above the driver seat)

My Android phone is paired to my 2016 Chevy 2500 P/U. When using the phone for a GPS I can't hear the directions from the phone. How do I set it up for hands free operation?
You should only have to press the Media button until it gets to your phone. It may be the AUX position or the phone for the GPX to come through the speaker system. Press the Media button to cycle through the "sources" to get to the one you need.
Just bought a 2016 Suburban. My Android phone is blue tooth synched, but tried to do the Android Auto with USB cable, even tried the projection button no good. I have Android ver 11, and the internet says all I need is ver8 for it to work. What's happening?
How do I switch the audio source back to use Android Auto after using the car's native "RADIO"? Android Auto thinks it is playing sound but the car ignores it in favor of "RADIO". I tried pressing "MEDIA" but it won't switch. Looks like the "MEDIA" screen is only for external bluetooth sound and not the sound that comes out of Android Auto.
@@Smailbuickgmc Did that lots of times. It fixed itself on its own the next day. I tried rebooting my phone, force quitting Android auto, turning the car on and off, nothing.

If you think it's your cord, your best bet is to try an actual Samsung branded charger. This video is specific to GMC, perhaps take it in to your local Chevy dealer
If you're sure your vehicle has Android Auto integration, and that you have a compatible smartphone, your best bet is probably to take it into your local dealer
When you connect your smartphone via Android Auto, whatever you use for navigation on your phone (Google Maps, Waze, etc.) will display on your vehicle screen
Thank you, but why not just offer the GPS Nav system that's currently available in the Denali? You can buy all the pieces separately for about 1 grand and install it yourself, not cheap - but no data plan required. If they made it a dealership installed option even at $500 it might be worth it, not so sure about a 1k user installed system.
@@suzuki06g Oh yes, built-in vehicle Navigation is also an option. We're sorry, we thought you were specifically referring to using Android Auto. On a side note, with GPS on a smartphone, you can set your destination while on WiFi, and then it will continue to run even without data.
Thanks again (really!), but here's the problem - if you buy a vehicle off the lot that doesn't have GPS Nav - your screwed because it can't be added (or 2 dealerships are lying to me). Beyond that, to get in vehicle WiFi I need OnStar... which will exceed the cost of a new Garmin GPS every year. Sure OnStar has other uses, but none of which anyone really needs and in my case even want. Really not trying to be difficult here and I totally appreciate your answering my questions. But ultimately all I want is to do is add GPS Nav to a vehicle that didn't come with it ('19 Acadia SLE-2), so why can't a dealership install it?
Ok, just caught your response - and thank you for the response! Please explain how true GPS Navigation is an option because my dealership knows nothing about it. The only thing they can offer is that I should have bought the Denali package which comes with GPS, not OnStar and not smartphone - but true GPS is what I would like. Bought my '19 Acadia SLE-2 off the lot and the only thing offered is through On-Star (which I do not want) mostly because I could buy a new Garmin for less every year verses the cost of On-Star.
Seems a lot easier to just pop a mag mount on the dash and just use the phone instead of going through al that for a way less useful display. Love my GMC, but I wish I could NOT pay for sub par navigation and info-bs... Rather get another thousand or so off the price and use my phone for everything.... NONE of the vehicle GPS systems impress me and live by GPS every day. A separate Garmin is still light years better.
The whole point of Android Auto is to use your phone's interface such as GPS and display it on the screen. so that "sub par navigation" would be google maps which is generally quite good. And in many states, that mag mount with your phone is not legal because it's accessing data.
That's how they get you, they say blue tooth equipped then they tell you you can't make a call unless you use your phone, what a joke, gmc went cheap even on this

What good is this if the screen on your "smartphone" is not exactly emulated on the dashboard screen and why the cable ?? It should be done wirelessly with wi-fi. My 2018 Chevy truck supposedly has wi-fi and LTE. Why do they not connect using wireless. Yes, I know it does bluetooth that way but it is severely limited in the content. In this day and age it should connect completely seamlessly right when you approach or when you enter your vehicle without all that cable connect crap. Way behind people !

My 2014 gmc intellilink DOES NOT pair with samsung!!!
I just tried this before reading the comments and i am pissed. How do they have this and only make it compatible to 2016 and up?!
@@ivylow5515 you have to get the app,called "Android Auto" on your phone, then it will pair.
@@petersrightbut8297 i did. I installed it and all. My phone kept telling me that the car could not get my data and i needed to get some other stuff
@@petersrightbut8297 what do you think i can do? When i looked into compatibility. The software is compatible for 2016 and up
@@ivylow5515 sounds like you need to buy and use a auxiliary cord.
Once you paired your phone via bluetooth. What is the point of android auto?
Android Auto displays some of your actual apps on the vehicle screen - like Spotify and Google Maps. Bluetooth just connects audio.
@@Smailbuickgmc Thank you. I'm gonna go in a dealership, hopefully 2 get a hand's on tutorial.
What good is this if the screen on your "smartphone" is not exactly emulated on the dashboard screen and why the cable ?? It should be done wirelessly with wi-fi. My 2018 Chevy truck supposedly has wi-fi and LTE. Why do they not connect using wireless. Yes, I know it does bluetooth that way but it is severely limited in the content. In this day and age it should connect completely seamlessly right when you approach or when you enter your vehicle without all that cable connect crap. Way behind people !
it didnt work with 2016 Yukon
Mines either
Why do I have to keep connecting my phone everytime I get back into my car. 2019 Chevy Colorado
