What Vehicles Can Get the Chevy Android Auto Update?
Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility came standard in 2016 Chevy models with the seven-inch MyLink infotainment system, but eight-inch models only featured Apple CarPlay. Now, most of those models may be equipped with both systems thanks to this easy upgrade.
“We are working with our dealers to make the software update as quick and easy as possible to minimize any inconvenience to our owners,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet, in a recent press release.
Models which are now eligible for the upgrade include: Chevy Impala, Chevy Volt, Chevy Camaro (and Camaro Convertible), Chevy Corvette (and Corvette Convertible), Chevy Colorado, Chevy Silverado (and Silverado HD), Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, and Chevy Malibu (but NOT Malibu Limited models). If your vehicle qualifies for the upgrade, you should be contacted with more details.
Where Can I Get the Chevy Android Auto Update?
Unfortunately, unlike the 2015 Hyundai Sonata update we’ve posted about before, individuals will not be able to add this update themselves. Instead, you must contact a qualified dealer for the update. The service will be free-of-charge and should only take 30 minutes at a qualified Chevy dealership. You can contact our Ashland Avenue service personnel at (920) 498-6666 or make an appointment online any time.
