THANKS FOR WATCHING AND DRIVE SAFE OUT THERE!!!

[@seanbarrett9640]

Thanks. Very helpful in understanding how to integrate using Android Auto on my 2021 Equinox. I never really use it on my other car, a 2019 Impala. But will need to now to get text messages. Great video. A good mix of humor with teaching which made it entertaining to watch. You'd really upset a lot of people who have been waiting it you lit that Siera Denali on fire.

I used to use a cord with my 2018 but the new infotainment system does not seem to let me use the maps on my phone and instead wants me to have a subscription to use google on my truck. I could push the buttons on the steering wheel and say call Joe with my old stuck. now when I hit the button it says I need a subscription. Did I make a mistake buying a new truck? Also I loved the speed sensitive volume control and cant seem to find it anywhere on new truck. Seems a bummer to "upgrade" and lose some of my favorite features. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello great video 👍👍👍 However you might help with my inquiry 🧐 I bought new Tahoe 2021 LT but every time i’m in the car I have to pair my iPhone to apple CarPlay From step one… search than connect.. my question is how to connect my iPhone to my CarPlay automatically once I start the car without going thru the usual step by step every time? Thanks 😊

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Mo Sam. Your vehicle should automatically connect to your phone as soon as you turn on the car as long as your phone's Bluetooth is turned on. The only thing I can think of that might help is setting up your user profile through your vehicle. That might "force" the vehicle to remember your phone. Your vehicle isn't still in DEMO mode by ay chance is it?

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Lady wolf. I am not super familiar with that year since I wasn't trained by GM until 2019. I believe that there is a button located somewhere on your dash that looks like a car with an "i" next to it. You should be able to press that button until it displays your tire pressure.

Hello Justin. You won't be able to "update" your vehicle to add this feature. You would have to replace the radio with one that has this feature built in. There are aftermarket products that you can use to give you this function that are MUCH cheaper than replacing the whole radio

Do you have to have the wi-fi thru Onstar?

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Rick. You do not have to have On-Star at all in order for the wireless Carplay/Android Auto to work. Anyone who tells you different doesn't know better or is trying to make commission off of you. The only thing you need for this to work is a cell phone connection and a compatible radio. If you are having issues getting this to work, check with your dealership to make sure that you have the correct radio installed in your vehicle.

Good vid ! I have a question for which I've been unable to determine an answer or fix, including from my selling dealer. 2021 Colorado LT crew cab long box 4X4. MY radio, Infotainment 3 with Nav, is so faint during daylight hours it's nearly impossible to see. No problems during hours of darkness, or very low light conditions. The Nav system lights up OK no matter daylight or dark. Is there a fix for the daytime brightness? Hoping you can provide some insight on a possible solution. TIA.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Rich. I don't have access to a 2021 Colorado to experiment with, but there should be a brightness knob to the left of the steering wheel that will adjust the brightness of both your infotainment screen and center console screen. Its a small knob and the icon on it looks like a speedometer with a light bulb. That is the only thing I know of that can help with this.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Leticia. I had a similar problem in my vehicle. However, mine turned out to be the cable. I found that by using a thicker USB-C cable that it allowed the data to flow more freely. Most simple connectivity issues can be fixed if you completely remove your vehicle from your phone and your phone from your vehicle. Then restart both and reconnect from the start. If this doesn't work it could also be an update issue since your phone is so new. Try searching for the most recent updates on your vehicle infotainment screen.

I have tried removing the phone and repairing (5x). I have an iPhone 11, so it is fairly new. Have you come across this?

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello SC Tester. I have come across several people who are experiencing wireless connectivity issues. Most of the time this can be fixed by updating either your phone or your vehicle, but sometimes that is not the case. This is a new feature that GM has started adding to their vehicles, so they are still working out some kinks. If you are able to have full connectivity while using a cable to connect to the vehicle then you are most likely experiencing an update issue.

Hello Sam. Your 2021 GMC might not be compatible with the wireless function. When you press the Android Auto or the Apple Carplay button on your screen, it should prompt you to connect your phone's Bluetooth. If you do not get this prompt then your vehicle most likely does not have the specific radio needed to access this feature.

That is a very good question John. I am not 100% sure on that one since I do not have an iPod to test with. I would assume that as long as you can download the Carplay application then it would work. I know that the newer iPhones all have the Carplay functionality built in.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Jeff. The radio you need for the wireless function is the "13.4 Diagonal Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium System with Google built-in". If you are talking radio code terms, I believe this is the IOT but don't quote me on that. Since the hardware is different for this feature, I don't believe Chevrolet is able to add it solely with an update. You can buy an adapter that gives your vehicle this function.

I am not sure there is anything you can do with that one. That sounds like a systems issue that a certified mechanic will need to evaluate. You can try completely erasing your vehicle from your phone and your phone from your vehicle then start the connection process from scratch. This will fix most common issues but I don't think this will fix yours but it is worth a try.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

No sir. The Silverado didn't add the Wireless Carplay until 2021.

[@plutovulgus7710]

Is this available on the 2021 Colorado?

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Pluto. Unfortunately, the Colorado did not get this feature for the 2021 model. I expect them to introduce it on 2022's but nothing is confirmed yet.

[@jamesmuscato5799]

My 2020 Sierra Allows Bluetooth use for SiriusXM and other music functions. I have read that the wireless apple car play is part of my infotainment but would cost 100s of dollars to access. Is this true. Is there a software upgrade I can buy? Thanks Jim

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello James. The GMC Sierra did not incorporate the wireless carplay function in their vehicles until the 2021 model year. I highly doubt there will be an update that adds this since there are additional components in the radio that are required to receive such a signal. There are some items you can purchase to give you this ability that are reasonable in price. However, if you are wanting it to look stock with no extra attachments, it gets to be very costly.

[@juanpartida3550]

Great video. It gave me a few laughs😃. My 2020 malibu doesn't give me the option to pair with android auto but it did that process with Bluetooth so I can't connect android auto wirelessly. When i select the gray android auto icon in my car's screen, it prompts to plug a USB. Am I missing something?

[@gmbullfrog1004]

You are not missing anything Juan. Chevrolet has not added the wireless feature to the Malibu yet unfortunately.

[@bigjcmoney890]

Does it work on 2020 hd. I mean w/o wire

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Big jc. It will not work without a wire on a 2020. GM did not introduce this to their vehicles until the 2021 model year.

[@Angelina-ev8og]

Would this work for iPhone and I own a 2019 Chevy Malibu Lt

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Angelina. This would not work with any phone on a 2019 Malibu. You would need to buy a wireless adapter to get this feature to work with that model

That will only work if you have an AA wireless compatible vehicle. This won't work in any vehicles made before 2020 that I am aware of.

Any way to upgrade the new ior? Mine didn't come with wheel buttons, and the screen is so tiny..my kids power wheel came with a 9" touchscreen lol...also i didnt realize how unsafe it is for a work truck to not have wheel controls....Its just so unsafe, really should be illegal... Hope I can get replacement for all the 2009 chevy cobalt stuff radio/hvac/knobs they found on the shelf and threw in the base....I hate my new $50,000 2021 2500 w/t..

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello B. There isn't a cost efficient way to "upgrade" the radio to do what you want it to. The only way would be to purchase the IOS radio and have it installed (very expensive), and that still would not resolve your wheel issue. You still have a very capable truck, but it just doesn't have all the special features of the higher trim levels.

[@Localsonly420]

Went to test drive a 2021 Silverado. Wireless CarPlay kept skipping out, it would mute for a second and play again randomly. Have you experienced or hear of this issue before? Decided to not purchase the car because of this bug.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Thank you for the comment Kelly. I have heard of this being a common problem with the Wireless Carplay feature. It is a new feature added to several GM vehicles and they are still ironing out the bugs. From past conversations with people experiencing the same issue, this is typically this is fixed by updating either your phone or updating the vehicle. GM is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. I would not let that stop you from purchasing the Silverado if that is your only rebuttal. The only trucks I know that offer this feature is the 2021 Silverado, 2021 Sierra, and the 2021 F-150 all of which are experiencing similar issues.

Is there an adapter to make android autoplay wireless? I have a 2021 equinox and it is not wireless. Feels like a downgrade from my escape which was wireless

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Sarah. Thank you for your comment. I was under the impression that Ford did not offer wireless Carplay/Android Auto in any of their vehicles pre-2021. Ford introduced this feature as one of their main highlights that they released with their new SYNC-4 system that the came out with this model year. I do not believe that even the brand new Escapes have this compatibility yet. Did you have an after market add-on that gave you this function? To answer your question as far as the Equinox is concerned, Chevrolet currently does not offer wireless Carplay on the Equinox. You can still connect via Bluetooth and listen to music that way, but it won't give full Carplay functionality. Hopefully the 2022's will offer this ability. I have been told it is possible to add wireless functionality with an aftermarket adapter, but I am not super familiar with how that works.

[@chrisholloway5460]

I just bought a 2021 chevy colorado that has android auto. Unfortunately i dont think i can get it to be wireless :(

So is there a way to get Android Auto on earlier model trucks? I have a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Z71. What can be purchased and where to get Android Auto on my truck? Thank you in advance for any information you can share with me.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Del. There is an adapter that you can purchase to add android auto to your vehicle. There are few options some can get pretty expensive. I would suggest a small adapter that attaches to your dash since it is reasonable priced.

[@TheDbrewer31]

We bought a used Silverado 2016 and we are trying to use the projection. Previous owners had iPhone. We have Android. It will not get rid of iPhone and not giving us option to set it up for Android.

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Linda. I am not super familiar with the 2016 models and the projection system. There should be a spot under settings where you can manage and delete devices from the truck. You could also restore factory defaults and erase all personal settings on the truck, but I am not entirely sure.

Hey brother how do I make a phone call on my iPhone using Apple car play by pressing the talk button on the steering wheel? I press the button and it goes to Google and I don’t use google. I have a 2022 Tahoe thanks.

You should still be able to use the call button on the steering wheel. If not you can always say "hey siri" to activate your phones voice recognition.

Thank you for you video time and info Can you please tell me if i can do the wireless into my 2017 Honda Accord EXL With my Androi phone? Please let me know Thank you very much my nsme is Petter Stay safe

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello Petter. I am not an expert on the Honda Accord but I am very confident it does not have the wireless Android Auto feature. This feature first became wireless in 2017 but it was only reserved for the luxury brands such as BMW.

[@coyotelifestyle73]

I have a 2020 Colorado ZR2, im guessing no way to add the wireless capability?

Unfortunately not Coyote. I have been told you can add it with after market radio but there is nothing GM official at this point that will add wireless Carplay

[@TSweenet]

Hello. I'm hoping you can assist me.. Unfortunately my vehicle wasn't listed. But I still want to connect using my cable. It worked when I first got my 2018 Colorado now it doesn't work. The message keeps saying to "PLUG IN SUPPORTED PHONE" when it's already connected. Can you tell me what's the problem or do I need to take my vehicle in?

[@gmbullfrog1004]

Hello TeTe Luv. There are a few things you can try before taking your vehicle to a mechanic. First, try and completely delete your phone from your vehicle and delete your vehicle out of your phone. Then reset your phone and begin the connect from the beginning. If this doesn't work, check both your phone and vehicle for updates. They need to be on the same "version" in order to communicate with one another. If you are using the Android Auto/Apple Carplay applications on your phone, delete and reinstall those as well or force stop and clear cache if the app is part of your phone. The only other thing I could think of, is make sure you are using a transfer cable and not just a charge cable. This should fix any common problems that occur. If you are using a much older phone, it is possible that your phone has become "out-of-date", but if it worked before then I don't believe that is the case. I would check with your local GM dealer before buying a new phone however.

I am not sure what the problem would be. I know that the Encore GX is Amazon Alexa compatible and that you can order things off of Amazon using this feature as long as your account is set up appropriately. It would be silly in my eyes to think the actual Amazon app itself is not compatible, but I am no entirely sure on that. Just speculating.
