CARS.COM — General Motors is making good on its promise to make Android Auto available in 2016 models, a commitment it announced earlier this year. At the start of the 2016 model year, you could get the Android Auto or Apple CarPlay smartphone integration in Chevrolet vehicles, for example, with the 7-inch MyLink multimedia system, but upgrading to an 8-inch MyLink screen meant only Apple CarPlay was available.

According to Chevrolet spokesperson Monte Doran, Chevy is now shipping cars that offer both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities with the 8-inch screen. Cars are rolling into dealerships right now and Chevy also is offering a software upgrade through dealers to update early ’16 models that don’t have Android Auto. Simply schedule an appointment with your local dealer’s service department, and take the car in for the software flash. More information about the update can be found here.
