As of mid April there is a free software update for the 8 inch mylink radios. This free radio update will allow for android auto to work with all androids. Get it while you can because who knows how long it will be free.
i have an android and 2017 cruze. and honestly it's annoyingly difficult cos of how i have my music set up and i've been thinking of switching to iphone for a little while anyway. good video! :D
I've been all over my dealership because my carplay screen is completely different then all the videos I've seen. all I want to know is if my software is up to date. When I ask I just get a blank look lol. My map is always freezing also get PROCESSING......and have to start all over just trying to get maps or Pandora.
Does anyone else have the issue of plugging in their phone to use CarPlay but the screen stays frozen on the Chevrolet MyLink screen? This seems to happen randomly. I’ve been looking for a solution since I bought the car in May and I can’t find anything.
I just bought a 2017 chevy Cruze. Is there anyway you can play videos from your phone and they will play on the monitor of the car? Either through RU-vid or videos in my photo album for instance
+High Life Media If this is even possible it's only while car is in park. Seen some have options if it's loaded on a USB but may also work with your phone but again only if it's not moving.
To be completely honest I haven't driven this new generation Cruze. We own a 2011 LTZ and it does well, better than most in the class, but not blazing fast. The newly tuned engine should do better though!
If your home screen does not have "Android Auto" or "Apple CarPlay" or "Projection" - you are out of luck. TRIPLE CHECK TO SEE IF THE CHEVY MYLINK SCREEN HAS THESE APPS! Some models don't have these Chevy Mylink features. I found out the hard way. I just purchased a Chevy Equinox 2017 and I can't use my Samsung Note 5 or Iphone 7 Plus for phone features like Pandora, Amazon Music etc. etc. . I was able to use an Iphone 6 plus using the USB plug. At least I have that for Pandora, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Amazon Music. The car could only make phone calls using Bluetooth. Oh and we were able to use the iPhone 7 plus using the AUX cord. The dealer is unable to "update" the stereo to add these Apps.
Yes this is correct. Some models dont have this capability especially before the 2018 model year as the Equinox got updated for an all new model. Everything now from my knowledge has these features for the 2018 model year.
I Am Hoping You Can Help Me. I Recently Purchased a Previously Owned 2016 Chevy Cruze And Mine Has The USB Part Inside The Arm Rest Thingy. When I Plug It In, It Instantly Goes To My Phone’s Downloaded Music. I’ve Tried New Cords, Other Vlogs And I Can’t Seem To Access Carplay. Can You Please Help?
Do you have this body style or the old body style? The 2016 Cruze "Limited" does not have Carplay. If you have this body style then I am not sure what might be the problem.
Justin Kelly - Thank You So Much For Replying. I Deeply Appreciate It. I Now Know That The Salesperson Lied To Me And I Guess I’m Out Of Luck Because I Do Have The Limited. Had I Known That The Limited Doesn’t Have It, I Definitely Would NOT Have Purchased It. SMH 🙁
@@JustinKelly Very helpful year-old comment, this is how I just realized the 2016 Cruze Limited I was thinking of buying (didn't pay attention to the limited part) is just the 2015 model, not the new generation. Would have been a pretty bad mistake.
Also important to note that the maps app he used was apple maps, not google maps. They have different icons and look different inside the app. Google maps will indeed work on Apple CarPlay though 👍🏻
Google maps on android devices and apple maps on iphone. Since very second counts with youtube video length we decided to specify just one instead of the extra time to clarify both.
Hi I just got the 2016 Chevy Cruise Limited LT an I didn't want the touchscreen an mine so I made sure it don't come with it... So could I still do the CarPlay ?
Google Maps for android Apple Maps for Iphone. Since even iphone users aren't familiar with the term apple maps we decided to go with google maps to avoid confusion. Since it was one video explaining both devices.
Wow thats crazy. Insane stuff. Im dennis gibson. In hold the applase. I was just saying i dont want a car that has a screen n i still need to use my phone. Totaly insane. SOLD I going from a 97 chevy 2500k work truck. That i no inside out to power everything. Wow. Dont rilly care about leather or moon roof. Or thos crazy driveing aid stuff that super cool. Wwwwoooowwwww!!!!!!!!!!!
2016 had two variants, the 2016 limited which was the OLD Cruze and the 2016 which is the new generation (Same as 2017). Changes for 2017 are incredible small I would think so everything in this video should apply!
Should! Unless they changed packages around but this would still be standard. Sometimes you can compare 2016 and 2017 models on Chevy's website for a little while before 2016 gets removed.
