THANKS FOR WATCHING AND DRIVE SAFE OUT THERE!!!
You’ve got a good sense of humor, which in the game of life, will take you far. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate the comment mhs vz. I try to make my videos informative but also add some entertainment value so they are not so dull.
@@gmbullfrog1004 Bullfrob, I have a 2021 GMC Canyon and can't get the wifi version of CarPly to work. It does say I have that feature in my build sheet, but it does not work. Any ides?
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.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Great vid. Funny AF. Wish this was in my 2020
Thank you Austin. I try to make these entertaining without being offensive, but its not always easy these days. As far as your 2020, I believe there is an aftermarket adapter you can buy to make your radio wireless Carplay compatible but I don't know a whole lot about how it works
Another great video . especially for a old non tech guy.
Thank you David. I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you dude! Very helpful video and a great sense of humor lol I bought a 2024 trailblazer last September and love having wireless CarPlay on the 11 inch screen! My only complaint is very rarely it won’t connect automatically have to do it manually any idea why? Maybe a glitch or something?
This dude is a great help
"This dude" she says lol
Hello I have 2016 Tahoe...it doesn't have the android play option...I have tried to connect with USB that doesn't work either...it allows me to connect Bluetooth only for calls ..please help thanks
Usually I like videos to get the the point... but this is okay
Sounds like a compliment to me. Thanks Michael
Extra props for using a Pixel 4!!
LOL thanks Anthony. This is my first Google phone and I can say with confidence that I am not disappointed.
I just traded in my 2018 Silverado for a 2023 because it offered wireless Android auto and the big new screen. 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. Thanks
I have a 2016 GMC Yukon. Wireless Apple CarPlay doesn’t seem to be available. And for some odd reason, it’s hit or miss for when Apple CarPlay works when I use a USB cable.
Any tips/suggestions?
I wish this worked on my 21 Colorado LT
I have a 2023 gmc 3500hd. I am vonnected via bluetooth and the phone functions work fine. When i try to open android auto, it prompts me to connect via usb.
Wow if this works that’s amazing u saved me that stupid wire and a 100+ for a adapter thank you I will download n try thanks
Jdizzle. This is only going to work if your vehicle is equipped with the wireless functionality. If not then it back to the wire unfortunately.
Just bought a 2017 Chevy Equinox am I able to update the software to have Android Auto/Carplay?
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
I just bought a 2021 chevy blazer. Every time I turn the car off, it forgets all of my phone info and will not connect wirelessly again without going through all the steps again. Any suggestions?
Unfortunately when I disconnected my phone to reconnect it via Bluetooth, the whole icon disappeared until I reconnected it using the USB. So maybe this car isn't compatible with wireless :/
Did you ever found out how to fix it? They told me the car doesn’t have it and depends on the software
@@Devotedchase no unfortunately. Gave up on that awhile ago lol
@@marcdog95 ok thanks for the help!
I have a 21 trailblazer LT and it doesn't say i have that option but when i google it, it says it does...
I cannot figure out what is preventing me from Wireless Android Auto. I have the 21, chevy 1500 LT . My phone is Note 20. My truck is on the list for the wireless to work but I have to use the USB every time. Appreciate the help.
Thanks for the watch J. I would check with your dealership. There are 3 different types of radios that Chevy made for the 21 Silverado and only 1 of them has the wireless functionality.
How to do wired to wireless in Alcazar Hyunday 2022 Bose 10.2" infotainment system
I just bought a 2021 chevy colorado that has android auto. Unfortunately i dont think i can get it to be wireless :(
Very helpful - can you tell me if 2022 Colorado LT and 2018 Tahoe LT are now WIRELESS CARPLAY?
These vehicles do not have the wireless capability by default. You can purchase an adapter to give it the wireless functionality.
What about the apple car play set up?
Unfortunately, It doesn't work for my Equinox 2019.
What about using ottocast. Would that work?
funny af! love it! keep it up bud
Appreciate it Puras! I try to keep my videos light hearted and informative.
Thanks. Mine is a 2019 Buick Oncore. I think I have to use the cord. Ekes!
Yes jacqueline. The Encore's only offer corded carplay...at least for now.
Why aren't there more likes on this video!?!?!?!😅
Thanks for watching Darius. Judging by the negative comments on this video, the people who don't leave a like are looking for ways to turn the regular Android Auto into wireless instead of connecting it as the title suggests.
@GM Bullfrog I laughed all the way through it! Great job bud! If you don't have haters your not doing it right.
If the screen doesn't support wifi and android auto works wired only , how to make it wirleess ?
Can’t get my wireless Apple car play to work on my 21 Sierra elevation
New subscriber here. Just purchased a GMC Sierra SLT 1500, 2021 model. I had wireless apple car play until I disabled the wifi service (really AT&T cell data) so I had wireless CarPlay until the unlimited cell was disabled (no sense in paying for the same limitation of our iPhones. Haha. I would like to add wireless CarPlay without the outside connectivity.
Hello Brent. Thanks for the sub. You dont need to have In Vehicle WIFI to have wireless carplay. As long as your cell phone as mobile data you can use this feature. I am not sure if that answers your questions or not.
@@gmbullfrog1004 thanks. So the communication between phone and truck are Bluetooth? When I try wireless carplay, it tells me to call onstar. I will give that a go this afternoon to see if that works. Thanks again for your videos! All the best, and Happy Thanksgiving!
How do I connect my iPhone to my GMC Yukon wireless if I don’t have CarPlay
Hello ADR. You can always connect your phone via Bluetooth. If you have an older model Yukon that doesn't have that feature then you would need to buy an external adapter to get this function.
Do you have to keep pairing each time you get in the car or will it automatically pair after you initially do it?
Once you program your "primary" phone to the vehicle, it will auto connect from that point on.
I recently bought me a 2020 Blazer 2LT and I was wondering does it have a SD card slot? I couldn't find any myself, only thing I could find was upper trim models that have one in the arm rest. All I have is the two USB ports.
Any idea how to connect 2015 trailblazer with auto android wirelessly, any other devices or hardware should be added?
I have a problem ith my 2020 sierra my phone connects through the USB port and at times it won't what do you recommend me to do I've tried turning it off and on I've tried changing the cable but I have the same issue...my phone is a Samsung 22 ultra...thank you
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.
Hey GM Bullfrog, I’ve paired my iPhone 12 to my 2021 Sierra Elevation, but when I press Apple CarPlay, it says I must connect via cable.
Any ideas?
I don't know on that one Shoot PDX. The 2021 GMC Sierra should have the wireless Carplay feature. Maybe call your local GMC dealer and have them run your radio codes to see if your model has this functionality.
Mine only does wireless Apple cad play when I’m connected to the trucks wifi and it only started doing that recently any way to make it wireless only though Bluetooth??
That is strange Rafa. This feature does not require you have in-vehicle wifi. You do need some type of internet connection but this can be a cell phone connection
My work truck is a 2021 chevy Silverado. How would I set up the wireless android auto
Hello Dave. Your model of truck most likely does not support this feature. There are 3 radios offered on the 2021 Silverado and only one of them has the wireless Android Auto capability. Unless the truck was special built with this radio, you will only see this feature on the LTZ or High Country.
so you mean i can download AA in my Lenovo monitor in my car and in my mobile and i can have AA wirless?
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.
Very good video on setting up my phone. I have tried in the past when renting trucks, but never got it to work. Any other vids coming out on all the cool features. Wondering why Chevy Silverado doesn't have the start button, collision warning, on my 2018. Thanks.
Hello Dee. Thank you for the feedback. As far as the features on your Silverado, they changed some of the standard features in their 2020 revamp of the Silverado. That is where you will find these features.
@@gmbullfrog1004 ok
Hi, I have Chevy equinox 2018 model but due to technical reason its internal module is not working and sometimes it appear and sometimes not. I would like to change it can you guide from where I can find and replace. My location is UAE
Can I use it with the wire on my 2022? Some how my WiFi will disconnect when my apple or android feature is on
Hello, my 2019 Equinox won't let me connect wireless I keep getting connect USB. Could it be my phone?
Hello Eren. Your phone is fine. The Chevrolet has yet to incorporate this feature into the Equinox. They are expecting to add this to the higher tier 2022 models but no final word as of yet.
I have a 2018 Chevy Malibu LT I tried to have Android wireless but I don't believe the feature is there do you know when it might be here thank you I just subscribed today thank you so much for everything
Hello Eric. Thank you for the watch and they follow. Chevy has yet to equip the Malibu with wireless Android Auto. The only options you have for Android Auto would be to use the wire or look into buying an adapter that gives your vehicle the function.
Need this for my 2021 terrain
I know. It is a shame GM didn't add it to the Terrain for the 2021 mode year.
Can you please let me know if this works with the 2021 chevy spark? I cant get it to work
I have a 2018 Silverado. How do I connect apple car play?
The Apple Carplay set up will be virtually the same if the vehicle has this equipped. The 2018 Silverado won't have the "wireless" function since this was not added to the Silverado until 2021
You talked all about android. How does apple CarPlay work wireless?
Hello Jason. I fortunately use an Android based phone and not Apple so I wasn't able to show the Apple side of things. However the process will be virtually the same. The screen will look different once you are connected, but the steps are the exact same.
@@gmbullfrog1004 thank you for replying. However there is not a app for iOS like you did for android. The title is little confusing because it says “apple CarPlay” but that wasn’t explained. ;)
Hi, I am thinking of purchasing a 2022 GMC Canyon Denali and have a iphone 13, will I be able to use apple car play wireless? Great video by the way!
Hello Jacob. GMC has yet to introduce the wireless function into the Canyon. They have it for the full size Sierra's but not that Canyon as of yet.
How do I find elevations on the gps ? I have 2023 c8 3LT thanks David az
I wish they put it in the cruze
Unfortunately Dylan, I don't think that is going to happen. GM discontinued production on all of their cars with the exception of the Malibu, Camaro and Corvette. They are on producing SUV's and truck's for the time being at least.
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 😊
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?
I have a 2021 GMC acadia and connects right, and in a minute disconect and my screen goes all black for a minute and connect again and it happen the same thing over abd over what can I do?
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.
My 21 denali canyon is asking to plug in a phone with android app.? Is it because I didn't start my car?
Hello Frankie. You are not doing anything wrong. The Canyon does not yet support the wireless carplay function. They will most likely introduce this in later models.
I just bought a 2022 gmc sierra but android auto won't connect wirelessly. It doesn't even give me the option.
Hello Glenn. It depends on your model of Sierra. GMC has 3 different types of radios that they put into the 2022 model and only one of them has the wireless capabilities. You may want to check with your dealer to see if yours has the correct radio.
How do I get the info on 2017 Chevy Silverado to my tire inflammation. All of a sudden I don't get my tire information. My text messages don't come thru on my screen behind my steering wheel any longer as well. Thank you for the info you have shown me thus far. JC
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.
As far as you text messages go, I found this video that might help you. ua-cam.com/video/S8FXEGhnipQ/v-deo.html
I just bought a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado LT and one of the apps on the home screen. I am not sure which one it was disappeared. I use to have 8 App icons like Android Auto and Apple car play, Settings, OnStar, Phone, Audio, WiFi, thise are the ones that are currently on it but I use to have one more and i can not remember what it is. Is there a way to get that app back. The screen glitched for a min or two and the app was gone. I have not seen anything anywhere that talks about this. Also how do you add new apps/Icons to the system on the home page with the ones I listed above. I do not have a APPs icon either like I see on some of the videos or a MyChevrolet app. How do I add apps?
Do you have to have the wi-fi thru Onstar?
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.
i have a question apple car wireless can i connect gmc 1500 denali 2020 thank you
Hello Manuel. The wireless apple carplay feature was not added to the Sierra's until the 2021 model year.
Will this work on a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
I have a 2021 Chevy traverse… how do I stop my iPhone from indexing every time I plug it in for Apple car play? When it indexing I can’t change tracks with the steering wheel controls.. very frustrating. Sometimes it can take over 45 min and still not done. ( yes I have a ton of songs lol)
For my silverado 1500 LTD custom 2022? How connect my iphone
Hello Kevin. Your model of truck most likely does not support this feature. There are 3 radios offered on the 2022 Silverado and only one of them has the wireless Android Auto capability. Unless the truck was special built with this radio, you will only see this feature on the LTZ or High Country.
You paired an Android phone. I assume pairing my iPhone is just as easy. My question is can I pair my Apple iPod to Apple CarPlay in a 2021 Silverado 2500 I will be receiving soon? Thank you.
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.
I've got a 2020 Malibu and it looks like Android Auto only works with a wire Q_Q
Whats the name of the app on iphone? I have a 2020 sierra at4 will it have the wireless carplay?
The 2020 AT4 will NOT have WIRELESS Carplay but it will have the standard Carplay. You will most likely not need to download any additional apps to your phone to get this to work since Carplay is preloaded to most Apple devices.
do you have to do these steps once or every time you get in the car
Hello Rennee. You only have to do these steps once per device and after that your vehicle will remember your device and auto connect as long as blue tooth is turned on.
What app work for iPhone
Hi !! I need your help, I bouth a chevrolet cruze 2022 ltz. It is produced in Argentina, It has a My link 8'' but I cant connect in wireless mode, just works fine using usb cable. I saw in the video that your screen showed a green botton Connect a phone, my device has not that one, just says connet the usb cable. Do you think tha is posible to update the software chevrolet device or pleaseee tell me how can I do to solve!!! I enjoyed yor videos. Regards!
Hello elmatis. Thank you for watching. I am glad you liked the video. To answer your question, Chevrolet does not offer the wireless feature on the Cruze. This will be something that is added to later models. It is not something that will be able to be fixed with an update. There are adapters that you can buy that will give you this function but that is the best advice I can give you unfortunately
My media index won’t load can u help me out ?I have a blazer 21
How can I do that with my 2019 traverse?
Hello Javier. This feature was not added to the Traverse until the 2021 Model year. You can still add the wireless connectivity but you would have to install a 3rd party adapter.
Will it not work with my 2019 Silverado???
Sorry Sean. The wireless functionality will not.
C8 can do android auto wireless too? or does it has to be wired?
The 2021-2022 C8 can have wireless Android Auto. Check with your dealer to make sure it has the correct radio installed before purchasing
Question, on my 2023 Silverado with wireless car play I’m having a issue. While listening to pandora and a call comes in the player will not resume after the call has ended. Thanks for any help
Hello Kenny. I have noticed this in my personal car as well. Typically I will have to disconnect and reconnect to get it to resume. There is not a "fix" for it that I know of at this point
Hi thank you for the info it's really helpful I have 2019 camaro 2 ss model is the wireless connection possible on this model or only for 2020 and beyond I have same the same latest gm system
Hello science. It is possible but it would require a wireless adapter. GM does not offer wireless Car play on the 2019 model
I don't know why doesn't work on my chevy 2021 RST.
Hello TILE work. Your 2021 RST might not have the compatible radio to get the wireless function. There are a few different radios Chevrolet put in their trucks for the 2021 model year and only one of them has the wireless receiver.
I have a new 2022 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss LT. I have been trying to setup the wireless CarPlay without any luck. Does my vehicle not have it or is my iPhone XR to old. Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Hello Puddin67. It is possible that your Trail Boss does not has this feature. Chevy has a few different radios that they put into their vehicles and only one of them has wireless capabilities.
Can I do this to my 2019 GMC sierra slt?
Hello Jose. The 2019 model does not have the ability for WIRELESS carplay. It requires a hard wired connection.
where's the in depth functionality video you were going to post....I've got a 2021 2500 hd...nothing but problems with the android car play...the messaging only works about half the time...HELP?
Oh goodness Michael. Sorry to hear that. I have had several people message me about having issues with their wireless Apple Carplay/ Android Auto. The majority of the time it ends up being an update issue either with the vehicle or with your mobile device. I would check to see if your phone needs an update or has had a recent update that may be interfering with your connection. If your phone needs an update, go ahead and update it then disconnect your phone from your vehicle entirely. This means deleting it from your vehicle and deleting your vehicle from your phone. If you are using the Android Auto app, delete it also. Then reinstall and connect everything. That will fix most common issues.
If you are still experiencing issues, check to make sure your vehicle does not have any updates. Your vehicle should update automatically but sometimes if the update is interrupted, it will need to be manually installed. You can check for updates in your settings under the systems tab. Just scroll down until you see updates then press to check for updates. It will also tell you when your system was last updated. If you notice your problems began around the update time, then head to your local GM dealer and have them uninstall and reinstall the update.
Hope this helps!

Have a 2021 gmc 2500 is prey sure its wireless? Can’t figure it out.. only works with the cord.iPhone 12
Hello Cody. When you press the Apple Carplay button without the cord plugged in, does it ask to connect a phone?

Is it possible to add APPs to the infotainment centre. I have 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Base truck, I would like to add trailer App.
hello drone shark. the trailering app is a special feature integrated into compatible trucks and not an addable application
I have a Chevy Malibu lt 2017 does it have to be a 2021 for this to work? And I can’t find the app on my iPhone .
Hello Light! You can still use Apple Carplay but it will not be wireless. The wireless functionality didn't come until the 2021's. I have been told there is an aftermarket receiver you can add to get the function but I am not familiar with how it works.
You can still use Apple Carplay as long as you have a cable plugged into your vehicle. Depending on your version of iPhone, you may not have to download the Apple Carplay app
@@gmbullfrog1004 yeah unfortunately I have to use a cable. It’s not the biggest deal in the world, just unfortunately android is wireless and Apple is not for my year of car :( thanks for letting me know!:D
Can the 2022 gmc canyon infotainment play movies ?
Sorry to report that it cannot. That would be pretty neat though
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
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.
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.
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.
I just had my local GMC dealership here in Arizona update my 2016 GMC sierra with android auto. It only had Apple CarPlay before. Do you know offhand if I would be able to use wireless android auto or do I have to stick with the USB cable?
That's a great question r s. You will not have the wireless android auto capability. That is not something that can be added via update since it requires a different computer chip.
And what is the app to download if I have an iPhone?? Thanks
The app is called Apple Car play. Most modern apple products have this already built into them and won't require the download of an additional app
@@gmbullfrog1004 mine its not connecting with the AI box lite any suggestions?
I had Apple CarPlay for my 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD so can I add weather on CarPlay or not? Thank you
Hello Kevin. I am not super familiar with Carplay since I have an Android phone. Weather should be one that is predownloaded. if not, then you can always use the "hey Alexa: what's the weather" voice command.
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?
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 actually like using the wire…and turns out this feature actually prevents me from using the wire… only option is to stream music via WiFi or Bluetooth…
Hello Crossover. I can't speak for all vehicle brands, but you should be able to use the cable connection even if you have the wireless feature. I also prefer the wired connection since it provides a more stable connection when traveling.
@@gmbullfrog1004 I talked to them at Hyundai and they did in fact take away the ability to use usb through phone, you can use a usb thumb drive with music on it only. I’m going to get a usb to aux cable to see if that works to get around it. I don’t really expect it to tho
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
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.
Ok but Android Auto is no longer a thing... I can't even get the app to open. Please help
That is a strange situation. I would try to completely disconnect your phone from your vehicle. Have your phone "forget" your vehicle. Clear the cache from your phone, and restart your phone. Then start from scratch and reconnect everything. This will fix most common errors.
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?
You are not missing anything Juan. Chevrolet has not added the wireless feature to the Malibu yet unfortunately.
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.
Thanks for the video GM Bullfrog! I have a 2020 GMC AT4 HD. I'm researching trying to figure out why my infotainment screen is displaying 4G LTE in the lower right portion of the screen?
I'm assuming this means I can actually go wireless with my truck?
I'm also assuming that if I do go down this rabbit hole to connect wirelessly, it won't actually be any different than being hardwired, which actually has no benefit to what I'm trying to accomplish. Which is; I wait on my wife a lot as she shops, whether it be at garage sales, the grocery store, or wherever I'd like to watch UA-cam videos through my Infotainment System.
I mean seriously, can't an old man just enjoy a 70K investment while watching a Brad Paisley video?
HAHA. Thank you Donald. Your comment made me laugh. You are 100% correct. That 4G in the bottom of your infotainment screen means you are in an area capable of a 4G connection. You can connect via internet in your truck so you are not using your phone data or just use your phones internet. It will give you the same results.
I have a 2020 Silverado trail boss and have functionality connected with a cable; it disappears when I unplug the cable
Hello Mike. The Silverado did not add wireless Apple Carplay/Android Auto until the 2021 models. You will have to have the cable plugged in to use this feature for your truck.
@@gmbullfrog1004 thank you
You are most welcome Mike. Thank you for watching
@@gmbullfrog1004 perhaps you can help with this. Since I plugged in my phone for Android auto, I can no longer connect just with blue tooth....is it something I'm not doing correctly? Perhaps need to delete the phone and retry??
As long as your phone is not plugged into your truck, you should be able to connect via Bluetooth. If you are having issues with it then completely deleting out your phone from the vehicle and deleting the vehicle from your phone and reinstalling typically fixes the minor connection issues.
So only 2021 cars?
yes and not all 2021 GM's. Only select models
I bought a 2021 chev silverado custom truck. I have a samsung s10 all updated and all with the newest software. I can get android auto to work with the cord but no way wireless. So disappointed.. Looks the update on the truck radio server havnt been updated since 2014. I went into about device on the radio on the truck.
Hello Craig. It sounds like you may not have the appropriate radio. The 2021 Silverado has a few radio options for it. One of which IS compatible with the wireless function. The others are not.
@@gmbullfrog1004 I say as well. I usually dont have any luck with anything.lol
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.
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.
