Android Auto Now Available with MyLink Software Update

DURAND, Mich.––If you have an Android phone and want the ability to use it with your 2016 Chevrolet, you can! Android Auto is now available with MyLink software update and can be done only at Chevrolet dealers. See below for a list of qualifying vehicles.

The MyLink software update should take about 30 minutes per vehicle. This update can be received at Chevrolet dealers for no charge if your vehicle is compatible. Your Android phone must also be running Lollipop 5.0 for compatibility. Vehicles qualifying for the update will have an 8-inch MyLink infotainment system, and include the following:

2016 Chevrolet Malibu (excluding Limiteds)
2016 Chevrolet Impala
2016 Chevrolet Camaro (both convertible and non-convertible)
2016 Chevrolet Corvette (both convertible and non-convertible)
2016 Chevrolet Volt
2016 Chevrolet Colorado
2016 Chevrolet Silverad (including HDs)
2016 Chevrolet Tahoe
2016 Chevrolet Suburban

Chevrolet models with 7-inch MyLink Infotainment systems should already have Android Auto, requiring no update for the capability. 2016 Cruzes will already have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay installed, also requiring no update. Now, Chevrolet offers the most models with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to keep you connected on the road.

Because Android Auto is now available with MyLink software update, you can schedule an appointment at Graff Chevrolet Durand to have this completed. If you're looking for a vehicle with these capabilities, check out the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze, and the 2016 Chevrolet Sonic.

Whatever your auto need is, including service, we can help! We also want to help you take care of your vehicle so you can enjoy it and its features for seasons and years to come.

Tires: This component is one of the most important to your safety! Having enough tire tread is necessary when stopping on wet roads, not to mention correct tire pressure can get you the best fuel efficiency. Visit our spring tire care page for more information.
Wiper Blades: On this page we cover the component that helps give you a clear view. With all the rain and fog, wiper blades are an important part to replace for the spring season. See our tips on our spring wiper blades page.
Alignment & Suspension: Thanks to winters rough road conditions and the potholes that are a result of the changing weather, your alignment and suspension can take a toll. Your vehicles alignment can affect its performance, while the suspension can affect its safety. View our spring alignment & suspension page for signs you may need service.
Fluids: There are many different fluids throughout your car that lend to its performance and efficiency, but which ones are important to check this time of year? Explore our spring fluids maintenance page for a list of what fluids to have inspected or changed and why.

Read through the tips on our spring car cleaning page and find a How-To on getting that nasty winter salt out of your carpets.
