if u get a wireless adapter u can do that, like the otto cast play 2 video pro wireless it gives u KZread and CarPlay and android auto and it lets you screen share your phone to your thing its really nice if u look it up online.

Very helpful!! Just got my new car and I had no clue what the Projection button was. I was looking desperately for Airplay lol.
I had my Chevy Bolt for 2 years and wondered what that meant...Lol. Thanks! Thumbs-up from me.
thanks for explaining about projection because for a year I had no idea what that button was. Now I'm using it with Android auto and I am very happy!
Rented a Chevy Cruze and this helped. Thanks!
Bruh, you just saved me months of tiring work and frustration with trying to connect my iPhone to my dashboard Home Screen. I even took it back to the garage where I bought my truck and they couldn’t figure it out. Thank you!!!

I have a 2016 camaro2LT with the 7 inch screen. I tried connecting my android but it only shows Apple play. Did they not install Android Auto on my vehicle?
I would like to plug my Android (Samsung S4) in via USB and not get the nagging phone screen asking if I want to setup Android Auto. Any idea how on my 2018 Colorado Infotainment system? I tried Android Auto but didn't care for limited apps (could access My Places via Maps in Android Auto), so Uninstaller it... I'll just pass the audio through the system via Bluetooth or Auxcillary In and use my phone screen as usual. Thanks!
Mine doesn’t even work when I plug it in It says failure?Have you seen this message before
Is there a way to watch KZread or stream movies from my phone?
With my TV I can do two cool things with my Galaxy S8, I can mirror my screen, this allows me to see exactly what I see on my phone on my TV. Also there's a feature called broadcast (i think) that allows me to play videos or KZread clips on the TV. Is there any way to do either of these things with this?

No they don't allow stuff like that since it would be unsafe when used improperly
It seems that my Info button has been replaced by a Projection button. How do I get my Info button back? I didn't do anything to make this happen. The Projection button just showed up last week.
My 2016 Lacrosse has Projection icon but in settings I only see apple carplay. It was my understanding that Projection meant it will support both android auto and apple car play not just one or the other? Thanks

I have a 2015 z71 Silverado. I don’t have this feature to mirror my phone
And if it's not working? The cord Ive been using works fine but suddenly it stopped I replaced the cord I know what kind to use and it's not reading. I just replaced the fuses still not working. I pulled the USB out disconnected and reconnect, still not working I can't use my android auto anymore what's going on?

Yes. It's super simple: Set your phone in front of the screen, preferably in the horizontal position, and you're done. (I'm just making fun of the fact that Android Auto or Apple Carplay are touted as such huge breakthroughs, but I'm able to that and more just by setting my phone in front of my MyLink screen in my '14 Cruze.)

If using Android auto, you do have to use specific usb cable, usually the one that came with your phone. I tried some cheap cables and they wouldn't work. Couldn't get it to connect and would get a message... Google it and buy good quality sub cable...

Check the settings to ensure that both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are turned on. If you don't have those settings in there then you likely don't have them on your truck (back in 2016 they weren't standard on every model)
I have a 2016 silverado and i dont see the peojection option on mine
How do I get to that screen
And the whole time, I'm thinking if you plug up your phone, it'll project off the windshield on the passenger side
So "Projection" allows quicker view of your Phone. With out pick up and looking at your phone(HANDS FREE). KEEPING YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD AT ALL TIMES.
I was thinking my friend had a projector that like shot out the front grill for like “drive in” movies lmaoooooo. Welp

Well this is b******* but apparently about 6 months ago you could use an app call AA Mirror to screen mirror your phone display to the GM display. But Android auto has since been updated to make this not work I wonder why they would be working so hard to keep this disabled it's not like many people would go through the hassle of figuring this out
