While Hyundai may be the first automaker to finally ship Android Auto – on just one car – Chevrolet is going for volume. So for the 2016 model year, it’s shipping 14 cars that are compatible with either Android Auto, Apple CarPlay or both.
Two MyLink systems will be offered, with the 7-inch version ready for both iPhone and Android users, and capable of running both systems. That system is coming to the new Malibu, along with the Cruze, Camaro, Silverado, and Spark.
The 8-inch system will be available on the Cruze, Malibu, Impala, Camaro, Corvette, Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, and the new Volt. However, that system will only be capable of running Apple CarPlay “at the beginning of the 2016 model year” with Android Auto functionality coming later in the year because of, we’re told, “integration issues.”
If you need a refresher on both systems, check out our explainer.
