Can I send my Android display to my Mylink display?

[SupaSonic15]

So I would like to see my Android display on my radio screen while driving for the Google Maps and stuff but I can't seem to make it happen. I am running Android Auto(it automatically loads as soon as I turn on the radio) and I have a usb cable connected at the same time. I have the phone icon, Bluetooth icon, and the USB icon all lit in the Mylink display, but I still cannot get the display to show on the radio. The GPS app on Android Auto is running, but it wont transfer to the radio either.
I have an LGG3 and my wife has an LG V10 and neither will work.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible?

2015 Sonic LTZ. My Chevrolet says no recalls or updates currently available for my vehicle.

Thanks!
Ron

So I guess not then.

I read through the whole article and I guess it doesn't work with my particular phone. I do have Lollypop running on my phones too.

Has anyone ever had it connect?

I've got the same year and model. Mylink doesn't support Android auto. Best you could do is open the app and place your phone on a mount, and play audio through the aux port or Bluetooth. But that means forfeiting the cars radio.

I think you can update mylink to be able to mirror your phone, but again, you sacrifice the radio (I think, that may actually work out if mirrorlink doesn't kill the car's audio).

From what I remember the 2015 still has "Smartphone Link". This doesn't work with Android Auto, only "Projection" does. You can do the MyLink hack to enable "Mirror Link" under "Smartphone Link" but when I tried that on my 2013 it was super shoddy and only worked maybe 20% of the time. Best I can offer for you is either A) Use BringGo by creating a 15 minute email and a new account on BringGo every 30 days (since you get 30 days of premium for free), or B) Replace your head unit with an Android Auto compatible after market radio. That's what I just did, got myself a Sony XAV-AX100 after playing with AA in my fiance's new Trax. Sorry

Does the stock steering wheel controls work the Sony deck? I wonder f the dealer has a software update that I could buy to make the stock deck function correctly?
Man, what a bummer!

It's not that it doesn't work correctly. It's that that is not a function of mylink. It doesn't run android auto.

You've got to get an adapter, and even then it's still touchy. I purchased this kit and it came with this interface. The instructions say to set the dial to the manufacturer of radio to get the SWC to work, however the interface hasn't gotten a firmware update since like 2014/2015 and Sony must have changed their inputs because it didn't work. Luckily the radio has a "Custom SWC Assignment" page so I was able to get some buttons to work.

What they didn't tell me was that with the stock head unit removed, if you press the "Answer Call/Voice Command" button on the steering wheel, it will still access OnStar unless you purchase a $30 USB adapter to disable it. I did, I disabled OnStar, and now the radio won't recognize the input so the button is pretty well useless.
