Android Auto on 2016+ Enclave?

[newbuicksoon]

Can't seem to find a straightforward answer on this one. I was wondering if it was possible to get Android Auto in a 2016+ Enclave.



I have searched a bunch and it seems that if you have the right HU you should be able to get the dealer to just flash the update to the intellilink and boom, android auto (at least for maybe the traverse I think?). But it's not listed on the official site and I cannot seem to find if that is the case with the Enclave or not. We are looking to buy one soon so I would like to make it a condition upon sale to flash it if possible.

this site does not list Android for your vehicle or indicate that it can be flashed by a dealer.

Android auto update for HMI NG2.5 (2016+) has been released! The update is available through ACDelco SPS with valid subscription. A few shots of my HMI updating and repairing it to my car after

I was mainly looking at that and figuring that GM, being GM, would use the same radio across multiple lines for multiple years.

In any case, has anyone either retrofitted a new unit or installed an aftermarket HU to get Android Auto?

Check Crutchfield for the aftermarket HU, until you get the vehicle and see the RPO of what is installed looking for a used retrofit may be premature. GM has done changes on make, model and year even mid model year so what may work for one year may not work for another. Swapping out a GM for another GM HU will require a trip to the dealer to program it, just one other item to remember.

Looks like aftermarket it will be. Doesn't appear to lose too much (aux input, etc.) and retains the backup camera, etc.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

What model of aftermarket HU did you end up getting. I'm wanting to do the same thing if I don't lose my other Buick functionality.

Thank you!
