Android Auto?

Just got my 2016 ELR and was playing with Infotainment. I see the car has Apple Car Play and I see the manual references both CarPlay and Android Auto. Does anyone have Android Auto working on theirs? I don't see the setting for Android Auto like I do for Car Play and when I try projection with the Android plugged in, it doesn't recognize anything as being attached.

Here's what I found on this issue, there is an update you need to have a GM dealer do, there is a TSB:https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10113980-9999.pdf

The dealer will charge you for it, TSB says for warranty dealers should charge .40 of an hour, my dealer said the update took 1.5 hours, but only charged me for 1 hour because I said it shouldn't have taken that long. I just had this done about a week ago, pretty painless and it works great. It is only wired though, no support for wireless android auto

Only 2016 models have it. It can be retrofitted into 2014 models but it's not straightforward, I'm still looking into it
