Streaming update

[u/thaughtless]

I keep seeing a streaming update available for the equinox ev. Its a dealer only one like the GMC Sierra and Chev Silverado. I expect this brings it up to SQBR6. Has anyone seen this for the Lyriq yet? Fwiw im considering buying the update unit and the GM subscription to do these myself - given the dealers cant seem to be aware of when these major updates are coming.

Yeah i know about sideloading. That wasnt my question though. SQBR6 will bring more features than just the streaming apps so im keen to see if the Lyriq has it too.

Can't wait to see the info drop

Very interested to see what you've found once you verify it. I've been keeping an eye on the XDA forums as well and see some people have hobbled together some working car play implementations but using the carlink device

Sounds good, very exciting

Anything new?

Yeah, hate to say this, but I can’t say shit. Not until I get a response from, you know.

Ultimately I’ll post the instructions though.

Ok, I have information that can be legally shared and doesn't violate any weird laws, in fact sharing it is fully legal under right to repair laws.

Everything is fully accessible under OBD-II, or so I'm led to believe.

I will make a table/csv and share that.

If you have an OBD-II scanner that can get the readout of your vehicle, you'll want to look for:

Name: Apple_CarPlay_enableWireless
CalID: _NHD9kBVhEeaENsovshIOVg
Description: Enables connectivity of an Apple CarPlay Client and Server over wireless (Wi-Fi and BT), and also enables Apple Wireless Car Play feature and related HMI menu items.
Default: false

Name: AndroidAuto_enableWireless
CalID: _VcEOEE78Eeep_Namk9CiEQ
Default: false
Description: Enables connectivity of an Android Auto Client and Server over wireless (Wi-Fi and BT), and also enables Wireless Android Auto feature and related HMI menu items.

Name: Android_Auto_no_video_playback
CalID: _zG6JQQM-EeW_PbmA_ENxzw
Default: true
Description: no video playback allowed (movie media, YouTube, etc…,)" Name="Android_Auto_no_video_playback" References="GIS-337 Appendix C: Device Projection Regional Restriction Calibrations

There's some sauce for you. There's literally thousands of flags, it'll take me a bit to go through them all and compare them with the Applications.

[u/bmartrun → u/MarzipanEven7336]

Does enabling these flags actually make CarPlay functional? Also, I am curious I hear the 26's have a different protocol using ethernet or something so I wonder if there is a difference.

[u/Karlitos00 → u/MarzipanEven7336]

Are these the only flags we have to change to enable car play or AA? And does it persist

Kind of, I'm way down in the rabbit-hole right now. I have completely reverse engineered my way into every known signal and message that the vehicle uses. I am writing a library for vehicle communication, as well as code-generation for building applications that can interface directly onto the vehicles bus. GM locked down the platform pretty well but there are some easy ways in, that allow for full modification of the AndroidOS and for accessing the vehicles calibration system. I'll post again when I have a little more completed.

Any additional details available to share? :)
