So I just got a new used 2011 chevy cruze RS LTZ with nav and Bluetooth. All the bells and whistles. Well, my note 3 syncs well for calls and all, but the OEM interface and voice actions pretty much blow compared to Google Now. AND the Bluetooth connection doesnt work for streaming audio, just calls. BUT, it does have an aux in, so here's my setup. I got an $8 Qi charging pad that's the same dimensions as my phone , and placed it in the holder and added a Bluetooth transmitter in the aux jack, which is hidden nicely in the center compartment. Now, with my phone visible and charging in the cradle, I say ok Google and the car microphone transmits the action to my phone, and all audio plays through the car speakers! It's pretty much android auto without the $700 price tag! And it's convenient to just drop the phone in the cradle and go. No wires!
