Depends on 2 things.

Do you have the larger screens (6.5” or 8”).
If it’s only 5.5”, sadly the answer is no.

If you have the larger screen then you may have it already. But it should support Full Link. If it doesn’t you may have to pay for it to be unlocked by a dealer.

It's a 2017 model so is that the larger screen?

In that case it should have 2 buttons on the left, the lower button takes you to ‘full link’ which will tell you if you need to have it unlocked or anything. If it doesn’t need unlocking then it’s a case of looking at the instructions for Android link and how to get it working when you plug it in via USB

If you only have a volume on/off control it's an 8 inch screen, if you have two rotary knobs it should be 6.5 inch, have a look at the menus to see if full link is on it, select it and see if a message comes up about activation, if no message then it should be activated for Apple carplay or Andriod auto.

They changed in 2017. Does it have any buttons on the sides? A knob on the left?

It has one rotary knob on the left ( on/off ,volume ) and the 2 push buttons above it, all on the left .

Install android auto then plug the phone into the dashboard usb, then hit the bottom button.

Mirror link is not much use, compared to auto.
