Yea I have gave up on it. The android auto part of the NEX needs improved to handle that. Until then I will reach for the screen.

From Pioneer. This is stupid ! So much for hands free texting and calling. Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. The steering wheel controls will not integrate with the Android Auto application side. Rocky Customer Service Representative

I talked to Axxess and my ASWC-1 was not responding correctly so they had me do a firmware update. Once I did that then the programming worked as I expected it to. However I just realized in Android mode non of my buttons work as they should. Vol +/-, etc. They do odd things like change program. Now in Pioneer mode they work fine. So I have a message in to Pioneer. Doubting this is going to end well. LOL

I am going to call Axxess to find out. Have not been able to get it to work.

I am guessing the answer is no but thought I would check. The hands free thing on my 8100 works great for text and calls however I have to press button on the Avic screen to use it. I have not been able to get the button on my steering wheel to activate it either but not sure I am doing the manual programming correctly. I actually have the cable to run the android app to program the Axxess but my device(s) dont seem to run in host mode. Thanks

Thank you

Do you Auto EQ both sides (Left and Right) or just do it once and choose where you placed the microphone?

My 06 gm has the vss wire in the smaller connector to oem radio.

Thanks very much. Well let's hope that somehow android can improve that. I don't forsee pioneer changing the built in maps. I might need to play with it more to see if there are avic settings that give me a better view. My old z3 seemed to do a better job.

Just installed a new 8100nex and am not overly happy with the map setup on the Avic itself so will probably be running Google maps when needed. I do not see anywhere that you can configure the maps like dark/light, etc. Is there nothing you can configure? Rich

I am ready for an upgrade. Just was not sure it it was worth getting fixed and selling or not.

I have an Avic Z2 that has been upgraded to Z3 with larger drive. Also has all options as far as I know. BT, XM, iPod adapter, etc. It recently started slipping trying to tilt the screen which I realize is the plastic gear and can be repaired by pinning or sending off for $90-$120. I am just thinking about upgrading to something different instead of having it repaired. Is there a market for these things still? Works great (except tilt) and is installed in a garage queen with low usage so condition is excellent. Rich

Thanks guys. One more question. I have the hard drive out right now. Current updating map files... I want to erase music library and start over. Can I delete folders in MSV partition under music? Just trying to save time. I dont remember the method doing it from the head unit. Thanks

Trying to burn some CDs from my MP3 collection so I can write them to my library. I did about 20 CDs before trying them and only about half of them have the artist/title info. What format of Tagging is the Avic Z3 looking for? I guess I am going to have to get a tag editor and check everything bfore I make CDs. Thanks

Thank you. Will try it.
