  1. I had encryption enabled, and I had 3 google accounts on my phone. I had to reformat and factory reset my phone to fix all the problems I was having. But was it worth it? after a few weeks of using Android Auto, I don't think so. The stock 8100 features are nice and works better than Android Auto, I like the stock navigation better than Google maps on Android Auto, the voice commands are a mess, also the BT works better on the stock phone app and people complain of static on the line when I use it with Android Auto. The only thing so far that I liked in Android Auto is Google Music. I know And
  2. Finally got it to work ... here is the long story. Hardware: AVIC-8100NEX, Ford Expedition XLT, Metra XSVI-5520-NAV harness, Clarion CCAUSB 2.0 pass through connected to USB port 2. FriEQ microUSB cable. No Hardware or software bypass. Phone: Nexus5, android 5.1.1, Google Play Service 7.5.71, T-mobile, located in CTX area. Here is what I had on my phone. I had 3 accounts - work, school and personal. My phone was encrypted and I had pattern lock to unlock. I booted into recovery, formatted cache, wiped data, and setup my phone as a new phone and did not encrypt the phone, and with no lock
  3. Yes I have version 5.1.1 and google play service version 7.5.71. Should I return the HU ?
  4. I contacted Pioneer customer/Tech support regarding this issue. I am told that "Android Auto cannot connect right now. When it is safe to do so, please check your Android phone." means that my phone is not supported. Tech support tells me that they get this same question all the time and they say it could mean one of the following 1) my provider (T-Moble) in my area does not support Android auto 2) My device is not supported by Android Auto. Which is crazy I think because I have a Nexus 5, google's flagship phone and Tmobile ("the uncarrier") and I am based on central Texas. I somehow can't

  6. So I can verify that with the clarion adapter, when I connect my phone to the head unit, I do see the Android Auto icon. But when I click the icon or the "mode" button I see the "Android Auto cannot connect... blah" message. I was not holding the phone in my hand this time, I left it on the center console. Also, when you guys see the "Accept" than then the "Agree/decline" messages you do you see it on the phone or on the head unit ? Coz for me those messages popup on the phone.
  7. That is very interesting, so put the kit in, and connect the microUSB end to the adapter and the USB end to the headunit ? I will check my clarion cable and make sure that it is not the culprit. A previous poster mentioned that the phone has sensors to determine is I am parked... this might sound crazy but I have been holding the phone in my hand while I try to do the setup ... does the phone recognize that as not being parked?
  8. Sorry for cross posting, but this thread seems to be getting a lot of replies. So I am hoping to get some help here. I installed avic-8100-nex in my 07 ford expedition xlt using the Metra XSVI-5520-NAV harness. I used a CCAUSB 2.0 (http://goo.gl/lu7FGQ) pass through cable connected to port 2. I *do not* have any brake bypass, hardware or software, I have the parking wire connected to the light green wire on the metra harness. I upgraded firmware from 1.01 to 1.03. I have a nexus 5 that recently got the 5.1.1 OTA, I connected the nexus5 using the LG USB cable that came with the pho
  9. Here are the scenarios that I have tested: Parking brake to electrical grounded: android auto cannot connect, when it is safe check your phone message. Parking brake connected to parking brake:android auto cannot connect, when it is safe check your phone message. I have tried 3 different USB cables, and with one of then it seems to launch something, but exits with a message "Google play service has exited unexpectedly." I am using a Metra XSVI-5520-NAV harness for all the wiring to my ford expedition xlt. Any help deeply appreciated.
  10. I am using one of the harness,Metra XSVI-5520-NAV Non-Amplified Non-OnStar Harness to Retain Accessory Power. Light green wire on the harness is the parking brake which is now connected to parking wire on the unit.
  11. OK this morning I connected the parking brake to the parking brake on the harness, ie canceled the bypass, I set the software bypass to "set off". Uninstalled android auto on my phone. I depressed the brake pedal, and connected the phone (nexus 5) to port2. It initiated an install of android auto and apps, showed me an " accept " screen on my phone, nothing on the head unit yet, followed by, "agree/decline" and then nothing. When I switch mode I see " android auto cannot connect, when it is safe to do so check your android phone." I have tried a few of the USB cables that I have and I can't ge
  12. I just finished installing avic-8100-nex in my 07 ford expedition xlt. I upgraded firmware from 1.01 to 1.03. I grounded the parking brake wire to ground (black wire in harness). And I did the software bypass. I paired BT on my phone with the head unit. I have a CCAUSB 2.0 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GXQMXE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00connected to USB port 2. I installed android auto on my nexus 5.
