I've had this Pioneer headunit in my 2017 Focus ST for a while now. Besides the t-harness from idatalinks focus specific kit, it's connected with a idatalink maestro rr as well to maintain the steering wheel controls. All of a sudden one day it started restarting songs and/or skipping songs. Sometimes it even changes the android auto screen on its own. It also wont auto connect to my Pixel 7 Pro wirelessly via android auto, but I'm aware that that issue has been mentioned here before.
I know it sounds weird but sometimes I almost feel like it's a frequency or something that does it because if it restarts a song and I lower the volume a lot it won't do it.
I'm pretty good at trial and error but besides that, I can't figure out what causes it. Sometimes it'll be totally fine and other times I wont even be able to use google maps because it will be beeping (the next song button beep) 100times in a row or changing screens by itself to the point where I have to turn the radio off and use my phone exclusively.
I have tried multiple phones and it still happens so it's definitely the headunit or a piece of accompanying hardware.
I will attach a quick clip of the issue (nowhere near as bad as normal) Any and all help is appreciated!
Anyone else encounter these weird issues? Haven't seen anyone mention these. (W4500NEX)
