not to pull up an REALLY old thread, but can someone tell me if the x930BT has the "vehicle dynamics" like some of the older avics? I came from an avic-z1 and loved that feature. Can't find it anywhere on the x930bt.

What I did was install the pioneer illumination wire to my "dimmer" wire. Then I adjust my dimmer control.

And it will be two plus years from now before head unit manufactures implement any support. Honestly AVRCP over BT will likely become the standard over any wired control before that happens.

 

Totally agree with you. I prefer bluetooth streaming any day anyways.

The Apple Dock protocol has been standardized for almost five years now and has changed very little if any. That is why you have exclusive Apple iDevice support over anything else. All the manufactures will tell you that they would love to support Android but cant right now because there is no standardized control protocol like there is with Apple devices. That is what I was referring to.

 

 

The problem isn't that android isn't standardized. The problem is that Android (except for honeycomb) has never integrated this "control" protocol into their system. Now when ice cream sandwich (next version of android) comes out, it should have USB hosting, and this will fix those issues. But until that gets released, we just sit and wait and be jealous.

 

PS: The protocol you are referring to is MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).

 

 

EDIT: If anybody is a DEV, here is some API's to help kick off some development for Android phones. Includes all the MTP and PTP files.

That is exactly the problem. Until there is a standardized version of Android you likely wont see any support for these companies in the same way you see support for Apple iDevices. Sense the remote control protocol is standard over the dock connector with all Apple iDevices it is much easier for these companies to support those devices.

 

Not true. they're are 4 IOS OS's now.... Soon to be a 5th. Almost ALL android devices are standardized by using microUSB. I am currently a DEV for the android platform. I am new to the avic scene, but can't wait to dive in. Totally want to integrate android on these things. With USB hosting now available for Android 3.1 and on up, it will make things very interesting in the months/years to come.

Here you go man! Youtube is great for this! I am receiving mine friday and this will be the first thing I will be doing.
