No, the built-in Pandora interface only works with an iPhone/iPod touch. It requires a custom Pioneer app to be installed on the phone. I comes with a fairly long USB dongle. One end plugs into the back of the HU, the other has a female USB jack. It also has a female 1/8" mini-jack for A/V. Your Pioneer iPod adapter (optional) plugs into both of these. It comes with a mic, try it before you buy one. Mine works as good as any other non-noise cancelling mic. Some people have tried 3rd party mics with varying results. Not sure what A/V harness you want. It comes with a dongle with all the AV jacks (various RCA inputs and outputs). You will probably want an adapter to plug into your factory harness.

I do still need the above parts because the one I bought on ebay did not come with them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gee, I wonder why a person would be selling a HU on ebay without bothering to also include the cables? Probably because they couldn't hang around long with the alarm going off. Well, I hope you got a great deal, cause it's unlikely you will find someone selling them. These are specific to this unit. You can order replacements from Pioneer, but it will be expensive. You will also need the GPS antenna and power cord. I'd guess it's about $150-$200 for everthing you shoud of received from a legit seller. I looked into just buying a spare power cord once, and it alone was about $45. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I got the hu for $515 with the manuals and original box so im sure its legit. Youre about on point with the prices for cables. I ebayed the power cord ($22) and antenna ($21.90). The ipod cord is $15, and the usb cable is $62, mic $36.50, A/V cables are $65. Just looking for lower prices. Never know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Those 15 dollar iPod cables are going to give you issues. In fact, you will be lucky to not have serious issues with this whole deal. You could have bought a new 120 for nearly the price you will eventually probably pay for this in the end. And thats not even counting the frustration you are likely to encounter soon. Good luck to you however. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jefe21 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I emailed Pioneer on Android and got this back: Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc. Unfortunately as of right now we have not received any information about adding support for the Android operating system. But with the Droid phones becoming extremely popular and more and more people asking for it could just be a matter of time before we issue some update to add that feature. Thank You, Kevin Customer Service Representative Sounds good to me!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 This would be considered a feature addition and you are not going to see that until the next unit is released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
