typeROD Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Anybody get the new NEX stereos with Android Auto support and got it working? Received my unit today and threw all kinds of Android 5.0 devices to it and cannot get it to work. I've tried Nexus 5 (x2), Samsung S5, Moto X 2nd Gen, and HTC One M7. All of them feel like it tries to connect as it does a quick flash on the phone but on the stereo nothing happens. Only the Samsung S5 I can see Android Auto icon appear for a split second and then disappears. Bluetooth connection was established to see if that will help, it did not. Smartphone setup is switched to Android Auto already. Plugs in a Iphone and Carplay just pops right up and starts working , Well played Apple well played. What gives? Been messing with this for almost two hours now. *sighhhhh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tekki Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Use USB port 2 probably Quote Link to post Share on other sites

typeROD Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 wanted to chime in again in case someone else run into same issue I am this week or next. This is what Pioneer rep replied back to me: "We were informed that Google has delayed the launch of Android Auto and it will not be available for a week or two. Android Market will automaticallysend out an update to all Android Phones using Lollipop 5.0 as soon as itis released by Google." So now the waiting game Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pjrm68 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm sure it'll be out by early summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cwolfey Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 AndroidAuto is supposed to be released today by Google I heard by Pioneer directly. http://www.android.com/auto/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scionboxrox Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Android Auto should be available in the store now per www.ceoutlook.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim98TA Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 AndroidAuto is supposed to be released today by Google I heard by Pioneer directly. http://www.android.com/auto/ I just downloaded it on my phone, but all it does is give you the first page with 1 setting. I then checked to see if my phone was compatible. It says only with phones running 5.0 Lollipop or above. My phone does have Lollipop. What is up with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scionboxrox Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Here is an Android Auto Check Link. Paste it into the browser on your phone. It will tell you if it is compatible. http://www.android.com/auto/check/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzfan80 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Download the android auto app from the play store. It was released today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kcdc Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Not working on my end either. Phones compatible, using 8100nex. On the phone, it looks like it tries to load, then crashes I am, however going from USB 2 port to an adapter that goes to the cars usb port. This may be the issue. Tomorrow, I am pulling the unit out and plugging in straight from a normal USB cable. Is anyone using Auto successfully? If so, how are you plugging into the USB2 port? Through pioneer's expensive extension or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cwolfey Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Connected using a USB extension on USB2, I did have some trouble with my original usb to micro not working, I figured it out by noticing that the phone would charge but not recognize it was connected to usb device.. Change cable, restarted phone, and Auto popped up. One issue: I cant seem to get the voice button on top right corner to work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carnutsx2 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 S5 with a 4100, I can get the android auto to work but the microphone icon won't work so I can't use any of the voice commands. I've updated the os on the phone ,used s oem cord and reset the stereo. No luck, any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
typeROD Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I downloaded app same day it was released yesterday. Its working fine on Nexus 5 and Moto X 2nd gen I've tested with. Its pretty cool. Cant wait for it to evolve a bit more with more app support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
