rrmccabe Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I am guessing the answer is no but thought I would check. The hands free thing on my 8100 works great for text and calls however I have to press button on the Avic screen to use it. I have not been able to get the button on my steering wheel to activate it either but not sure I am doing the manual programming correctly. I actually have the cable to run the android app to program the Axxess but my device(s) dont seem to run in host mode. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhren Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't know what the ASWC-1 offers for output to the remote control input (SWC) but according to iDataLink Maestro SW flash program, the following commands are available for the AVIC-8000NEX: Answer Call Attenuation On/Off Band Display Info or Text Hang Up & Reject Call Phone Menu Preset - Preset + Seek - Seek + Source Voice or Siri Volume - Volume + Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rrmccabe Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I am going to call Axxess to find out. Have not been able to get it to work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rrmccabe Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I talked to Axxess and my ASWC-1 was not responding correctly so they had me do a firmware update. Once I did that then the programming worked as I expected it to. However I just realized in Android mode non of my buttons work as they should. Vol +/-, etc. They do odd things like change program. Now in Pioneer mode they work fine. So I have a message in to Pioneer. Doubting this is going to end well. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rrmccabe Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 From Pioneer. This is stupid ! So much for hands free texting and calling. Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. The steering wheel controls will not integrate with the Android Auto application side. Rocky Customer Service Representative Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhren Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I believe rrmccabe wishes to know what steering wheel interface you have and what steps you take to initiate hands-free calling and texting. Stating that you can, while he cannot, just adds to his frustration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have the Maestro RR When it was installed, I"m not sure if it just can't do it, or they didn't hook it up right as I can't use the button on the steering wheel , so I just use the button on the screen... Someday I'll have them open it back up and adjust what ever is not setup right Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rrmccabe Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yea I have gave up on it. The android auto part of the NEX needs improved to handle that. Until then I will reach for the screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
