I guess I will find out Monday when my SGS3 arrives whether I have the same issue.
Just do me a favour. Document exactly what steps you take to connect everything via Bluetooth and let me know if you have the issue I experience. Maybe there's a way around it that I haven't found yet.
So there were no unusual steps when I connected to my Z130BT. I simply put my phone as "discoverable" and told the head unit to search for devices. Once my phone appeared, I clicked it and a window popped up on my phone that asked for the password. I entered the password and hit "OK." I was then told that the Z130BT wanted access to the contacts list. I selected "don't ask again" (this appeared as "always allow access" or something like that on my old Droid), and hit "OK." No problems thereafter, and contacts list downloaded fine. I was able to call people via voice recognition (or what Pioneer passes for voice recognition!).Just do me a favour. Document exactly what steps you take to connect everything via Bluetooth and let me know if you have the issue I experience. Maybe there's a way around it that I haven't found yet.
This leads me to believe that it is an issue with the AppRadio 2 software...
For what it's worth, my phone is on Android 4.0.4 and the Z130BT bluetooth firmware is 3.36.
That still doesn't explain why Bluetooth works perfectly fine when I have Android 2.3.5 on the S2 LTE. 
OK? My droid worked fine on Android 2.3.x as well. Both of my phones connect to the Z130BT and my separate Samsung Bluetooth headset just fine. Have you tried connecting your phone to other BT devices? I'll bet it works fine. Besides, it's not like Pioneer doesn't have a history of shotty firmware releases.That still doesn't explain why Bluetooth works perfectly fine when I have Android 2.3.5 on the S2 LTE.
Everyone make sure to email Pioneer with these complaints and problems too so they are made aware and will fix it.
Good luck. Pioneer won't listen.Everyone make sure to email Pioneer with these complaints and problems too so they are made aware and will fix it.

Every device that I've connected my phones to that has a PIN other than 0000 has this issue.
That would surprise me. That would be a glaring oversight on the part of the manufacturer and software developers. Have you tried to change Pioneer's password? It works fine for me with 1111 on the Z130BT, though.Every device that I've connected my phones to that has a PIN other than 0000 has this issue.
So I'm wondering, any of you have a Galaxy Tab by chance?
I'm wondering if I can use my Verizon Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I have a data plan with it so I don't mind using that for all my needs, media wise, instead of my phone.
I have a dock with HDMI and USB out so I can just dock my tablet every time I need to if that works.
At minimum I would think mirroring works no problem because it's basically a blown up SGS2/SGS3?
Can any one please respond back if they have a tablet they can test with. Thanks!
I wonder if any one over at xda can help churn out more working Android Apps.
I've been reading here and there and it seems like this iOS gets priority support but it could just be me.
Where is every one. LOL...
Èšhe iSheeple herd is large for a relatively small selection of phones (fewer devices to program for but still encompassing a large number of people) so they are bound to garner support first.
I don't think it's that simple. The app has to be modified as well as approved by pioneer I believe. I haven't even heard if pioneer has their android app sdk out yet. I have talked to devs that are interested in making their apps compatible and have contacted pioneer but that's as far as its gone.
You both make excellent points, I'm just tired of seeing all this CrApple support come first for tablets and smartphones (or so it seems).
Cheers!
Or just use Killnanny and bypass Pioneer apps and rules altogether...
It may seem like Apple gets all the love, but the winds of change are in the air. Android phones are now vastly outnumbering iphones in the wilds and it's still gaining steam. It's only a matter of time until tablets do the same. Any company that doesn't pull it's head out of the sand and adapt is going to regret it. (Rim comes to mind)

Whole heartedly agree bro!
What is Killnanny? I don't see it on Google Play Store.
Killnanny is the upcoming app in the bounty thread that gives android users full control of their android phones. There's lots of info on the beta app over on http://appradioforums.com/index.php

I was hoping for a/the link magically and you came through bud! LOL. Thx!
WOW, I've been reading a little here and there on that forum about this. Pretty darn awesome!
This would save me so much time from time to fabricate my 7.7 Galaxy Tab into my dash!
Thanks for posting the link outcastrc!
