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

Use USB port 2 probably

yes I'm of course plugging into USB port 2 which is explain in manual to do so.

USB port 1 is for Carplay.

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 automatically
send out an update to all Android Phones using Lollipop 5.0 as soon as it
is released by Google."

So now the waiting game 

I'm sure it'll be out by early summer.

AndroidAuto is supposed to be released today by Google I heard by Pioneer directly.

Android Auto should be available in the store now per www.ceoutlook.com

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?

Here is an Android Auto Check Link. Paste it into the browser on your phone. It will tell you if it is compatible.

That's what I did.

It said only phones with Lollipop or higher. I am running Lollipop

Download the android auto app from the play store. It was released today.

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?

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?

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?

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.

I've reset the deck and the phone and still no luck .

With any luck someone will have a flash of brilliance and help me solve the problem.

Pioneer is about to release a firmware update to fix the issues with incompatible devices,  at this time only the Nexus phones work 100%

I was told any day for this.

I have a Nexus 5 connected to the USB2 port, Android Auto seems to work perfectly.
For the mic icon issues: Mine works fine. I'm wondering if maybe problems arise if the Bluetooth hasn't been paired?
Android Auto notes: Some of my radio apps on the head unit appear to be buggy. Ex's-Pocket Casts seems to always reset my "up next" list, can't add episodes to the up next list. Forces me to select an episode and then can only navigate trough episodes within that subscriptions list. TuneIn Radio stations list cuts off after like "D's", don't have a full list of all categories or stations within a category. Anyone else running into buggy or incomplete App functionality?

Thanks for checking up on this

My LG G3 still won't connect regardless of cable...

Gimme that firmware!

I'm sure it'll be out by early summer.

Oh my god I love you man.

That explains a lot, it's more than the microphone button not working some little details like deleting navigation destinations would be nice.

Bluetooth and usb port 2 are being used. It seems pioneer failed to test with more than 1 phone.

looks like the firmware update is live:

 i got  the galaxy 5  download the pioneer firmware 1.03  update voice still doesnt  work so does that mean galaxy 5 wont work  with   android  auto

Same here, still nothing.

Definitely starting to think its the phones, not the deck

Maybe lollipop 5.1 will help when it is released. Would make the most sense since the only phones that get the update currently are the nexus phones, which are the only ones that work with auto.
