I've not read the manual (why spoil the habit of a life time?) but think it'll work on more phones than listed. I've had it working on a 2014 Moto x and the current Moto x play. You may need lollipop and above though it probably hasn't been tested on Marshmallow. I'll have to see if I can find the manual as never saw it when I downloaded the app.
Just downloaded the manual. Certain it wasn't there when I downloaded the firmware update.
Actually the phone compatibility list is as on November 2014!!
hi all i have the AVIC-F77DAB, i also have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 and have downloaded AVICSYNC and ANDROIDAUTO now Androidauto works fine however my head unit doesnt even recognise AVICSYNC even tho its listed and installed on both devices. I have upgraded to firmware 1.03 but this makes absolutely no difference. I have tried both bluetooth and wired, am i just being thick?? if so what am i doing wrong?? Im uk based by the way and as i do over 100k miles a year it would be really nice to have live traffic rather than have to rely on radio data.
Also is there anyway to copy this software to a stand alone GPS unit?
regards
Simon
You there, is that the 8000nex or the 8100nex you got? Google search shows that's euro's version of the 8000nex, which is what I've got, along with the S6 edge. How'd you get android auto running? I've been trying for hours, updated to latest available firmwares and all. Got another thread in the NEX section if you don't want to clutter this one
The avic 77dab in EU is equivalent to the 8100nex and both support android auto. The 8000nex does not support android auto but does support apple car play. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me but is what I'm led to believe. Hope that helps.

yeah doesn't look like it supports anything I have.... all my devices are Lollipop and above but GooglePlay shows not compatible with any of them... HTC M8, M9, A9 all either on LP or MM..... what a shame here..... and a fail at this point.

And i'm crying. Time to upgrade to the 8100nex since i'm sure pioneer will drop support for the 8000 soon anyway
Avicsync for USA is out now, firmware updates are on pioneers site as well.
U.S. Firmware installed.
AvicSync app installed on my iPhone 6s, but it defaults to UK values.
How do I associate the phone?! I've tried every menu option on both the Phone and the headunit, and I can't figure it out.

Try again with the help of this video-tuto....

Yeah... Already watched that. The Nav on the head unit isn't finding the phone, either via USB or Bluetooth.
UPDATE: CarPlay MUST BE TURNED OFF for Avisync to be activated. I haven't tried turning CarPlay back on to see if Avicsync works once activated with CarPlay on.

That's lame. Again I just don't see the value in the AVICSYNC. Let alone paying for premium services.
The release notes state the app defaults to UK values and you'll need to change them for US. I noticed there are a few free service trials...
1 Year Free Trial for Connected Services
30 Days free trial for Connected Services
30 Days Live HD Traffic USA & Canada
Also, the notes say you'll need to reinstall any naviextras installed prior to the firmware update. This means 8100 users will need to re-install the updated maps from Naviextras that were provided for free.
UPDATE #2: Once my iPhone was associated with the Nav on the NEX, I turned CarPlay back on, and both CarPlay and Avicsync worked fine!
It seems that CarPlay only needs to be turned off for the initial association/pairing between the Avicsync app and the NEX Nav system.

I don't *think* you have to reinstall updated maps for the 8100, the firmware updates the nav database to an even newer version.
**Edit** No, you're right, after the firmware update it wants you to apply the patch again.
I am at a loss as well over the value of avicsync if you've already got android auto with traffic and such.. Other systems I understand, but can anyone tell me what else I get out of avicsync that I can't do through Android Auto? Maybe I'm missing the point... No way am I spending even more money past the price of the unit.. That's absurd.

Yeah I hear ya. The only thing I've found so far that Avicsync has that Android Auto doesn't is current gas prices in the area and slightly more detailed weather. Can't speak for the parking info since it doesn't seem to work.
FYI - They include a free year of services and 30 days traffic. After that it's $15.37US/year for services, $23.53/year for traffic. The traffic part boggles my mind, Android Auto has built into Google Maps, and if you have a 8100 you already have free lifetime traffic lol.
So AvicSync only offers weather, traffic and parking info?

And gas prices and something called "online search" which I'm not sure what it is or how to access it.
Also, it includes a navigation app for your phone with a very similar interface to the NEX. You can sync info between the phone and head unit, and it remembers where you parked your car. The thing is that it includes the entire nav database which bloats the app to 2-3 GB. If you have a phone with limited space this is a problem.
I suppose there are times when having a standalone nav app for you phone without having to download map info could be handy. But the consensus seems to be that this offers very little over Android Auto or Apple Car Play.
AVICSYNC now available on Google play store in the USA. Merry Christmas!!!

I think my 8100 has lifetime traffic as long as I am within radio range if the radio station broadcasting the data. The traffic subscription may become valuable if I am out of radio range in the country but still have Internet access via cell phone towers. I could still get updates such as if the interstate was shut down 10 miles ahead out in the country. This is all theoretical of course until proven true.
Yeah, I'm curious about the duplicate traffic source and why we'd bother paying for it. I'm also noticing that I still don't have speed cam warnings and other alerts that pioneer originally said would be part of Avicsync.... Those things aren't mentioned anywhere... Kind of sucks that 1.5 years late and this is what they have to show for it. My Toyota entune came with more connected features but their navigation sucks.

The traffic service through avicsync is through a different service as opposed to the one that is through the local radio towers which is typically slow to updating from what ive seen.... manual called out what exact service the avicsync is hitting for traffic but its not the same as what you have without it.
