I'm trying to figure out which cable to buy. From what I understand you can't use one cable for two apps so I want to see what everyone's experiences are and weigh it in. Appradio vs. Android auto. All suggestions and comments are appreciated.

AppRadio will ONLY work with specific phones..  HTC M7-9's and Sony Z were the only ones mentioned by the Pioneer tech I talked to the other day

I have a cheap USB cable for my phone, so don't spend too much money...
