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

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

I am going to call Axxess to find out. Have not been able to get it to work.

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

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.

I use my voice through AA

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.

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

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.
