Learn Mandarin or figure out how to get Android Auto to work. No time for both.
Huge pain in the butt if you don't have an iPhone. I specifically bought this model for miracast capabilities AND Android Auto wireless connectivity. Apparently only a couple android models work wirelessly for AA (pixel and nexus phones apparently. Thanks, google). My galaxy s7 will NOT connect AA, only bluetooth hands free calling.
If you want wired android auto to work, you MUST BUY SEPARATELY the CDMU200 interface cable and plug it into the back of the head unit in USB 2 port, as port 1 ONLY WORKS WITH APPLE. You're not going to find any of this out unless you've done a lot of research online. Pioneer really disappointed me here. I'm not about to buy a new phone just to work around the false advertising, and if I have to buy another USB cord and that doesn't work, I'm sending the whole thing back. I've never had any piece of tech give me this big of a headache in the last 15 years, and this easily takes the cake. I've had to pull the head unit out literally a half dozen times already and STILL haven't gotten this POS to work.
