For andriod auto, and it is pretty damn sweet. If anyone is interested in this unit I could tell you my experience. Anyone else eyeing this?
Yeah, I'd love it, but not for the price. I'll wait till they come down, or I get a new car. Or both.
It's something I've been considering upgrading to, particularly the 4100 vs the higher models. Did you install it yourself or hire someone?
I had someone install it. What was good about my car that might not be for yours is that I didn't have steering wheel controls. If you hvae controls on your steering wheel its going to cost you a lot more to install.
That's what I figured. Crutchfield says you need adapters for steering wheel controls. Who did your install? A local shop or a national chain?
I'm definitely going to wait, but at some point or another I definitely want to get either Android Auto or Apple Carplay. I'm just hoping I can find the right size screen to replace my current nav.
next car I buy will have android auto/carplay built-in. It's the future and I don't know why these car manufactures are resisting it and continuing with their native in-house systems. All of them suck and aren't nearly as flexible.
I looked at that same exact model and also units from Kenwood, but they still look like they're in the early stages. I'd expect Android Auto to rapidly revolve, but I'm wary of manufacturer support. I just wonder if I'd spend $500 on a new receiver, how long Pioneer or Kenwood would support it.
Android auto is supported mostly by the android app. I guess you could worry about firmware updates, but I heard that before google would approve of these units to carry the android auto name that they had to meet certain basis requirements. Considering the fact that Android auto is so important to google I'd image that they aren't going to let pioneer or any manufacture screw it up.
