Android Auto - Music Played via USB or Bluetooth

[AC Question]

With Android Auto is the music played back via the bluetooth connection or USB? I've read the Pioneer docs and it does say that Phone calls are handled via Bluetooth, but I was hoping that didn't mean music was as well. Music over bluetooth in my experience sounds quite bad with compression and narrow bandwidth. Anyone know the answer to this?

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central!

I believe you can do it either way. I have no issue with Music playing over bluetooth, it all sounds pretty good to me with my S6. Bluetooth has come a long way from what it use to be. It can handle a lot more bandwidth with version 4.0
