    The state of Android Auto as of early July ...

    I have an AVH-4100NEX (installed in a 2010 Camaro) and an unmodified AT&T Note 4. Here are my thoughts: I have not used Android Auto alot, just a few hour long commutes to try it out. So far, I have not had any connection issues. I tried three different usb cables (one of them a generic cheapo)...

    fwiw, I just updated mine. I put the folder in the root of my sandisk 64gb usb drive (formatted to ntfs) and plugged into a usb port that came in my camaro (into which I plugged into usb1 port using a regular usb cable).

    Voice guidance volume issue on Pioneer nex

    I just got my avh-4100nex installed in my 2010 Camaro. Working great for the most part. I am now trying out android auto with my Galaxy Note 4 connected. Also working very well. Even with my phone tucked under the dash, I seem to get a good gps lock and data speed. I can play music from my...
