    Update: I received my Google cable yesterday. AA now works. I don't understand it as the old cable worked with my pixel without issue. I did experience the volume control issue. It doesn't always not work so I need to gather more information. Also, even with the Google cable the phone...

    Thanks. I ordered the cable. I don't think that is the issue as my pixel worked fine. But I'm willing to try anything at this point. If the cable doesn't solve it I have to return the phone. AA is the most important feature on the phone for me.

    I'm having Android Auto issues too with my Pixel 3. I previously used a Nexus 5x and Pixel without issue. What are the settings y'all are using for driving mode?

    Victor, Thanks for the reply. My phone hasn't been linked to the head unit. I don't have another to try. The USB-A to USB-C cable I purchased from Google when I bought the 5X. I hope that cable is good. The cable I am questioning is the USB extension cable that the audio installer connected.

    thank you for the reply. Yes, I have AA installed on my phone. I'm wondering if the issue is the cable coming from the H/U. It is an extension USB cable; installed by the audio dealer. I connect my USB micro to A cable to the extension.

    I have the 5x and pioneer AVH-4100NEX. I can't AA to work. I have USB A - C cable that I bought from Play when I ordered my phone. I've contacted Pioneer and they think everything is good on their end. When I connect the phone nothing happens on the phone side. Any help is appreciated.
