    Android Auto first impressions thread (and ask us anything!)

    I was finally able to get Android Auto to work. I'm not sure if it was just the USB cable I used or "fixing" my Lollipop install, but this is what I did: 1. Backup your phone. I used Kies, I'm guessing there are better options. 2. Boot in Recovery Mode (turn off phone, then turn back on while...

    Android Auto first impressions thread (and ask us anything!)

    When I called Pioneer they basically told me to wait and hope an update to my phone is rolled out that fixes the problem. The guy instructed me to go to the Android Auto check site from Google; pretty much tells you how useless that call was. Essentially, it sounds like Galaxy S4 and S5 users...

    That was my first thought, but I checked and it's definitely plugged into the USB2 port.

    I have a Galaxy S5 with Lollipop through AT&T and had Best Buy install my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. I updated the Pioneer firmware, set it up to look for Android Auto on USB2, Android Auto is set to start automatically, and I have the phone and Pioneer connected via Bluetooth. However, when I plug...
