I felt like this thread would be helpful for anyone who is using AA or is considering it.
First of all, the bad news, as of right now Google don't seem to take AA support seriously. We can tweet at them and maybe if the stars align they might reply (and tell you to restart your phone). The support is terrible. Considering AA is going to be in most new cars from this year come on Google! We need proper support.
So I felt a little thread discussing bugs might be helpful.
Just so we are clear I absolutely LOVE AA. I think it's fantastic. I have an aftermarket EU Pioneer F77DAB and AA makes my life easier, my drive more fun and I can't wait to see what new features and apps will come to us this year (personally Waze is something I want and we know is coming). I am happy to overlook the bugs and wierdness as the benefits out weigh the negatives to me; but if I wasn't a gadget lover and wasn't on here I might feel differently.
These are the issues I have:
BUGS ON PIONEER HEAD UNITS WITH ANDROID AUTO
Please feel free to add issues below and I can add them into this thread. I know there are many issues with built-in systems.

- Voice
- Google voice search will not work; no reason given, just this annoying message:
"If you just said something I can't hear you"
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to resolve this issue. Sometimes reconnecting the phone works, sometimes it doesn't. Same with turning off the head unit, the car, restarting the phone etc. It just happens randomly and there doesn't seem to be a fix that works every time. Eventually it seems to sort itself out. Mostly.
Sound
- Pioneer features such as built in nav on some models reduce volume on phone calls and music through AA. Sometimes they return to normal after notification but most off the time they don't. I have to unplug the phone.
Performance
- AA doesn't launch or doesn't load Google Maps nav or music without a long delay or restart of the phone.
Again this happens randomly; no idea what causes it. This is on a Nexus 6P.
