Android auto charging? Pioneer 8100NX

[Bigballer]

How are charging speeds when connected to the headunit, particularly the pioneer 8100nx?

500 mA? 1 amp? 2 amp?

Specs say 1.6A. I have had no issues with my phone charging when running NAV and music/podcasts.

I was always under the impression that when using data, charging will be capped at 500 mA.

How's charging though? I have a Nexus 6 so it has a pretty hefty battery. I don't want to choose between charging and android auto

Don't think you'll have a problem. My Moto X charges just fine.

I use a nexus 6 and it charges while using nav and streaming google play music. When I say charge I mean it actually goes up in % but it does it slowly.

I suppose it depends if you're using a quality cable. 28/22 AWG or better.

Anyone of you guys want to run an app like Ampere and post the results?

FWIW when I talked to Pioneer they told me 1A.

The way I figure it is if I need to charge that badly, I'll do so (Quick Charge FTW) and play music over Bluetooth for that time.

Care to use a USB power meter and let us know what the real test results are?

I got 1A per the Galaxy Charging Current app.
