Are them Ray-Bans polarized? Most LCD (and OLED, I've learned with the N6) are polarized and at a certain angle will turn black. It's easily fixed with a screen protector though.I can still see it with my Ray Bans on.

I have a Google Play Music question: How is the browsing? Are you able to reach your library easily through menus, rather than voice?
Does anyone here also own an iPod? (is that blasphemy here?) Are you able to play this on your Pioneers while also using Google Maps?

Does Maps still show you alternative routes on the main map while navigating with the time differential displayed on the map?
Oh no. It's the perfect day in Minnesota for a little impulse buy and I have just enough time today to pull this off.
Any recommendations for an aftermarket remote starter that can be installed at the same time that has a great Android integration?
Thanks!
So I have a couple of questions.
How is the quality of the voice input, especially compared to BT? To test this, you can first connect your phone through BT like you normally would any radio (make sure the "bluetooth headset" option is enabled in the Voice settings of Google Now). Then, make some commands. Then disconnect from BT, connect to Android Auto and make commands. Then compare the quality of the voice recordings in the account history. (If it's not too much to ask) Also, please state if you have a N4/5 or N6. N6 is the only Nexus that supports HFP 1.6 with wideband audio. IME even wideband BT is way worse than the inbuilt mic or a wired headset (though likely not noticeable in phone calls).
The second question is a follow-up from last page, how are the night colors? Is the background bluish like the pictures posted in the previous page? Are surrounding traffic and streets easily visible, or are they obscured by the dark gray, like they are currently in the phone app?
Thanks a lot guys.
Like Phil said, the browsing is pretty minimal. You get the basics, like Listen, Playlists, Radio (if you're an All Access subscriber) or Instant Mix (if you're not a subscriber). The idea is that they don't want you doing too much browsing/scrolling/reading. You can use voice to access anything in your library (or All Access). For example, I asked it to "Play Thriller" and it started playing Michael Jackson's Thriller album (the entire album, not just the single track). If a song is also the title of an album, then it defaults to playing the album (if you have it, or if you have All Access).
As for the iPod, assuming you're not talking about Apple's Car Play, you can hook it up to USB 1 and treat it like any media source. Any music source will run simultaneously with Google Maps. You can switch back and forth with the unit's "Mode" button or use the Home button to go to the main screen and select your AV source from there.
Functions that seem to work simultaneously are Navigation, any AV sound source (one at a time), and system alerts (speeding, speed cameras, etc.). Any navigation or system alert lowers the volume (or mutes, depending on setting) any music you're playing. Phone calls mute all other sounds except navigation/alerts. So no music playing while on the phone.
So, at this point in time, was it worth the cost to upgrade your head unit, or is it still a bit of a novelty/cool tech toy for people who need to be on the cutting edge (buggy, very much a 1.0, etc.?). I'm guessing that as more of these hit the market and they have a bit of time to settle in, they will become a better value (both in terms of lower prices, even slightly, and better development/app support)
Anyone else having issues with Google voice command on Android Auto app? I'm using a Verizon Galaxy S5 w/ Lollipop 5.0. Android Auto loads on the Pioneer deck and the microphone comes up, however nothing happens on the deck with you press the mic icon. Buddy of mine has an HTC on Sprint and and voice command works fine.
Or did you use the mic that was included with the unit?Do you mean that the screen is non-responsive when you press the microphone icon (like it's grayed-out)? I'm going to ask a silly question: Do you have the external microphone wired properly?
