im going to just start going to black market unlocked phones without these providers screwing up and bloating all of the features... i dont want 100% of what you have but the radio signal on a tower! they tweak stuff and then the only reason i want to use the phone for something is now bugged out and disabled like android auto. dotell on what they have toyed with along with how that matches what sprint has done and let me know what provider i need to switch too... att seems to be doing well!
What is up with the Galaxy S5 Voice compatibility with Android Auto?

kind of off topic, but I first noticed Verizon meddling beyond loading software on its devices when Adobe updated Reader to that new "DC" version. If you have Verizon's cloud app disabled, then it works as intended. However, if you don't, if you try to open any files, it launches Verizon Cloud instead of going to your actual file directory. There's gotta be a setting that shuts that off. (Then again, Android developers should NOT have to factor in for that kind of nonsense)
Update: Google has officially listed the Verizon Galaxy S5 (and the LG G3, regardless of carrier) as currently "incompatible", and that they are working with the manufacturers to build a solution. Looks like a fix, if any, will eventually be coming from Google.
(I can't link because of a stupid forum rule/spam filter that requires you to have 10 posts before linking, however, it's at the bottom of the Google support page for Android Auto.)

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and stumbled upon this topic on Google after I was experiencing issues with my newly acquired 4100NEX not grabbing a connection via through Android Auto on my Galaxy S5 (just got done an hour ago updating the firmware to 1.03). Has anybody tried using the Pioneer CD-MU200 cable in USB2 for their Samsung Galaxy S5's on these listed models?:
AVIC-8100NEX
AVIC-7100NEX
AVH-4100NEX
Because according to Pioneer that cable has to be hooked up to the USB2 port due to it only recognizing android devices from that port.. whereas USB1 port only recognizes Apple devices.

Yes, I have the 8100 with their recommended cable in the correct port and an s5 from Verizon. Same problem as everyone else, no voice.

Mine is completely disabled. When I double click the home button the Ok Google speech bar flashes for a second like it wants to kick in. This has to be something Samsung has done to disable Google voice from taking over from their S voice. I keep reading it is a Verizon issue but I still think it will be found to be a Samsung issue as I am yet to meet or see a post from anyone with an S5 or Note from any provider that functions properly. Info is obviously limited though with the population of users. This will probably take 6 months to fix until there are more people to ***** and moan about it.
Antagonist_prime has a note 3 running lollipop on sprint that is working with the 4100nex. His post is in the galaxy s6 not working thread.

Well, that blows my idea out of the water. I wonder what Verizon has done to the OS.
So glad I stumbled on this thread. I just tried buying that stupid MU cable which I'm 90% sure is just a USB extension cable and nothing happened. I guess now I just get to be angry at Samsung and Google - And myself for being an early adopter.

after reading the Galaxy S5 FAQ that is linked the Galaxy S5 forum here, there are so many versions of that phone, it's staggering. Verizon has done so much to the OS atop what Samsung has done that both their and ATT's S5 might as well be on an island. all of the upgrades, fixes etc. come from them. On that same document the S5 Active looks like one of the few that ends up being "pure Samsung" even on ATT (I think the only place where you can get it)
I finally got my android auto working 100% today, then I hit the mode button on my steering wheel (cycles through av inputs), and voice stopped working. So similar to what everyone else had been saying the voice would try to kick in, no sound, no mic working. I thought it has been working before, yet it now doesn't work makes no sense. Tried restarting 4100nex, tried restarting my phone, no luck. In the end I uninstalled android auto, and reinstalled it again using the apk file I downloaded. Perhaps try downloading the apk version of the app as it worked for me.
FYI: I have a samsung galaxy s5, not unlocked on rogers in Canada. I have an american purchased car and american purchased 4100nex.
I downloaded the apk file and installed it that way.
Btw, a fully working android auto is just unreal! Hope this helps some get theirs working!
Another note: I noticed a difference between using the standard usb 2.0 cable versus the usb 3.0 cable, the 3.0 cable definitely worked better, and has to be used in usb port 2 on the 4100nex.

I am also having issues with my Sprint Galaxy S5.... When i plug it in to the USB port #2 , the android auto logo pops up on my stereo AVH-4100NEX from Pioneer however when i click on it, it says something about(Android auto cannot connect right now. When it is safe to do so, please check your android phone.) And my phone says... (Your Device cannot support Android Auto)... I'm just hoping their will be an update soon so I can use Android Auto!!!

Your experience sounds the same as mine.
To get rid of your "Android Auto Can Not Connect Right Now" message, make sure your parking brake is applied (or that you have a bypass that mimics the parking brake function).
I think the most important thing to have updated for Android Auto right now is Google Play Services. Since you're on a Sprint S5, you may not have the issues those of us on VZW are with AA. Check your version by going into Settings > Applications > Application Manager to find Google Play Services and find the version you're on. If you're on 7.3 and above you just might be ready to go.
