Android Auto on Galaxy S7 not working with Pioneer AVH-X8700BT

i have a Pioneer AVH-X8700BT and it is both IOS Auto & Android Auto compatible.
Problem is it works fine with an iphone 6s but when i tried it with my new samsung galaxy s7 nothing works!
i tried using both Android Auto and the Mirrolink mode but both nothing.
Tried restarting both car device and phone but nothing.
Also tried with a samsung galaxy s6 and also nothing.
Any ideas?

Same issue here.
My S7 won't connect via Android Auto either. (VW Golf)

Do you have a setting inside the radio for pairing? At least with my radio you have to activate pairing to see the radio

Had the same problem with my S7 Edge from Verizon with my Pioneer 8100NEX. Finally figured out that I have to change the USB options to get it work. After you connect the USB cable, pull down the notification drawer and look for "Connected for charging" notification". Tap that and change "Use USB for" to "Transferring media files". Android Auto worked after that for me.
I didn't have to do this with my S4. Unfortunately for the S7 I have to do this every time I connect my phone. I found this thread because I'm looking for a way to make it the default but haven't had any luck yet.

I had the same problem. Thanks for posting this. Now I also am looking to set the default functionality. Crazy to have to manually switch this every time.
Thanks,

If this works for you to connect - the default functionality can be found under developer options. You can manually force charging, MTP etc there. USB debugging - off / USB configuration - MTP
This is a known official marshmallow issue not isolated to GS7 , LGG5 has same issue listed in google support page. some devices (like my GS7) will not connect after switching USB connection options. I have tried every mode and mine will not work - need a more advanced workaround. I also can't root phone because of corporate network restrictions.

Anyone have an update on this? I have the same issue using Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. I've enabled the developer options and enabled USB Debugging and MTP for the USB connection type with no success. I also can't change options with the connection type in the notification panel.

My S7 Edge Duos seemed to require the disabling of Car Mode as it was interfering with AA's connection. It's a default Samsung piece of unneeded. You can download "Package Disabler Pro for Samsung" from the Playstore. It will allow you to disable apks and stubs without root. I disabled Car Mode and now AA works with the Pioneer 8100 I have. the S7 worked fine with the wife's '16 Accord and AA which was my sticking point. I guess the Pioneers support Car Mode and Mirrorlink so it confuses the hell out of the deck. It's worth the 0.99 cents to see if this works for you. You can also disable all the other bloatware you don't want with it. So it's kind of a win/win for a buck.

Hi I have a Pioneer AVH X8890bt and I want to connect my s6 edge to appradio, however, everytime i plug my phone to the usb it gets connected to android auto, Could anyone guide me as to how to establish a connection. Also, there is a HDMI port at the back of my system and I have learnt that to connect a samsung device you need miracast dongle, so if I buy a dongle will i be able to use the touch function of my car audio or everytime I will have to be dependent on my phone. Please advice.

Car Bluetooth not detecting my S7

Hi All,
Not sure if this is possible, but thought its worth asking...
I've upgraded from the S6 to the S7 and we couldn't get the Bluetooth to detect in the car.
It doesn't appear in the list, the S6 worked just fine - or so I thought...
I had the S6 originally configured with Lollipop and the OTA pushed me to Marshmallow, didn't have any issues with Bluetooth - until I wiped the S6 to factory settings and attempted to connect my car.
The S6 on MM didn't find the car Bluetooth, I downgraded to Lollipop on the S6 and I was able to detect and connect to the Car Audio successfully. I've upgraded to MM now after being successfully paired to the car and everything is fine with the S6.
I really want to get this up and running on my S7 - otherwise I'll need to sell it and replace it with something else... As most of you are aware MM is the first release on the S7 so I can't downgrade... I tried it on a Nexus 6P with MM, that worked just fine, it might be a touchwiz thing?
I don't think the car is capable of a firmware upgrade to fix this - its a BMW 118i 2008 with the "Professional Radio"
I've searched a few forums - no such luck finding one.
Guys, I'm open to suggestions to try and make this work...
I've tried Bluetooth apps in the play store, no luck so far, I've tried clearing the cache as I've read in a post, I've reset the phone twice...
The S6/S7 is not rooted, not sure if there are any ROMs out there or modem upgrades that could possibly resolve this.
Thanks all,

I am aware you already cleared cache, but just to make sure everything here is tried at the same time in the same run.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager
Find Bluetooth and Force Stop it
Now clear the cache and data
Now find Bluetooth Share and repeat the same process
Reboot and start the next section
Now you'll need to make sure you're trying to pair it correctly with your vehicle
Insert remote control all the way into the ignition lock
Switch on ignition without operating the brake or clutch or pressing the start/stop button
Press the Menu button
Press the controller to open the "i" menu
Select "Settings" and press the controller
Select "Bluetooth" and press the controller
Move the highlight marker to the second field from the top, select "Phone" and press the controller.
Select "Pair new phone" and press the controller
Select "Start pairing" and press the controller
The bluetooth name of the vehicle should now be displayed on your phone
That is taken directly from your manual I believe. If that still doesn't work are you sure that you don't have too many devices paired to your car? Try deleting an old phone or two from your car to see if that clears things up.
Also, I do think you are able to do updates for your vehicle.

Connecting S3 with my One + 2

hi all, trying to connect the s3 with my one plus 2.
i've got the app installed and trying to connect it to the watch but it just fails to find the watch.
if i look in the bluetooth menu i can see the phone listed but when i try and pair, it won't pair.
the one plus isn't running the original OS either, but shouldn't cause an issue?

anyone?

Screen Mirror to Samsung SmartTv

How can I mirror my phone screen to Samsunng Smart TV? I tried few Samsung Apps but without success. Did any one manage to do it? Also After I have installed Smartview app I can use my phone as a Pilot but I must first turn it on :S I could turn on/off my TV using Galaxy S8+ without problem...

Ok so I found it and want to share if someone will also have any problems.
This is built in feature.
Go to: Settings > Bluetooth &device connection > Connection preferences > Cast
Of course you need to be connected to the same network as your TV.
It works pretty nice.
Good luck all!

And just faced another problem. I can screen cast to my Samsung Smart TV without problem but when I try to do it on the older Samsung Smart TV version at my parents-in-law I have a problem.
First of all phone is finding TV very slowly and when it is found, I click to connect then it tries to connect, I get notification on TV that OnePlus is trying to connect and after 2-3 secods I get info on TV - disconnected and screen cast stops on my phone.
Using 9.5.4 EU soft version, TV is up to date.
Any ideas?
