Android Compatibility

In 2012, the Pioneer Car Electronics Division is focused on exceeding the expectations of the “connected” consumer. As a leader in the car electronics industry, Pioneer is offering the widest selection of connectivity options for the Android smartphone user...more than any other aftermarket manufacturer. Android users can now enjoy music, apps, and information that are on the phone, directly on the display of the Pioneer receiver.

AppRadio 2 is compatible with many of the latest Android phones with the new Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) or a micro HDMI connection. Please check back in Spring 2012 for a list of verified Android smartphones.

The 2012 product line of CD, DVD, and Navigation receivers that feature built-in Bluetooth® have a capability of wirelessly streaming audio and track metadata to the unit with basic control from your Android device.

A2DP profile for audio streaming.
AVRCP profile for audio control (track metadata available on 2012 AVIC and AVH models with AVRCP 1.3).
SPP (Serial Port Profile) for full, on-screen control of Pandora® internet radio and Aha™ Radio apps (when installed on Android device) on AVIC-Z140BH and AVIC-X940BT.
