You would never have this problem if you weren't so poor and bought your wife an Apple Car.

I've never tried Apple car play, but Android Auto is worth changing a head unit for. I was very skeptical before I bought my GM truck this year with an Android Auto compatible unit and I couldn't be happier. I am still waiting for Waze to be added, but it is great even without it.

Google maps has live traffic data from all of the Android phones around and will lead you to the path of least resistance towards your planned destination... I know you can use Google maps on your phone, but it works better on the head unit.

If you do change the head unit make sure it has Car Play & Android Auto capability and i think you will be happy you did.

So I bought my wife a car that came with an Alpine head unit with USB.

I can plug my android in to play music but if she plugs her iPhone in she gets a "unknown device" error and can't play music or charge it.

Wtf Apple. Why must you make everything so fricking hard. You ruin the simplest things that should not require extra effort.

I guess I'm going shopping for a fricking Apple-blessed stereo now.



How are you so stupid that you can't make simple shite work when even your wife understands?

He didn't say that. It's probably just his wife not being comfortable with something she doesn't understand.


He's already said that before in previous threads. His wife's business could not communicate properly without Apple technology. Android technology did not operate properly or fit her use case.

I use an iPhone 6, an iPad Mini, a Gmail account, a DropBox account and a Brother Printer to run my Business. Yet another example of how a lot of the time, just as their Marketing states, Apple just works...

Try not to choke on that bile as you angrily type out a sarcastic, diffident response about how Android was created on the 8th day from a combination of Aphrodite's placenta and Shiva's ejaculate...

NOPE

The CDE-126BT doesn't support audio streaming through Bluetooth. It only supports Bluetooth HFP and HSP profiles, which are used for hands-free phone functions. For streaming audio, the head unit must be equipped with A2DP profile. Your head unit doesn't have it, so you won't be able to listen to music through Bluetooth with this deck.

I really dont care as i have no idea of any of the details of his wife's business but are you under the impression that you can't run a business on android with those limited items you listed(if you switched an iphone for a android phone and an ipad Mini for an android tablet)?

I love when something doesn't work, a persons first instinct is to blame the product instead of taking time to research why it doesn't work.

No, but you clearly blamed Apple (which is still a product) for it not working

The charging part is well deserved. Why in the hell would they make it to where it would not charge?

No. I'm not. But I have no need to as what I do and how I do it works seamlessly via mainly iOS based hardware/software products.
