Android Auto Part Deaux
Somewhere in the update stream for AA, my Note 9 and Pioneer AVX realized they could chat without the USB attached. A little surprising when AA popped up on the screen and the phone was not attached yet.
My SO's Apple does that all the time already, and it is annoying when their phone bogarts my Pioneer head unit!
Now there is a new annoying thing. It keeps saying that the connection to the head unit is weak, and it says it over and over and over. It never says that about the Apple device. Only the Note 9 (with a headphone jack!)
I messed around with settings to make it stop doing wireless connections and finally had to turn off the wireless IN the head unit. Good news, now the Apple devices do not snarf up the head unit. Bad news, ever now and then, the head unit randomly re-enabled the wifi, and I start getting all the 'poor signal' message again.
I see why this was a stealth release. Not ready for prime time at all.
It has gotten to be second nature to swipe away the offer to try the new version of AA as well. I wonder how long I'll be able to do that. With my luck, they will fix the wireless connection and take away the AA cards at the same time.
I'm getting an iPhone at my new job for my work device. I may have to switch to that.
