When I first installed it I did not have the radio antenna connected, so it was working fine (apart from some minor bugs). Since I connected it with the radio it has stopped working (and yes, I checked the options more than 10 times and yes my usb cable is working since the phone is in charging mode when I connect it). I literally bought this radio for the app compatibility and it does not work. I feel like I was ripped off.

I can say without any doubt this app is useless. I have played with all settings, multiple phones and cables on each. I have gone over the settings more than once and nothing I do allows the audio from spotify to play through the car speakers. The company has not replied to many of the comments and seems uninterested in this useless software. If you allow this app as the default it will continue to run and you cannot end task. Don't waste your time.

Cool concept, poor execution. I thought it was a cool feature to have an app connect to my head unit but the app hardly connects, it keeps running on my phone even when I'm not close to the car, and the app is outdated and practically useless. If you want to use Spotify, you can just connect to the head unit with Bluetooth without needing this app. Only thing this is useful for is color settings for display/keys and EQ settings which you won't be adjusting often.

I use MVH-S110UI and Huawei nova 5t Android 10. The app is trying to connect, but it loops and never connects. The only way I can stop the loop is to disconnect the usb cable. Otherwize it shows on the phone and on the player connect then disconnected so fast that I can't stop the app because it appear on the front of the screen of the phone.

P30 Pro - Pioneer Mvh-190ui not working When I connect the phone to headset, it freaks out. Immediately the Pionner Arc enters a loop and tries to starts repeatedly on my device. The same occurs with headset. It tries to change to USB mode It sucks because i bough this Pionner product for ARC feature
