Hi

I have a Pioneer DMH-ZF9350BT in the Crysta & a Pioneer AVH-Z5090BT in the Jazz. Both worked fairly flawlessly until now. I used to use a Samsung Note 9.




I purchased a Samsung S22 Ultra phone (Awesome phone, BTW!) when it was released. Being the latest Samsung flagship, it obviously has Android 12.


The older 5090BT simply refuses bring up Android Auto. The music plays just fine. So, I am reduced to using it as a BT only phone.

In the newer 9350BT, it connected fine but freezes every once in a while. Mostly GPS freezes. The work around seems to be to power down the HU and power back on. It works but is not stable.


I raised the issue to Samsung Community & Pioneeer support. Samsung has ignored the issue until now but at least a lot of people seem to have the issue

My post in the Samsung community is here

Pioneer responded - after asking me to reset everything they said "would like to apprise you that it seems to be compatibility Android Auto issue with your Android 12 device" (Seriously, Sherlock? )

Both cars & the phone have the latest firmware updates installed

I tried various cables, including original Pioneer & Samsung ones. No luck

So, has anyone else faced the issue? Any workarounds until now?

If not, check this before you buy. Hopefully Samsung will release a patch which improves BT Backward Compatibility.

Try this on your phone, and see if it works:

1. Under location services, disable Bluetooth and Wifi scanning
2. Open android auto settings on your phone and disable wireless Android auto

Good luck. Will post if anything else comes to mind!

No luck lxskllr

Still does not work

Pioneer has basically asked me to take a walk

The fix is on the way. Seems like the beta version has the fix implemented and is working fine. I'm waiting for the official version.

Mine is S22 and I'm also facing the same issue!
