Hot Garbage

This sucks. It works, it doesn’t work, they “update” and break it…now it doesn’t work, and when I search for instructions to update, it says I need an SD card.
I have preferred Pioneer for thirty years, but I will NEVER buy another one of their products.

Dumb

Absolutely no reason to have an app for this. Another scam

DOES NOT WORK

I have a DEH-s31BT head unit. I have tried everything under the sun to make this app work INCLUDING making sure my unit’s software is up to date, and it still won’t connect.

Absolute garbage.
