Infuriating!

This app is a nightmare to use, to the point where I will be taking my pioneer stereos out and replacing. It constantly puts warning messages up, constantly connects/ disconnects Bluetooth, seems to have no app memory so every time I get to my car I have to mess with setting to get it to connect. I just can’t understand how it’s so hard to make a reliable app. I wish my stereo worked straight off my phone Bluetooth but it won’t connect without the app installed 😤

You Will Own Nothing And Be Happy

Remember when things just worked? Well, not any more. Pioneer needs your email address, photos, contacts and more. Enjoy agreeing to three pages of legal gibberish. Any sort of music playback is incidental.
