About this app
Pioneer’s Advanced Remote Control (Pioneer ARC) app converts your Android smartphone* into a powerful touchscreen remote control, which allows you to control and customise your compatible Pioneer car stereo.
Pioneer ARC lets you browse your favourite music, switch sources (FM, DAB, Bluetooth Audio, etc), launch 3rd party apps, customise the illumination colours and audio settings of your Pioneer system.
Pioneer ARC features are depending on the compatible Pioneer headunit itself.
*The Pioneer ARC app is compatible with Android smartphones running 4.1 and above.
For USB connections
This function is compatible with a phone that runs Android 4.1 up to 7.1.2 and also supports AOA (Android Open Accessory) 2.0, but the compatibility depends on the smartphone.
Some Android devices connected via AOA 2.0 may not work properly or emit sounds due to their own software design, regardless of the OS version.

App works great for control of my head unit. 1 star, because when im not connected to anything, and not using the app, it randomly starts playing some weird symphony sounding music on my phone. This happens randomly at all hours (12:45 a.m. this time). i only figured out it was this app after closing all running apps, and then force stopping apps until the music stopped, when I forced ARC to stop. It happened again, i went straight to forcing this app to stop, and the music stopped.

worked fine with my old android phone. I upgraded to a galaxy s9+ and now I cant get my phone to play through the radio via USB. my unit does not have bluetooth, so I deleted the app. reinstalled it today and it shows the music information on my radio screen, but the sound is coming out of my phones speaker....unless you have any ideas of how to make it work( and turning off the debugging doesn't work, I tried the last time before I deleted it.), I will be deleting it again.

This app is crapp. After installing the head unit and doing nothing to it but setting the time, I tried to install ARC on my phone. So far, it refuses to recognize the wired connection (despite what the salesman said, the head unit does not support Bluetooth) even though I set the head unit to use the wired connection. The app insists on shutting down and waiting for the Bluetooth connection and there is no way to override this in ARC. USB debugging has nothing to do with this because I mistakenly assumed that some other poster's suggestion to enable USB debugging would somehow fix everything. Wrong. Pioneer needs to stick with making electronics. They do a fantastic job with that. Producing apps or putting their names on third party apps? Not such a good idea.
