Installed a Pioneer dmh-2660 NEX deck and it is great. Google assistant works great. I love Alexa and have several at my home so, it's nice having Alexa in the car, although I found that not all functions are available, like announcements. That's a downer. And, it makes absolutely no sense that you have to touch the icon to activate Alexa! If the app is open and connected, why would it not be voice enabled with the wake word for a complete hands-free driving experience??? Needs to be fixed.

I have installed a Pioneer DMH-C2550NEX head unit and installed this app. It's cool to have Alexa available in the car. However I don't really understand why it only works when my phone is unlocked and the screen is mirrored. The phone gets hot in this state. If you have an Amazon Prime Music subscription you have a world of content at your fingertips. Otherwise you still have Iheart, Pandora, tunein, etc plus weather, sports, and news

Installed/uninstalled 4 times. Force stopped. Reset my brand new pixel 8, updated play store and security, even had Google call me. This app will not stay open no matter what. Will stay open for 2 seconds, then closes. Pioneer said, " Huh. That's a new one on us. We've not heard of that issue before." (Long sigh) Uninstalled, and I'm returning my new 2550Nex head unit. I'm going back to Kenwood.
