Most of the issues with this app lie with the horrible software of the headunit. I have a high end model, DMH 4660. Updating the software on the headunit is a pain, and lots of features are difficult to use or poorly designed. Example: I should be able to activate Alexa any time and pipe the communication over Bluetooth to the Alexa on the phone. Instead there's some gimmicky alternative, it has to be connected over wifi and be in Alexa mode.

Edit - able to connect more often, may very well be my android phone is the culprit, updating to 4 stars because it is a handy feature. (Previous): Unable to connect to my Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX. Nice head unit, very pleased overall but constant CarAVAssist error message "the caravassist is not installed or awake" appears on the head unit whenever trying to synch.

The app is only useful to download firmware updates. It's not necessarily user-friendly to use but it gets the job done. Once updates are installed just delete the app rinse and repeat for any future updates. The 3800 series pioneer heads are amazing and work just fine without an app anyways.
