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 customize your compatible Pioneer car stereo.
Pioneer ARC lets you browse your favorite music, switch sources (FM tuner, Bluetooth Audio, etc), launch 3rd party apps, customize the illumination colors and audio settings of your Pioneer system.

Compatible features vary by model.

*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.

Ratings and reviews

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.

Important for getting app to connect via Bluetooth or USB. A bug in the arc software prevents connection via the source button. EVEN IF YOU TRY TO USE THE RECONNECT BUTTON. To get this working, you need to force the stereo to start the app on your phone, Make sure you are on any source but "APP" and then hold down the volume knob button for 5 seconds to start the pioneer app on your phone. You will now be connected! Hope this helps! Original post from "Hensperformance"
