Damn. I got the hub from Tasca. I confirmed the part number from earlier in the thread. They must have sent the wrong one. Thanks for the help.

Hoping someone that has Sync3 V2.2 with Nav installed and using iPhone 6 or higher can do a little test for me.

1st a little history of my issue. Running Pandora via USB connection typically freezes more than it works for me. As you can imagine this is very frustrating. Also when it does work not all voice commands related to Pandora work properly. Also some voice commands for Pandora aren't working.

So the 1st request is: Does V2.2 correct Pandora freezing issue while using USB connection?

Second request is:

The following commands are not working properly for me and would appreciate if someone can test and report back if they work properly with Sync3 V2.2

"List my stations"
"Play [Station Name]"

Many Thanks,

I have an amazon basics cable and it works. Cable is certified, so it does have the chip in it that's needed. Some 3rd party cables are not certified so they may or may not work.

I installed the 2.2 update tonight and it went pretty smooth, about 20 minutes for the first file and about 10 - 15 for the second file. Went very well, no hiccups, I did verify the checksum prior to installing them and the check came out right. I think I need to go get a better USB cable because the apps do not pick up AA when I am connected by USB. I went into the AA settings on the Sync3 and it is enabled. I did see on my phone settings that the settings for USB connected are:
Charging only
File Transfer
Photo Transfer
MIDI
and another option for troubleshooting when connected to a PC

Any ideas which setting I should have it on? It's a Samsung Galaxy Edge 6 Plus cell.
Thanks in Advance and great job getting this update posted.

it's probably the cable, make sure you have the Android Auto app installed from the play store, and then you shouldn't need to go to Mobile apps, the mobile Apps button should say Android Auto. I'm and Android developer, and I end up buying a new cable every couple months, takes very little wear for the cable to no longer work (tho it will still charge your phone)

I would suggest you message the administrator of the site and ask to change your username. Not usually a good idea to have it the same as your email. Lots of spam and phishing attempts coming your way my friend.
