[Android General] stewbuntu:
FYI the volume buttons work on my steering wheel using Idatalink Maestro ADS-MSW steering wheel adapter. Seems like one day the change track for pandora etc when hitting Channel "CH" buttons as with bluetooth and I assume drivelink does as well could work if this is the case. Just thought you may want to know half of it is working.

Not sure what changed in my phone/sequence of detachment from AR3, but tonight Pandora did not turn off automatically when turning off the car. It did 3+ times the other day when I tried to find the best/fastest boot sequence.

Common issues and Links to the answers could go in the OP to solve a bunch of questions I see pooping up so here are some links if you don't have time.

If you can get the on/off shortcuts to work with Screen Standby then you can set up quick luanch icons in Notification toggle, edge: quick actions, or multicon widget to quickly accomplish your goal. The note 2 may have issues with the on&off shortcuts and has been reported.

Quick luancher apps to navigate these options above, toggles, bluetooth setting, apps, and such while using the AR3:

If you are getting snow:

The problem is your cords or your phones' socket

If it is your cord, which is most of the time:

Cord options that are the best Pioneer kit with adapter pins directly from the manufactures website NOT ebay or amazon. The internet if flooded with fake adapters and they create snow. Those who have tried a lot of options report these are the best options. The MHL adapters from ebay and amazon including samsung/ other oem/ and non oem such as skiva create snow vs the pioneer MHL kit.

Recap: YOU WANT the pioneer kit (the MHL adapter), with tip adapter from you manufactures website. NOT AMAZON It has been said there are not authorized Samsung sellers on Amazon. Just search Amazon for a note 2 charger to see that it can look legit, but is not.
