Default Android phone with C6 GM NAV?

Is there any way to do it like the PAL style connection?

How about using Android with a Pioneer Z120BT?

Any experiences?

Thinking of switching from iPhone to an Evo and GM Nav to aftermarket.

With aftermarket you have 2 choices:

1) BT Audio: Play audio off your phone to the head unit, you have limited control from the headunit (like play/pause, next/prev track in playlist)
2) Use your phone as a usb mass-storage device. The Pioneer will see it like a thumb drive and will catalog the music on it and let you select, artist/album/genre through the headunit.

You are SOL if you keep the GM Nav.

So even with an aftermarket Nav there is no real Android software interface like there is with an iPhone?

You would think with all of the industries Windows bias that there would be Android support at this point. Heck even the Avic Feeds app is windows only for the desktop.

I am a Mac user and an iPhone owner and while I really like the iPhone Android is doing some great stuff. Add in the fact that I am completely fed up with ATT's service and I am ready to make the switch.
