To play music AND videos from an Android phone (Samsung S4) do I need the connectivity kit (Pioneer CD-AH200) and/or the MirrorLink cable (Pioneer CD-MU200) ? I see it as needed to use these features, but not sure if it was just "suggested."

Just look on here(amazon) for an hdmi to Micro-USB cable.(thats what both of those kits are, over priced mhl cables.) It'll cost you about 7 to 8 dollars instead of the 60 or so pioneer tries to charge. That'll give you app radio compatibility. If you're just looking to run it off the phone as a file you can just plug in a data cable in the usb slot and use it that way. The important thing is to make sure your phone is mhl capable.

I only have the CD-BTB200 - not sure what the state 4 dex p99rs is - I have it plugged into a 2008-era Pioneer head unit. It worked great with my iPhone 4s, my HTC EVO, and my now my Motorola Razr HD Maxx. I've also used a few Blackberry's with it (8330s). It is cumbersome initially to pair it - takes a few minutes, but after that it works virtually 100% of the time. When I turn on my truck it automatically connects to my phone as both a phone and an audio source. Sound quality is excellent both ways.

What drivers does this require, if any? I have a Win7 HP computer that I want to connect to my Pioneer A/V system which feeds a Bose 5.1 surround system. The Pioneer has only HDMI inputs and 1-optical input. The HP has no HDMI or Optical outputs. Will this card feed the Pioneer. I only want to listen to Spotify and YouTube audio where appropriate. The computer's main task is to be a screen saver feed to the big screen Samsung.

I have an S4 and to be truthful, the CD-AH200 kit did me absolutely no good. With Samsung products, all you need is a HDMI cable, charging cable, and the 2.0 MHL adapter from Samsung. The MHL adapter included in the kit does nothing for Samsungs. In other words, this kit a waste of money for Samsungs. Cheaper to get your own HDMI cable, charging cable, and the Samsung 2.0 MHL adapter ( Samsung Open Box MHL 2.0 HDTV Adapter )

you have to download software. The cd that came with the unit provides the software links, as well as older, dated, software. Also, on android, you can find an app to view recoded files and real-time streaming.

If your phone will play it, it should work with this. I don't use Spotify, but Pandora, Youtube, any video on Chrome have all gone to the speaker.

Just an FYI:I'd suggest anyone read the Touch spec's very carefully. If using a USB drive connected to the Touch then the music files must be in a format *native* to the Touch. There is no transcoding using the Touch's inbuilt server.Also, Digital outs from Touch to AVR/receiver will work great, but then you are bypassing one of Touch's great selling points being it's very good DAC. Most AVR/receiver DAC's will not be as good as is included with the Touch.

I do not have an Android but using my iPhone, I can direct music to it from that device or an iPad or even an AppleTV. I use the iTunes app to direct music to it which allows me to have music on multiple devices. I believe the speakers support DLMA but I have never used that.

I have only been able to use the headphone jack. When I connect the USB, it doesn't seem to access Android music files. So it will play your Spotify songs, but you will have to change the song on the phone screen, not via the remote control. Also, I kind of agree with Mr. Hernandez' answer.

This appears to depend on the phone and what app you're playing music from. I have a Lumia 920 and it seems to display metadata in all apps, but will only autoplay upon connecting from the phones internal memory. I tried an LG G2 and metadata does not display from Beats Music or Amazon music, but it does show up through Google music, however none of them will autoplay. With an S4, metadata works in all apps I have tried, but autoplay only works sometimes. My boyfriend has the double din version from this line and it autoplays with metadata for all apps on both the S4 and Lumia, but not on the G2. THere is a compatability list on the Pioneer website, but it appears to be useless as the info is incorrect for all devices that I have experimented with and it implies that the phones work the same across quite a few stereo models and I can tell you that this is not the case.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works great with Bluetooth. It connects automatically when you get in the car. It comes set to only play out of the front speakers through Bluetooth, just make sure to change that setting so that it uses all the speakers. You can't change the display color, it's always blue, but you can change the color of the buttons or just let it cycle through all of them.

I have returned this product for a different one. I was able to connect to receiver via my phone BT but wasn't able to play music. May be it need the receiver.

You have to use an iphone or ipod. you cannot get the android to work as an external device. i have called pioneer and they say they have no planes to expand native beyond VTuner. Other than this major shortcoming(which if you read there writeup its somewhat confusing on if they have the native capability) its a decent device. dont think i would have purchased it though had i known this.

I tried with my Nexus 4 and it's not working...I saw on Denon website that you can stream music from android phone using dlna but I still cannot figure how to do it.

Yes, for S4 if you wants mirroring capability to your LED TV. But get the genuine or you will be disappointed like I do with my order( it won't work at all) while some others were successful. ????????

First, kitkat means that is in the version 4.4x of android not in the ver. 4.2.2 (jellybean), and for me works in a Xperia Z2 smartphone but the pioneer´s mirrorlink is very slow i mean the experience is really bad, for me maybe a 4/10, but maybe you have more lucky!! try by yourself!

The Pioneer DDJ-S1 is natively compatible with Virtual DJ, which means you should be able to use them together by just plugging the S1 to your pc and starting the software. No need for mapping
