This app is a godsend for my wife and my Pixel 2 on Android 10 (Q) and Pi. Weblink for JVC would not work but this has made our JVC head unit FINALLY operational 100% of the time after the last 5 days. We used to sit in the car trying to get things working for 5 mins and then giving up. Even put a Bluetooth speaker in the car to listen to music/books/phone since the JVC head unit was so unreliable. Felt the purchase was a complete waste until this app.

3 JVC apps and none of them work for the KW-AV61, why would it say it has bluetooth but never connects and the USB port never links. Worst headunit I think I've bought next to the 2000s Sony explode from Advanced auto parts.
