Takes *maybe* 10mins from start to finish. 20 mins if you include the trip to the store, lol.

Super easy, save the move and get "last years" 4000/8000 model.
:
The new 4100/8100 do say they are Android Auto compatible which the 4000/8000 aren't. I don't know whether they support it out of the box or if it's another one of Pioneer's "Yeah we will support sometime in the distant future" like they did with CarPlay.

Not sure, I will try to find out and PM you.
