I recently switched from an iPhone 5 to a Note 4. Apple products worked great with my Kenwood receiver but it only supports Android phones that support mass storage mode. Since the Note 4 does not support this mode I cannot get it to integrate with my receiver built in 2010. I tried using the aux port (like a peasant) and it was a pain in the ass to pick up my phone to switch tracks and the volume had to be maxed.
I like good audio but I'm no audiophile. My target price is $100 to $150 but higher is no problem if the feature set makes it worth while. Who makes a good Android compatible unit? Is this still an issue these days or has it been worked out?
I'm asking these questions because I don't want to spend 30 min to an hour replacing a head unit to find out it won't work with my phone. I prefer just using the USB since it charges the phone at the same time but I'm open to BT if the audio quality isn't compromised (which as far as I have heard in the past doesn't exist, but its been a while since I tried BT audio so maybe things have changed.)
