You don't have to use it but if you want to adjust the settings you will need it...

I ask the same question on G+ when I first got the Pixel and the response as I remember "Yes it works but why would you want to use it that way." The guy was right. I've had it since September and never have thought of or had need to use it that way. Hope you are able to get a definitive answer.

Yes you can. It's not too difficult. First launch Google Now, scroll to the bottom and hit the menu button (three dots), Settings, Voice, check the 'Bluetooth headset' box. Download a free app called 'Bluetooth Launch' from the Play Store. Launch it and it will load a list of all your apps. Go to the Google Search one, expand it, and choose com.google.android.quicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity. When you press and hold the button on the Kinivo BTC450 you'll hear a beep after two seconds or so. Your phone will then prompt for you to choose which app to launch. Select Bluetooth Launch and set it as your default. It should now launch a Google Now search box and start listening. You can execute voice commands from here. After the initial setup it'll just launch the action by default. It works for me even when the screen is off. Just remember to speak loudly and towards your bluetooth adapter because it'll be listening from that as opposed to your phone's microphone. The little circle around the microphone will turn red when it actually hears what you're saying vs grey when it doesn't. I initially had a problem with this messing up media that was playing. This was because I originally didn't check off the 'Bluetooth Headset' box in Google Now's settings. I hope this helps! Keep in mind. Single pressing the button is pause/play. Long-pressing the button will trigger that button command. I've noticed on my Nexus 5 that occasionally the microphone on the Google Search bar on the home screen will become hollow instead of solid white. I know that this is normal during media playback so that it doesn't recognize stuff from songs you're playing. If I have music playing, long-press that button on this adapter, the music will pause, and then Google Search can hear me and function normally. On some rare occasions the microphone icon will stay hollow despite music not playing. I'm not really sure what causes this but restarting the phone fixes it.

Yes you can use with android. On my tl I can use my my steering wheel to skip tracks in pandora. You won't see text of sound track

It connects via Bluetooth no problem. My phone never leave my pocket, in fact. Can't comment on Pandora as I use Google Play Music. On my Moto X, I can receive texts, send them, makes and receive calls, get navigation cues and listen to music all with my phone never leaving my pocket. I do use Motorola mobility, Google voice, and Sony's mobile app. I don't think I actually need the don't app now though.

I have paired it with MapMyRide and Cyclemeter, and it works well with both, I don't know about its functionality with Runtastic.

You still have to use the controls in your iTouch. That's how it works in my car and I have a Rouge. I hope that helps.

I still use and love mine and much prefer over any cellphone with Google maps. ( Why does google show streets in pale grey against a bright white background? And why do they use tiny fonts, the size of ant droppings?) Easier to use and much easier to read, easier to see where you are going and need to go. The main thing I would check up on is speedcam, and red light cam, speed trap notifications and real time POI updates. If you have lifetime map updates your part of the way there. I think newer units have advanced features.One feature the 370 has that some newer units lack is bicycle routes. I still use and love mine and much prefer over any cellphone with Google maps.

I think it will depend on the App to have these functionalities. I only used the Wahoo and Cyclemeter apps and its only have the options to play/pause, reward and forward

I have not tried it with Google Now, but it does work with Siri. I press and hold the main button and Siri comes up with no problem. The only issue I've had is that background noise sometimes confuses Siri, but this is a problem with Siri and not the Kinivo.

There is one button on the mic but it has three different ways to activate it. I tested these on my Motorola Moto X with Spotify playing in the background. 1) Single press: Pauses playback; 2) Double press: Next track; 3) Press and hold: Brings up Voice Control so you wouldn't have to say "Ok, Google Now";

I'm using it as a std moniter and have thrown away the box, I don't believe it' s multitouch compatible

The Touch Free Sensor on my Panasonic DMP-BDT210 has not worked since we first set it up. I then read that there is a setting to turn it on and and off. I located it in the settings screen under "other" and it was set to off. I turned it on but still does not work. Everything else seems to work fine so it is not really a deal breaker for me. But would be interested to know if you guys found a way to fix yours.

Yes but the heart rate monitor works with the Motoactv watch. The watch displays heart rate and steps and calories burned. No phone required.
