Using the USB2, drivers can now control their Android phone from the car radio or steering wheel controls.

They may can see and control playlists, artists and albums.  The device also charges the Android phone or tablet.  Factory radios compatible with the USB2  include those from Toyota, Ford, GM, Honda, Mazda, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and others.

The AALinQ will also work with the GROM-MST3 adapter.
