IPhone IOS vs Android
#3
Works great on my Android GS4 and Note3. Unless you want to take advantage of Siri hands free, I don't think it makes much of a difference.

I have no issue on my iPhones but on my Samsung Note 3 the music won't start automatically. Everything connects fine though and the phone part works great, it just doesn't play music automatically after I get back to the car like my iPhone does. Same thing with my Galaxy S4 before and now the Note 3 is doing the same thing.
Any ideas?

HTC One M8 owner here. Android works better than IOS, comparing the feature list alone. IOS doesn't allow the head unit to reply to messages, etc. due to its locked nature. Just get the newest and most modern phone in the Android lineup.
However, when it comes to playing music from the phone, IOS devices work better due to the known way they handle and group music. My phone is wacky compared to the tiny iPod I have plugged in via USB. Bluetooth also can be spotty depending on RF interference.
So for full-blown features, Android wins hands down. For predictability at the cost of a limited feature set, IOS.

There are multiple factors. Right now, Android and IOS are very even, why wouldn't I include the integration with the car? And yes, I have the potential of being in the car quite a bit depending on my consulting engagement.

My Sony Xperia Z1 Compact plays automatically after BT is connected and my old HTC One S did it too. I am using Google Play Music. When I played MP3 using native Sony app called Walkman it worked fine also. Car starts playing immediatelly using app what was used lastest on phone.
The negative point on Android devices for music is that album booklet isn't shown on car's display.

Head unit is the magic box in the dash that handles all the Bluetooth and music functions as well as navigation and all that business.
