Ok so I know iOS 10.2 no longer works on Uconnect 8.4 with nav. It just says device unplayable or unreadable or other dumb nonsense. Earlier iOS 10.1.1 or 10.1.2 or even older work just fine with pandora or iHeartRadio. What other phones work for playing iHeartRadio or pandora through the factory USB media hub?

Any android phone will work fine. No problem with my Samsung galaxy S7 edge with latest updates.

I wanted to get a Google pixel but have heard it does not work, so I'm sticking with my note 4 for the time being

Glad to hear android works. I'm an iHeartRadio Gina tic and spend a ton of time in my truck. It's nothing to put 60k on a vehicle in 10 months so music is a must. I'm not a fan of music quality via Bluetooth so the ability to integrate through the USB hub is a huge necessity. I guess I'll take my fire chances with another galaxy lol

My iPhone 7 works just fine with iOS 10.2 on my RA3 radio....

My 6s will not work ever since I updated to 10.2. My fiancé has a 6s+ with 10.1.1 and it works flawlessly.

I have a new 7+ and just upgraded to 10.2 this weekend. I didn't have an issue connecting my phone this morning. I have the 8.4A radio.

via usb streaming? I was told specifically by apple support that 10.2 no longer supports usb streaming. Bluetooth streaming is the way of the future according to them so they put their efforts into updating the Bluetooth structure of the new phones and update 10.2. I say ba humbug I prefer my cable.

I have a Pixel XL and don't have any issues. The trick is using Smart Lock to keep the phone from locking while it's connected to the Uconnect via bluetooth. If the phone locks it kills the bluetooth communication.
