Stereo Install Questions

Hi everyone. I recently ordered a Pioneer AVH-2300NEX to replace the factory head unit in my 2013 CX-5, mainly to get the addition of Android Auto. I'm trying to decide on which steering wheel adapter to use. I was leaning towards the Maestro SW model but also considering the Axxess ASWC-1. Has anyone installed either of these and have any comments on functionality?

Aside from that the parts I am ordering for the install are

Backup Camera Adapter - AX-MAZCAM-6V
Dash kit - Metra 95-7522B
-Wiring Harness - https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)
Antenna Adapter - Metra 40-hd10

Aside from those parts does anyone know of an adapter that works to connect the factory USB port to the pioneer headunit and work with android Auto? I have read some reviews that say the AX-MAZUSB does not work with android auto and only charges the phone. If that is the case I was thinking about getting https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned) adapter and mounting it in the center console or getting one with a longer cord and mounting it in the armrest storage compartment.
 
I did check with them. The only items that they did not have an answer to were using the maestro sw vs the axxess aswc-1 and if the usb adapter AX-MAZUSB would work with Android Auto.
