meall, I didn't say non apple apps would not be able to work with Carplay...I said for more apps (especially one's Apple will NEVER approve like Google Maps) to work, likely a jailbreak tweak would have to be developed. A developer cannot have their app CarPlay compatible without Apple authorizing it to do so.

LOL. Not the case bud. Apple will decide what apps can be "optimized" not the developers. It will take a jailbreak tweak to get into the guts of the carplay code and "trick" it to show on screen.

Would love to see a jailbreak tweak for Carplay that would allow more apps to work. Anyone jailbroken on iOS8 yet and see any tweaks being developed?

Ya, for me it's not necessarily required to have the built in Navigation as I can use CarPlay for that. I want to hook up an Android Navigation box for more than just Google Maps and can get one that has the RGB + touch interface cable that replicates the functionality of the Pioneer U260 Navigation Box. Anyway, wondering if anyone knows if this will work on the AR4.....I like the overall look of the AR4 with the flat front and clean lines...I have the NEX4000 in my car now and hate that bottom stickout button bar...

I still haven't found any Canadian retailers or online sellers for the AR4. Anyone out there know of any Canadian release? Timing? Also, I notice on the back of both the AR4 and the NEX4000 there is that yellow RGB plug in that can be used for iPhone VGA connection AND Navigation ready hideaway box. Now, the navigation ready feature is listed on NEX4000 but not on the AR4, yet the connector is identical. Anyone who has AR4 able to test this out for me? Would love to have a navigation box add on that is video only and have CarPlay as music, phone source etc.
