Well not talking Pioneer, and how much they treat their customers with respect (PS personally don't worry the 8200 will have this feature even though our current radios probably have some kind of dormant wifi in them or something stupid) however alpine's radio, the ILX-007 has been confirmed to have a dormant Wifi chip and bluetooth chip in the motherboard that I suspect will be activated at the same time as this carplay update. Sadly I can't seem to find the picture proving it at this second, but it has been shown in teardowns to have the chips.

He's not able to have full phone control like appradio extensions but he still is able to go straight to the app thanks to the jailbreak. It's pretty cool honestly.

Well, it does use the same interface as the NEX line so that means it is running android. I guess the 4000 would be most comparable to that unit? There are definite hardware differences between the two. One USB port instead of 2, no HDMI, but hey if you have had luck before maybe you can again. Also on that topic, if you can make my 4000 think it has the display out of an 8000 so I can use the better carplay interface, that would be awesome too.

I've experienced something similar when I tried quick replying to a text while in carplay http://imgur.com/S19esQO

Honestly, Pioneer was able to put a capacitive display on the appradio 1 which sold for 300 dollars new 4 years ago and yet now in 2014 they still want to keep using Resistive displays on all their head units? Blah. The capacitive display is ubiquitous at this point. You cannot with a straight face tell me that there is an actual cost disadvantage on the material when not only does every touchscreen phone or tablet use it, but your cheapest carplay compatible radio the AppRadio 4 uses it. Pioneer knows that we the customer want capacitive displays, so they make their most expensive unit that c

Yeah but I'm not jailbroken and I'm running the unjailbreakable version of the OS.......lame.

It's honestly broken. When the app first launches if the moon and the sun are in perfect alignment, the car display is set to night mode, and you're not in satellite view on your phone, your app can go to night mode. However, if anything is off it will jump back to day mode and there is no switching back.

Thank you! I don't know how I would go about ordering the part, but I've taken the display assembly apart before and it's pretty easy to get the screen off. Guess about 60 bucks (including shipping/taxes or whatever) would be what it would cost to fix my scratch. Not bad at all.

Which is hilarious because in their CES 2014 videos they were showing the features off working from iDatalink.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Pioneer continue to support even their current generation product let alone one that is less than a year out of date? Nope. They are horrible at supporting legacy hardware unless something on them becomes utterly broken like the iOS 7 update and the Appradio 1.

Ok to clear some things up. Currently there are 3 kinds of carplay scenarios. 1. Carplay second display mode. Currently Apple only. Custom interface created by the phone customized for the app. This is how all the apple first party apps work with the exception of the podcasts app. 2. Carplay media player apps. These send data to some kind of carplay music app that the phone has. The interface for all these apps is the same. The best way to understand this is that it is a kind of media remote control for your open app. It can read metadata from the app, scan playlists, artists sa

Maybe. They would only have to replace the plastic resistive touch surface. Also my screen can come out of the car. I should check with the audio shop by my house.

blah, my 4000 is scrached and there is no way in hell I'm paying that much. Thank you for the info though. I was curious.

I'd wait and see how the Parrot runs when it comes out. Especially if the microphone is to question since parrot has the best in the business. They are so good, the NEX uses Parrot tech for their bluetooth but with a single microphone instead of dual mics that the parrot head units use. For anyone wondering Pioneer australia advertises it for their version of the NEX http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/25/111/241/AVIC-F60DAB/specs.html go down to bluetooth and it's there. The F60DAB is the aussy 8000NEX.

I find it hilarious that the only app from the original list that isn't working yet is the one from the company that created Carplay in the first place.

The fact that parrot is launching a unit with a better display means better displays can be made. Resolution has been stagnant on head units in comparison to tablets phones and computers. Displays on other devices have improved daylight visibility dramatically. It's time for the head units in cars to improve as well.

Wait! Just wait. Carplay is really cool Android auto is really cool. Your current radio in your car is probably bothering you. However the smart money is waiting right now. Every car radio manufacturer has been pumping out the same shitty display for their aftermarket radios since the dawn of time. Finally Parrot is launching a radio with a better 720P display instead of the "800x480 is this display from 10 years ago?" garbage. It is unknown if the Parrot will be a great radio or not. I've heard mixed reviews about their asteroid line. However, what is clear is that finally car companies

So, I don't know how widely this is known, but there are actually two different carplay interfaces apple pipes to the headunits. One interface, called by apple to be devices with "high quality" touch screen interfaces uses things like intertial scrolling and one to one movement. The other units that have "poor" touch screen response use arrow keys, and sectional scrolling (the list moves the same amount up or down regardless of how much you move your finger or what speed you move your finger across the display.) What criteria dictates whether or not a device is a "high quality" touch scree

Screen has not changed. They can say whatever they want. The spec sheet for the 8100 is a 800x480 LED backlit capacitive display. The display on the 8000 is a 800x480 LED backlit capacitive display. Edit: and as far as patching the units with the new software. My appradio 2 is hardware identical short of a USB cable to the appradio 3 110 unit. Notice that same little spec bump between the units? The 110 activated the dormant bluetooth streaming on the appradio 2. Pioneer never updated the 2 to do it. The update never came. Don't keep your fingers crossed here.

I remember a conversation I had with Pioneer about an issue I had with my Appradio 2 like a month after the Appradio 3 came out. Their support staff more or less said point blank "there are no more updates coming to the AppRadio 2. It's legacy hardware now and Pioneer is not supporting it any longer." I highly doubt that situation has changed. I hope Y'all like how your units are running on os 1.08 because nothing is changing from here anymore.

Finally someone is making a machine with a display that isn't the same straight from the 90s 800x480 resolution!

The Parrot on paper at least is an actual upgrade. Full support for OBD2 in the headunit, fully capacitive 720 p IPS display (no one else is making better than 800x480 displays right now), full media support, built in support for dash cams, with the same apple carplay and android auto support. Seriously. Pioneer is sitting on their hands giving us garbage and calling it platinum. It's not hard to make a better radio than the trash they are peddling.

Not a single spec between these head units and the ones preceding them are different except for android auto. Pioneer is literally updating new machines that come off the factory now, but not the machines that preceded them because "hey loyal consumer! f*^#^ you! Love pioneer"

http://www.appradioworld.com/2014/10/future-phone-connections-to-pioneer-car.html?m=1 This is an Appradioworld article from a little while ago hinting that this feature was coming. By the sound of the article there is something in the radio that may be needed to do this. However if they updated the NEX units and the Appradio 4 to support this I'd be happy.

The lightning only connection is for their new DVD players for 2015. They just released the software update. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Press-Room/Car-Audio-Video/Pioneer+Gives+The+Gift+of+Firmware+for+the+Holidays There is no word on whether or not this feature is coming to other radios.
