I have been a longtime Pioneer user going back to the AVIC D3 and then a AVIC Z110. So about a year ago. I upgraded to a AVIC NEX 8100. Plus I've been a longtime Apple user. About a week ago my iPhone 6 starting acting up. I took it to the Apple Store and was told it has touchscreen disease. I don't like the iPhone 7. so I upgraded to the Moto Z force. A pretty nice android. When I used my iPhone 6 with AVIC NEX 8100. I was able to use CarPlay and all the AVIC features. One of the features I use all the time is the AVIC Sync App. I've used it to update my 8100 maps, I've subscripted to update
