bnluigi Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 what do you guys think ? http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/04/26/exclusive-pioneer-appradio-sph-da01/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Interesting, I'm usually the first to hear of such things. It's long been hinted that we would see a new generation of units for 2012. We probably won't know anything official until Pioneer's Summer Road Show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bit_bucket Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 It is using the api's that have been built into IOS for some time now that allow another unit to take full control of the iOS device; essentially transferring the touch screen control and all app access to the resulting unit. This has been baked into iOS for a few revisions but it has not been used or talked about too much. I am happy to see Pioneer being first to the game. This will be revolutionary in the car audio game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Although the 2012 units form the three biggest head unit manufactures will offer a completely new concept of how future units will work, I believe what you see in this article is complete vapor ware. Companies never allow this kind of revolutionary concept to leak like this. I wouldn't be surprise if this was completely false. The 2012 units from Pioneer, Kenwood , and Alpine will likely run some version of Android OS but I don't believe this is it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcbs204 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Crap, i like this allot if it comes to fruition. Now i will have to upgrade once again!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenX Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Vaporware? hah! Let's just say... this week might be very interesting. Stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

franknitty69 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 well pioneer has a placeholder on their site with a countdown. so i guess we will see. "Get Yours Junes 22, 2011" http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/AppRadio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenX Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Pioneer App Radio announced Actually, this link seems to have more detail, but looks like the press release or something official: Pioneer's AppRadio... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Looks pretty good. Wont compare with my in-dash iPad instal but likely pretty damn close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dflebak Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Just got a new Z130BT. Thinking about returning it and waiting for the new head unit that comes out on 6/22/11 with iphone integration. It's seems to have the same functionality with much greater potential. I guess there's no way they would do a software update for the existing Z130s that offer the same touch screen control of the iphone?? Thoughts on what to do??? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's seems to have the same functionality with much greater potential. I guess there's no way they would do a software update for the existing Z130s that offer the same touch screen control of the iphone?? Thoughts on what to do??? Thanks That is my question as well. Does anyone know if this Pioneer AppRadio for Iphone will work the same way with the Z110/120 in “Ipod video mode†and the Z130 in “app mode�? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's basically app mode with touch screen controls being passed to the iPhone. As far as I know, there is no actual GPS in the unit, it depends on the iPhone to navigate. That may be a big drawback for some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
