BrianOBrien Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Apple introduced CarPlay in their new iOS 7.1 update yesterday. Anybody tried it with an AVIC-X920BT? I had some apps before but I'm wondering if this is supported by the latests Pioneer Firmware... Which by they way is what version? Anyone know if Maps been updated?

rso81 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't think Carplay will even work in an avic or AppRadio. I believe the radio also has to be "carplay compatible" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

epsilonkore Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would wager to say it wont happen on anything below the x50 or NEX series due to not having a native Lightning connector, which is a requirement for CarPlay. That being said, it "could" happen for the 2014 based Pioneer AVIC's via upgrade, but it is more than likely not going to happen until the 2015 units hit the shelves. http://time.com/23419/report-pioneer-might-be-working-on-aftermarket-carplay-stereos/ http://modmyi.com/content/14122-aftermarket-receivers-compatible-carplay-won-t-coming-2014.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
