douger Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 There will be no support for non NEX units. It seems to be Pioneer's policy that once new units are released, they forget they made the older units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 It is common in this industry that once a product is discontinued, support in the forum of software or hardware updates is also discontinued. Honestly I don't know of many industries that do continue to support discontinued products. Regardless, on occasion they will offer a firmware patch to address a problem after a product has been discontinued but they never offer updates that add new features so it is assured previous units will not be getting Car Play. The only time Pioneer in particular has offered "feature additions" to discontinued products was with the previous Z and F/X series in the form of paid map upgrades. It is a highly unlikely possibility that previous units may see Car Play in the form of a map upgrade in previous units but I can almost guarantee it won't happen.

I gotta say Apple is very good about updates on older models Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chrisj Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Apple is so so about that, no Siri with the 4 and lower, no zoom or taking pics while recording 4s and lower, just to name a few. VBlue is right, you have to understand and accept that technology moves forward-----> no rearview. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
