Alpine to release Carplay aftermarket radio in Fall


Recommended Posts

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
