RWILIMO is PIONEER TED. :mrgreen:

Based on his post history he sounds like just a pretty regular guy. He even complained about Appradio mode and asked people about whether or not he should buy some Sony head unit.

 

Also If he worked for pioneer and they gave him the 7000 instead of the full Monty 8000 I'd reevaluate my employer benefits.

Exactly, no one on this forum would ever identify themselves as a Pioneer employee or they would likely be fired. They monitor this board and would not tolerate any of their people disclosing such info. If he is Pioneer related however, I want to be able to check his credibility if he is going to posting such info on this forum. That is why I asked how he knew the info he was posting.

I am also waiting for CarPlay to arrive.

 

I am curious though what CarPlay will do that I already can do without it?

 

I can have siri read my messages and I can respond to them. I can set alerts/events by using siri. I can have siri read my email. I have hands free calling. I have Nav. I can listen to music from my phone/ipod.

 

I guess maybe if they add more apps, which I guess they already have, MLB and Podcasts. Unless they have improved their Map app, I would rather use Pioneer Nav.

Siri won't read back the third message down the list that you got a half hour ago. Your maps app doesn't automatically pull addresses from the most recent emails that you've recieved, and being that carplay is an official apple venture once they open up the api there will be a lot more apps than other methods.

 

However yes your point is valid that most of what carplay does is already duplicated in other options.

Sent an email to Pioneer about the lack of speed camera data in the 8000 (F60DAB in the UK), this was their response:

 

Good Morning

The speed camera information is not yet available for this unit, it will be
in the next few weeks, it will be available when the Car Play App is here,
which is the middle of this month.

Hope this helps.

 

So seems like they have a target of "middle of the month"...we'll see!

Kind regards

Yes!! Last time they said something like that they repeated it later to the blogs. Maybe if and when they do we will get a date.
