nolarola Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Disappointed car play is late, very upset about AVICSync, but still enjoying my nex Would rather wait for a nice polished product, than get the quirky, appradio I agree with this. I'd rather have something that worked perfectly than half baked. I think the disingenuous advertising and lack of communication is what's so disappointing. I have never thought carplay would add significant functionality to the radio but it certainly was the reason I picked the NEX over the competition and other, cheaper pioneer options.

rtpjunior Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Has anyone checked the Pioneer homepage lately? The picture/link to CarPlay that was in the lower right corner is gone......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philfrompa Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 They still list CaPlay under each of the NEX pages. For how long is another question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Apple just updated their carplay page again. the 9 automakers they took away 2 days ago are back and coming 2014 never went away, it just moved up to the start of the page. So as of right now no change on carplay from Apple. Just a website restructuring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nolarola Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Here's something interesting I didn't realize before, the Ferrari uses an Alpine system - http://www.autoconnectedcar.com/2014/09/ferrari-wins-iphone-race-1st-carplay-connected-car-for-ios-7-8/. Looks like Alpine has the upper hand - although most of us jumped on the Pioneer bandwagon simply for the early promise of Carplay compatibilty. The upshot of the Pioneer delay and Alpine saying it was coming to market in the fall is that Pioneer's false marketing worked, which probably ticks off Alpine as well as the users.

drenyce311 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 http://bgr.com/2014/09/23/apple-carplay-release-date-delay/ this article says 2015. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We bet on the wrong horse guys. Lesson learned. Never buying pioneer again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheEdge Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 http://bgr.com/2014/09/23/apple-carplay-release-date-delay/ this article says 2015. The article is also wrong. Check out the link from the article and you will see that 2014 is right up on the top graphic. It was just moved, not removed. BGR is often wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheEdge Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 We bet on the wrong horse guys. Lesson learned. Never buying pioneer again. That's an expensive horse we missed.... I'll stick with the one that I have. When Alpine comes out with their aftermarket unit, I'll take notice after I review it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pjrm68 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 The truth is, no one knows anything at this point except Apple and Pioneer--and Pioneer certainly a isn't saying anything. 162 comments on their most recent Facebook post and not a single response from the company. They're alienating their customers right and left, and they're too afraid to say a word. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're alienating their customers right and left, and they're too afraid to say a word. To be honest, Pioneer shouldn't be saying anything right now until there is something to say. The damage of delivering a date (however vague) and then missing it is already done. Speaking up with a revised date, while a fair request, just provides another opportunity to screw it up all over again. Sometimes it is better to just let folks be angry at you while you work to fix it than trying to placate them and failing at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, there should be some form of an apology from the company. Pretending we don't have calendars and that we don't know summer has passed is just plain asinine. What they should have done is Apologized in a formal press release and then just stated "it will come out when it is ready. Not a day before, not a day after. Please be patient."

DP3343 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well its supposedly coming in summer 2014 in Australia as well which is in December, so that's where this mix up comes from. Even though both Pioneer USA and Pioneer's main headquarters in Japan are countries in the Northern Hemisphere, they are on a Southern Hemisphere Calender System. Carplay isn't late at all! How could I have been so silly thinking otherwise? /s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
