Finally got my 8000 today and man am I happy! One thing I didn't expect to work was Siri hands free but it works seamlessly. Just setup Bluetooth and it works. But the real bonus is I programmed my Axxess for a PTT button (my car doesn't have one), and although all the information I could find said pioneer doesn't support that button, it activates Siri!

 

Everyone was right about appmode though. Used it for about 3 minutes and I hate it! C'mon carplay! HDMI out from the iPhone works pretty great though!

Anyone find any cool tricks you can get Siri to do in the car? I tried to ask her to change functions on the radio, hoping they had found some way to get the phone to communicate back to the receiver like a remote, but no dice. Also, if I ask what someone's age is, she'll read the beginning of their Wikipedia entry, but if I ask her to tell me about someone, she'll say she can't do that while driving.

Siri will never do this.

No one said it couldnt be done. Anything can be done. I said it wouldnt happen. The ratio of users of Apple products being used with a Pioneer stereo is so neglegiable to the overall users of Apple products that we shouldnt even be having this conversation. If you really think Apple gives a damn about a few people wanting to control thier stereo with thier phone you not only dontget the whole purpose of Car Play which is to control the phone from the head unit, but you also dont get what Apple is about here. It will never happen.

It's an emerging market, so we will see. Apple is too tight so I don't see it either but I can see the jailbreak community coming up with ways

Yes we will. Come back to this thread in two years and it still won't have happened.

 

Just because you think it won't happen is irrelevant because you, frankly, have no basis for your conclusion. Apple could easily release an open API for Siri -- many people expect it will. And, yes, Apple is very controlling and may make it nearly impossible, not unlike the current limitations for AppleTV, but you have zero support that it will never happen.
