Cathaldub Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 That looks pretty cool, not available in Irish app store yet Can it support any other apps like spotify? I assume it only works with ios7? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 So if this requires HDMI as was mentioned before, does that mean it won't work on the 5000? I'm trying to decide between the 5000 and the 6000. I kind of figure I'll be just fine with the 5000, especially once Carplay is released. Is there anything I'm really going to miss out on by going with the 5000 vs the 6000 once we get the firmware update with Carplay? Sorry for the slight thread jack. The 5000 can still handle Appradio mode if you buy the pioneer adaptor that gives it a vga port. Honestly if you want to save money go for the 4000. It's the best bang for buck imo.

The 4000 can get navigation with the U260 add on, but it will be more expensive than just getting a 7000 from the start. Bare in mind that some places get no cell service, which would be your navigation-demise, for the 4000. Amazon sells the 7000 for $830, which is only $130 more than the MSRP of the 4000. http://www.amazon.com/AVIC-7000NEX-Double-DIN-Navigation-Receiver-Touchscreen/dp/B00J6W8O6K/ref=sr_1_1?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1403703799&sr=8-1&keywords=7000nex If you're to install something into your dash, you'd like for it to be reliable by providing redundancy of navigation technologies. To be able to coordinate directions via smartphone and satellite is what you really want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Full offline maps with many of the features of the other navs. I usually use waze but I use nav free when I have no internet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ptkdude Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Has anyone tried this out with an iPhone 4? The app listing in the iTMS show compatibility with iPhone 4, but I'm wondering if the 4 would work without the AV adapter. Just a curiosity on my part! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spankey Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Since I can't use this now and only watch the videos, does this appear to be Pioneer's version of Carplay. Are the maps used from the phone or do they interact with the built in NAV? Also the iPod interface seems very similar to the Carplay implementation. If that's the case, I really don't see why this app wouldn't work with through lightning to USB on on iPhone after the Carplay firmware updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Which does nothing for you, if you lose/break your phone. I'm not going to plan my life on the worst case scenarios. My car could get stolen, then what do I do? My phone is always on me. Your example of losing service is something that has happened, which is why I have nav free. Could my phone get stolen? Sure. Has that happened in the 7 years I've been using smart phones? No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlinnell98 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I peeped it I like the music integration a bit more but I am not truly impressed with it. I could not seem to find navigation other then to get home when I tried to get directions it opened Waze. If it launched the app on its own it would be a step in the right direction but it seems like it still wants to open the appraido app and then the "live app". Definitly needs some adjusting, I like the music and overall flow of the app and will use it for a while. This now launches for me right away when I start my car (using activator to launch on Bluetooth connect) and it bypasses the stock appradio app (so no warning message on the phone). At least we know Pioneer hasn't completely forgotten about the AR users Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume it only works with ios7? No spotify as of now. Hopefully more 3rd party apps can get incorporated. The app says iOS7 or later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 All "apps" in this program are services streamed to the app from the pioneer cloud. So technically all pioneer would need to do is add the spotify access to do this. Spotify does not need to make an app. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cathaldub Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 This is all very exciting, cant wait for it to hit the app store over here(Ireland), maybe I can finally jump to ios7. Its a pity they don't have spotify though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Cool feature. I just restored my phone, and logged back into my pioneer account. All other services were ready to go right away. Did not have to reauthenticate 3 other passwords just to start using my app. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koneill Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi all. I'm considering a 4000NEX, but I'm a bit confused with out navigation works in conjunction with the new AppRadio Live... I saw this: AppSpotlight- AppRadioLive ...and that makes navigation look pretty seamless; however, I'm curious as to what exactly is being shown in the video. It doesn't look at all like Waze, yet the video implies it's being used for navigation. Also, pioneerappradiolive.com states: "The AppRadioLIVE map feature also allows destinations to be exported directly into any of the user’s favorite AppRadio compatible navigation apps, such as iGo Primo®, MotionX® GPS Drive, Navfree® and Waze® to obtain route and voice guidance." I have no idea what this means, exactly. I can't visualize how "obtain route and voice guidance" works in practice and what the experience is like... Could someone please, please, please post of video of the "flow" involved in using navigation with the 4000NEX? I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkForce Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 That looks pretty cool, not available in Irish app store yet Can it support any other apps like spotify? I assume it only works with ios7? Not in the UK store either you can create a US account and download it from the US store, not tested with IOS6 but I'll try with my iPad mini.... I have the ipa file, how do I strip metadata(account info etc...) from the ipa file so I can post it here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
