DP3343 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Pioneer is listed as one of the partners in the open automotive alliance. As is alpine, and every other major aftermarket head unit maker. I would not be surprised if the NEX has a future software update that will enable this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tickerguy Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 The biggest problem is that CANBus protocols are mostly-closed; this is much-more of an issue than just entertainment, and IMO it's unacceptable. Tied sales are supposed to be illegal unless the "tied" service is FREE for the life of the product. That's the law, and yet automakers manage to skirt the requirements (they "technically" get around it.) It would be nice if we had a choice but ALL of the automakers do this, which means there is no market force to change it available. I'm not normally one to back government intervention but there's a reason the Sherman and Clayton Acts were passed in the US..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
