MattHays Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Seems like there are no vendors actually shipping CarPlay at this time. I have heard from some car vendor reps that Apple is making them hold off until the September iPhone announcement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koneill Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Which is supposed to happen September 9th and would fit with Pioneer's stated summer release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

e30cab Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Which is supposed to happen September 9th and would fit with Pioneer's stated summer release. They initially said early summer which is not September. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koneill Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 They initially said early summer which is not September. I understand that, but that's not what they're saying now. Not sure what your point was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
e30cab Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 My point is these came to market with an early summer promise. That missed equals bull. How anyone thinks it is ok to make a promise, break it and say well now we say something else is nonsense Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pjrm68 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 If you go to the Pioneer CarPlay page on their site, it does still say early summer, actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
e30cab Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 This one does not say anything about not being available now! http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/CarPlay/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ptkdude Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 If you go to the Pioneer CarPlay page on their site, it does still say early summer, actually. It sure does. Also, Apple is notoriously secret with product information. As someone who works for one of Apple's closest partners, and who is authorized to know all the stuff that my company knows, I can assure you the car vendor reps have no idea when anything Apple is going to happen. If they say it's going to come out with iOS8 launch in September, they are likely making assumptions. It is certainly possible that CarPlay will come out with iOS8, but I sure wouldn't trust the word of "some car vendor reps". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
e30cab Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sure and if they had said firmware release date subject to Apple's release permissions sometime in the future no complaint would be reasonable. Unfortunately, they did not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rso81 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Well, it is passed August 6th, so "early summer" is officially over. I'm hat'n! LOL! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Let's not forget that when it came to Apple, the only things they ever promised was 2014 for the car makers and "soon" for Pioneer and Alpine. They never promised us Summer. https://www.apple.com/uk/ios/carplay/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 it's still Summer somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pjrm68 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 it's still Summer somewhere And it's CarPlay nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
