mcorbella73 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I Have one doubt about carplay. If I buy new appradio 4 with 2 USB 's. I will be able to connect one iPod classic with all my music in one usb and to connect the an iPhone 6 in the other one to use carplay. This way I can use MAPS to get instructions and then at the same time to listen music from the iPod. can you confirm this feature. thks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meall Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 @mcorbella73 I do not have an AR4, but here some information based on the manual: To use Car Play you must connect the iPhone to the USB 1 port: Connect the USB cable to USB port 1 when using Apple CarPlay.My understanding is that you can use either port for 30 pins or iPod functionality, but nothing specifically says if you can use both at the same time...

Philtor Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 @mcorbella73 I have an AVH-4000NEX with an iPod Classic on USB 2 and I have to use the native Pioneer interface to control the music functions on the iPod, but I can still use my iPhone 6 on USB 1 to access the CarPlay features like Maps, Messages, handling calls, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meall Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Looks like it could be possible then on an AR4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pioneer is not able to confirm, even they don't reply to me. Keep waiting confirmation anyone in the forum. Thks n brgds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mcorbella73 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 When did you asked them? 2 or 3 weeks ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meall Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 2 or 3 weeks ago. they may not be very responsive, but considering the holidays I'm not surprise. If I were you I would resend it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockthebeef Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 For confirmation, I have an AR4 with an iPhone 6 all running current firmware. CarPlay is enabled and I can definitely plug my iPod into USB2 and it works. I have an old iPod Video 30GB, so the classic should work also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Means you can navigate with MAPS via CarPlay and listen music from iPod. With each indication by MAPS, the music volume decrease. Very good and many Thks for yr info.

rockthebeef Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Another bit of information... You can't have bluetooth streaming and an iPod connected to USB2 at the same time. Seems odd, but you'd most likely have your phone connected to USB1 anyway for CarPlay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems odd, but you'd most likely have your phone connected to USB1 anyway for CarPlay. Basically, if I do understand, you can use an iPod on USB 2, or an iPhone with Car Play on USB 1, or BT streaming, but not either at the same time. One connectivity excluding the other. So one cannot play music from an iPod while using map on iPhone? That's ok for me, maybe not ok for @mcorbella Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rockthebeef Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 For further clarification (or confusion!), if you have an iPod connected to USB2 it disables Bluetooth streaming. You can, however have a USB stick in USB2 and maintain Bluetooth streaming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
