fotomkr Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Well this is it. I am done with Pioneer. I have supported them for over 25 years both in Canada and the UK. But this CarPlay fiasco has p***d me off. They can't even update their website. Still says "arriving early summer 2014" I sold my Z140 at a huge loss and bought the NEX 4000 in anticipation of CarPlay. They won't even reply to my emails. If I had the money, I would sue their pants off.If it is true that they are waiting for Apple approval, then Apple can go to hell too. So in concluding, good by Pioneer and hello Kenwood, Alpine, Clarion etc. Also goodbye Apple and hello Android. I hope somebody at Pioneer and Apple are seeing this blog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

likeawind Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Dude are you ok? you decided to vent after Pioneer released the carplay update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hello person from two days ago. We were mad too, but we aren't anymore as long as we didn't use USB storage to listen to music. Please update your 4000. It can have carplay now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fotomkr Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Oops! Didn't realize it was out. Usually get an email from Pioneer regarding firmware updates. Didn't get one this time. Will do the update tonight. Then I may forgive them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kentinportland Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's OK Fotomkr. I STILL have some residual anger over Pioneer's handling of the Car Play fiasco......lol. Go ahead and vent....they still deserve it.....lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go ahead and vent....they still deserve it.....lol. Not sure if it is all Pioneer's fault. I guess Apple did not let them release their upgrade until Apple went through their 100% focus on iPhone 6 and ios 8 releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fotomkr Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Well I just did the update. No issues at all. Unbelievably sweet. Pioneer is forgiven. I'm happy to say that my Kia beat the big guys (Mercedez, BMW etc) to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
