Boullie Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi there! Currently I'm using the iPhone 4S with the Pioneer AHV-8400BT, but the phone is getting a bit outdated. Planning on buying another phone, and chances are this one (officially) won't be appradio compatible. Will get a new (company) car soon, so this unit will most likely be moved into storage for a future car.Yet, to make it a bit more useful when the time comes, I'm planning on buying a seperate GPS unit. The original one from Pioneer (Currently the AVIC-F260 is available) will cost a small fortune (550€/685$) So I went and looked for another (cheaper) solution. Also because I believe it's a bit more interesting to have Garmin/Tomtom/Igo installed, compared to Pioneer's AVIC maps. Not only because the maps are cheaper, but especially because they get updated more frequently. Anyone experience with these chinese Windows CE 6.0 or Android GPS units? Have found a few on aliexpress, but guess they will be available on other sites (ebay for example) too.

JerkyChew Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'm still trying to get everything to play nicely so I don't have it working yet, but have you looked into using your smartphone, Applink and Waze? I rely very heavily on Waze for my commute and it looks like you can get its features and on-screen controls via AppLink on both Android and iOS. Alternatively, the new CarPlay support does include Apple Maps, though I'm not sure how good the app actually is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boullie Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've ordered the device and will be picking it up later today. Will post my findings as soon as I've tested it properly. Really looking forward to having Garmin running on the Pioneer Unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
