Wiring Harness for AppRadio 2

20 April 2012 - 04:06 AM

I recently purchased a pioneer AVH 3400BH. I am not all that happy with it, and want to return it if I get an AppRadio2. I purchaed it from crutchfield, so everything should be fine, but I have to include the harness.

Does the AppRadio2 use the same (pioneer 16 pin) harness as the 3400 BH?

Thank you.

AppRadio 2 - How good is it for Android Navigation?

20 April 2012 - 04:01 AM

Hello All

I recently learned about the AppRadio 2. I have a Droid 3 android phone (Verizon, US). I am looking into this phone primarily to use google maps on the bigger screen.

The droid3 is not listed as a compatible phone, but it does have HDMI out. Google navigation is not listed as a compatible app, but WAZE is.

1) My phone is not listed as compatible. Do you think that will cause any problems? Are any of you sucessfully using unsupported phones?
2) I tried WAZE a while back, and did not like it. What are your feeling on WAZE when used through the AppRadio? Are there any other Nav apps that work that people like?
3) I have tried using google navigation at home to my TV via HDMI. It works. Can the AppRadio be used as an HDMI monitor?
4) The unit has its own GPS antaenna. How does that connect to the phone? Is it via bluetooth? How well does it work?

I am super psyched about the phone, but I am afraid that it will be a huge letdown. Any feedback from android owners would be majorly appreciated.

Thanks.
