Just FYI, if you nave Navigon's GPS app for the iPhone, it will display out onto AppRadio. There is no touch functionality on the Pioneer Unit, but it will display the map and output audio prompts.

yup. and if you want it to look even better (centered on the screen and the ability to stretch to the pioneer's screen), use display out from cydia.

How's everyone feeling about their AppRadio now that it's been more than a week? I'm still sitting on the fence, but I find myself constantly playing with it at Best Buy despite all the issues. Apps crash on me often, but I'm going to attribute that to me running iOS 5 Beta2. I'll probably revert back to 4.3 and go back and mess around more.

 

There's SO MUCH POTENTIAL to write cool car apps, especially seeing how well Rdio did their interface that outputs to AppRadio.

 

I hope the Mimics guys find a way to port their touch hack over to this hardware.

I love mine. I got it the day it came out and haven't had an issue with it yet. Everything works great. I just wish Navigon or CoPilot live had compatible apps. I already emailed them and requested it. We'll see what other developers jump onboard as time progresses.

I like it but I use it mostly for pandora. It has issues but manageable and worth the trouble.

I use it mostly for Rdio and Pandora myself. I don't buy CD's anymore. The INRIX traffic is awesome if you know where you are going but just want traffic info. I really like this head unit. I have it hooked up to a Crunch

Audio amp and it sounds great.

I tried using display out from cydia with Navigon and it still wouldn't display centered on the screen no matter what settings I used as far as stretching the image. How did yo get it to work?

my exact display out settings:

orientation: follow interface

max screen resolution: 768p

aspect adjust: preserve

and the important thing is that you HAVE TO leave your screen on. if you lock your screen, you will not see anything on your appradio. i have a little recess right next to my shifter that is the exact size of my iphone on it's side so it stays in landscape orientation.

Thanks for the reply. It works. Now I have to figure out the video override so it works while I'm driving. Right now it only works with the e-brake engaged as if it were a video app. As soon as I take the e-brake off the screen displays the no video while driving message.

just read stickboy's thread on how to do it. it works fine for me.
