My app radio 2 arrived today! I'll be installing it tonight hopefully. Unfortunately pioneer changed the harnesses back to the old pioneer harness , also a new iPhone cable. Looks like I can't use the app radio 1 harness :/ oh well

Did you get it installed? Interested to hear the differences.

Its possible you upload the firmware of Appradio 2 please

So, on the basis that my understaning was that Pioneer highlighted new functionality was a simple firmware upgrade, what are the chances Pioneer will issue the original AppRadio an update soon that provides the same UI and functionality as AppRadio 2?

Interface is faster, pandora is built into the dock and no longer under apps. Settings is accessed by swiping right. I'll try and upload a video. I can also try to upload the firmware tomorrow if I have a chance. Install wise, back to the standard one harness that piOneer used in the past, back to the 2.5 mic, back to the standard pioneer gps antenna jack. Bypass works with a switch still. The screen is much better! That is the biggest compliment I have. Deck feels much more solid. The new firm ware will also trigger your phone to ask if you want to start the app when hitting the app button or the pandora button.

if it is possible to recover the firmware it would be great

Again Dejan, you might want to tell people how to do this and why.

Any feedback yet? Did you own the original AppRadio to compare it to?

Yes I owned the original also. So far I love it. I'm trying to did some time to make a video of a few of the major differences
