I have not updated to IOS 6 because I am scared that I will lose functionality on my AR2. Has anyone had any issues after updating to IOS 6 as well as updating the appradio app? Do the new apple maps work in lieu of the google maps? Anything else to be weary of?
IOS 6 and Appradio 2
I upgraded to iOS6 last night and as far as I can tell, it all works OK. Take a look at the excerpt below...
Copied from the iPhone 5 thread:
For owners of current AppRadio 2, AppRadio, and Advanced App Mode products*, please read the following important update:
Your Pioneer product is compatible with iOS 6 installed on the iPhone 4S or iPhone 4.
At this time, two operational issues, listed below, have been identified. To resolve these issues, both the Pioneer AppRadio app and each compatible third-party AppRadio app require an update.
1) My Apps seem to launch just fine from th Appradio screen
2) Pinch to zoom is currently not working on the Maps App for me. I have not tried looking at photos.
If you haven't read this, here's more info
But the new maps app does work?
But the new maps app does work?
The new Maps App does work. You can search, get directions, etc. You can still zoom by hitting the +/- buttons, but pinch to zoom does not work.
Yep it all works for me too on Appradio v1
Even the new apple Podcast app on the phone works with the appradio playback.
I need to add that Maps works just like the old google version did. However, turn-by-turn directions from Maps only works on the phone itself. Its video is not sent to the AppRadio. The voice guidance does come through the speakers FWIW.
youtube don't work as it work before...
you know you can display youtube videos if you launch it from the iphone if in os 5.1....in os 6, not ...
whereas now, you can launch "video" carmedia player when it works...( most of time blank screen )
new fonction with facebook or twiter added, you can show your "gps" position in google maps, not important but funny.
is it me or when you exit waze gps, most of the time, screen remain black ?
and it need at least 5 seconds, to take control of touchscreen appradio icons to be selected...? ( like searching in iphone the right fonction...)
Hope this helps
