Hi,

 

Just purchased a Pioneer Appradio 2, installing it next week. I am planning on using an iPhone 4 for my ipod and hope to use one of the navigation apps too. Will I be able to listen to music on the ipod whilt using the app mode for my navigation?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. I use a 4th gen iPod touch that is permanently in my car and I can run navfree or igo primo whilst playing music from the same iPod. You can also listen to the radio as well whilst running a sat nav app. Just double press the middle home button on the radio unit and then change the mix to radio (it always defaults to off).

 

Hope this helps :)

Thanks that is very helpful, I have a first gen ipod so just hope that is still supported.

 

I thought the ipod touch did not have GPS or does it use the GPS antenna for the appradio.

 

Thanks again

I tried a 2nd gen touch and that wasn't supported i'm afraid. And yes, it uses the gps antenna on the appradio :)
