All "apps" in this program are services streamed to the app from the pioneer cloud. So technically all pioneer would need to do is add the spotify access to do this. Spotify does not need to make an app.

This is all very exciting, cant wait for it to hit the app store over here(Ireland), maybe I can finally jump to ios7.

Its a pity they don't have spotify though

Cool feature. I just restored my phone, and logged back into my pioneer account. All other services were ready to go right away. Did not have to reauthenticate 3 other passwords just to start using my app.

Hi all. I'm considering a 4000NEX, but I'm a bit confused with out navigation works in conjunction with the new AppRadio Live... I saw this: AppSpotlight- AppRadioLive ...and that makes navigation look pretty seamless; however, I'm curious as to what exactly is being shown in the video. It doesn't look at all like Waze, yet the video implies it's being used for navigation. Also, pioneerappradiolive.com states: "The AppRadioLIVE map feature also allows destinations to be exported directly into any of the user’s favorite AppRadio compatible navigation apps, such as iGo Primo®, MotionX® GPS Drive, Navfree® and Waze® to obtain route and voice guidance." I have no idea what this means, exactly. I can't visualize how "obtain route and voice guidance" works in practice and what the experience is like...

Could someone please, please, please post of video of the "flow" involved in using navigation with the 4000NEX? I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

That looks pretty cool, not available in Irish app store yet 

Can it support any other apps like spotify?

I assume it only works with ios7?

Not in the UK store either you can create a US account and download it from the US store, not tested with IOS6 but I'll try with my iPad mini....

I have the ipa file, how do I strip metadata(account info etc...) from the ipa file so I can post it here?

Here's my video assessment of Appradio and Appradio live. It shows the nav from Appradio Live (Inrix), and it shows Waze, and it shows the"destinations to be exported directly into any of the user’s favorite AppRadio compatible navigation apps". I'm not a fan.

AppRadio live, work well with the background manager: so you can turn off the screen of the iPhone while operating the unit.

Are you talking about jailbreaks?

Yes, Background Manager is a Tweak of cydia.

Well app radio live finally hit the Irish/UK app stores, it looks pretty impressive if only it supported Spotify and/or DS Audio(synology)

I just tried it today.....meh, it's aight.  Nothing I can't do with my iPhone in the USB mode, using this radio.

Well that's not the point. Of course everything you can do on Appradio you can do from your phone. It's powered by your phone. The point is it's a bigger display with an interface designed to be less distracting. Now, weather or not it's good at that is a different matter.

background manager ain't working here neither is backgrounder, head unit screen still goes off when I turn iphone display off, on an i5s 7.0.6

I downloaded the new app yesterday and tried it a few times since. That is a very nice step in the right direction!

I have a few questions :

In the iPod section, how do we access podcast??? I still have to rely on the CarMedia player app for this.

In the map section, there is a search function, but can it be used to search for a destination and have the iPhone map app do the talk from it? I could not find anything.

I personally hope that with iOS 8, and the plug-ins feature, that Pioneer will be able to enhance this app to be what we expect from our head unit.

i try this app on a avh-8400bt and iphone 4s jailbroken, it works fine but the difference between the video i can see, that i can't choose other GPS like wase for example!

Why? it's a limitation due to that it's the first generation of Appradio?

ps:sorry for my english

no, it works. You must first set a destination by clicking on the screen to the destination point and then change your application (waze for example).

thanks zetaR!

Good news for me!

to me it works perfectly.

I have 7.04. Now I try with 7.1.2 and will let you know.

What I do not like about it is you can not search using a keyboard in the nav. Feedly kind of sucks, and the notifications do not seem to work, annnnd my FB events don't show up under events! haha But a step in the right direction. 

The 5000 and 6000 do not exist to me....4000, 7000 or 8000. The 4000 can get navigation with the U260 add on, but it will be more expensive than just getting a 7000 from the start.

 

Bare in mind that some places get no cell service, which would be your navigation-demise, for the 4000. Amazon sells the 7000 for $830, which is only $130 more than the MSRP of the 4000.

If you're to install something into your dash, you'd like for it to be reliable by providing redundancy of navigation technologies. To be able to coordinate directions via smartphone and satellite is what you really want.

I have 4000 with u-260 nav addon. I like this setup, because i have removable faceplate, remote control, i paid 550 for 4000 and 329 for U-260. So i paid more than price of 7000, but got a little more.

Anyone actually using this app? I turned it on the other day again for the first time since release. Good idea just don't have the need, I guess.

I don't like that the iPod functionality doesn't remember what you were listening to on the phone before getting back in the car. Instead it remembers the last thing it heard.

I must say I like it overall, but it is perfectible!

I searched for ways to communicate feedback to pioneer about the app, but I did not find anything in the app...

I kind of stopped playing with it (as I figured I would). I mainly wanted to try out Stitcher and Rdio. I prefer using Car Media Player for my podcasts over stitcher. Rdio was very nice during the free trial, but after that it's not that good. I might even consider subscribing to Rdio, but not if I have to run App Radio Live to listen to it it probably won't happen. App Radio Live didn't simplify anything for me, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to. 

When CarPlay becomes more established, I'm likely to go in that direction with a new head unit. My 2+ year AppRadio2 experiment is probably coming to a close.

I'm also thinking to let things settle a bit on CarPlay, and maybe upgrade to one of the NEX series eventually. But pioneer said CarPlay would be ready for the summer time, and still nothing except a few beta demos to some journalists. So it may take a while to become more standard or established.

That said, my next HU may have in-car navigation built in too. Not to rely only on the iPhone.
