Typical Pioneer BS. And, if Apple is holding up approval, it's probably because Pioneer's half-baked software just doesn't work.

I'm not an iOS developer but we have hundreds of developers who submit apps to Apple. It's not an easy process, very tough to get something through. But yea, maybe Pioneer doesn't have a competent/capable person who can design/submit an iOS app that can reliably pass Apple's stringent vetting process.

The Apple excuse smells like BS to me, too. If that was all that's holding it up, then where is the Android app?

Pioneer most likely didn't secure app developers for avicsync, most likely developers didn't see the $$$$.

If that was the case then why did they have no problem getting AppRadioLIVE on the app store? And their AppRadio app has been on the appstore a while and was updated in February and from what I understand about updating apps, Apple has to review it again every time you submit an update...

They also haven't put out a fix for the appradio app for most of the phones released since the fall like the note 4 and s5, which is ironic since these phones have actual Mirrorlink support. Oh, and the whole mirrorlink thing is bullshit since an app has to support the feature and there's only 3 on Android that do.

I wasn't trying to be a Pioneer fan boy. I'm not happy with how they're "fixing" issues only on new(er) models.

Just saying the Apple iTunes Store process isn't the easiest, even updates have to go through a vetting process.

My guess is that there is a glitch in the firmware requiring both the app in the app store AND yet another firmware update. I am betting the hang up is any kind of change to the approved firmware on the units. Since CarPlay was added, Apple now has to vet their firmware before allowing it to be released.
