Please make this simple for me. Iphone 5/X3700BHS AppRadio connectivity

Posted Feb 05, 2015 · 14:27 UTC#1

Do I need something other than the lightning cable to use the AppRadio mode? The screen shows an "-X" next to APPS.

I've read a lot here but before I buy something else, I want to be sure exactly what I need. When I bought the HU I had no idea I needed a bunch of other shit to get the most out of it.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Really? 360 replies and no advice? Help please. Did I spend the cash on a product I can't use as advertised?. I want to be able to use the NAV app in particular.

Finally contacted Pioneer. Suggested I download the latest firmware. That did it! One simple lightning cable and APPS works. Now Pioneer just needs to develop some additional useful apps.
