Apple car play
1 Attachment(s)
I fitted a Pioneer Apple Car Play headunit yesterday and it's awesome.
You loose the ability to play cd's but seeing as all my music in now on my phone it makes good sense. Google maps works like a sat nav and is very accurate with the included gps antenna. Also can send and receive texts via voice activation, make receive calls, audio streaming with album art ect. Its like having a tablet in the dash so far I'm very impressed... Attachment 47869 |
Can you use you phones 3G data ?
|
Yes I believe so. It's comes up at the top of the screen saying 3G/4G
Forgot to mention it also has a spotfiy app. |
I have the same head unit and I love it.
Very fluid and easy to use. However it could do with a firm ware update. On ios7 you could use dash command and had more app capability I have a DAB app that works very well though. The fact you can use mirror link for android devices is pretty awesome. I have thought about the reverse camera too |
Yeah I would like to add the reverse camera. What dab radio app are you using?
|
Guess radio plays like a conventional car radio through the cars radio aerial?
Been thinking about 1 of these for a while :) |

Whats the pre out on this? Ive been put off changing my single din pioneer deh-80prs as I cannot find a double din with a 5v pre out?
Is very appealing though! |
Not sure about the pre outs but this is the info from the manual.
RCA Preouts 3 (4V) Built-in Amplifier MOSFET 50W x 4 MIXTRAX® Auto EQ Easy EQ (EEQ) Preset Equalizer Customizable Graphic Equalizer 13-Band Time Alignment Crossover LPF, HPF Subwoofer Control Listening Position Selector Advanced Sound Retriever |
Which model did you go for?
|
It's a Pioneer Sph-da120
|
Did you need to buy something for it to work with iPhone 5? Been looking on amazon at 1 of these for a few days but it says i need to buy a adaptor for it to work with the 5?:brickwall
|
These are great units, I've had one for a while and the integration is fantastic.

I generally use TomTom on my phone for nav, does MirrorLink mean that you could get that app to show on the screen? I was looking at the Parrot one because that can get the app itself but if MirrorLink works that way then that's even better.
|
+1 for dash command I'd be happy with that, the only thing I miss is a volume knob, can be fiddley trying to turn music down in a hurry. Nice unit though.

Had the chance to have more of a play around with it today. And found another nice feature.
You can customise the start up screen to any picture you like when you turn your ignition on. Attachment 47754 Attachment 47755 |
And the background also
|
Pretty cool
|
Just ordered one of these yesterday, looking forward to fitting it. seem to be allot of folk impressed with them.
|
FYI, screen protectors are available off eBay, a few quid for 6, from Germany but didn't take long to come.

It's called dabradio free

Will it do screen mirroring? I have the TomTom app and would prefer to use that or 'Nav Free' over Apple maps any day of the week.

It's a app that should be able to work with CarPlay, like a few others (DASH COMMAND!!), but I suppose they have to work with Apple to get it on there. |

Does that go over mobile data?

Moving from a 4s plus having the cable for the 4s i do use dashcommand and now have a 6 its rather expensive to change cable to the lightening adapter. Is dashcommand included in the car play. If not i will use the 4s cable and buy the converter adapter and see if it works that way
