Adding a New Touch to Your Connected Lifestyle

Pioneer's revolutionary, game-changing AppRadio is the first car stereo to revolutionize the driver's smartphone experience by bringing compatible iPhone 4 apps to your dash. When connected to an iPhone 4 (or a 4th generation iPod touch) loaded with Pioneer's free AppRadio Application, the AppRadio in-dash stereo provides the ultimate in-vehicle smartphone experience. With AppRadio's in-dash, capacitive touchscreen, you can enjoy full on-screen access and control of your iPhone contacts, calendar, maps, and more with an intuitive interface, formatted and designed specifically for safer in-vehicle operation. Pioneer has teamed up with several app providers to offer compatibility with many of today's most popular in-vehicle apps, while also developing an expanding catalog of AppRadio compatible apps for future features and functions that can be easily and seamlessly added. AppRadio will even notify you when new compatible apps are released.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amazing idea, very poor execution, June 27, 2011
This review is from: Pioneer SPH-DA01 AppRadio 6.1-Inch In-Dash Double-Din AV Receiver for iPod and iPhone (Electronics)
I was so pumped for this product when I first saw the announcement for it a little over a month ago. Now that I have it and have spent the past 3 days using it I can safely say it has been a huge letdown. I really wanted it to work as well, I tried my hardest to see past all the issues, but there are so many and they interfere so heavily with the usability I couldn't. For that reason I'm returning it. I'll detail the specifics individually further down.

First, the idea itself was a great one. One I am convinced would have worked if it were not for the buggy software and the slow interface. It feels as if the product was rushed to market before it was thoroughly tested and tweaked. The line between great product and horrid one is thin here and this one missed the mark for myself. Also, I didn't count off for this as I was fully aware of it going in, but am posting it as an FYI to future less informed buyers. This product turns into a mediocre radio without an iPhone 4. It...

1.0 out of 5 stars I paid to be a Beta Tester, June 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Pioneer SPH-DA01 AppRadio 6.1-Inch In-Dash Double-Din AV Receiver for iPod and iPhone (Electronics)
Installed in a 2005 Toyota Tacoma.

This product is a terrific idea. Unfortunately it's execution is not so great. Overall I feel like I paid $399 to be a beta tester. I installed this on 06/24/11 and have been using it all day today 06/25/11

Pros -
Pandora, IPOD, Google Maps, iPhone on one interface
Sound Quality

Cons

Slow Startup

Pinch to zoom in Google Maps has been disabled. You are confined to stupid zoom bar. - But you can pinch in the GPS apps that you purchase. Is that why it is disabled, so that you are forced to buy these apps?

No Phone Numbers displayed on a google map search result - So if I want to say call a nearby restaurant to see if they are open or ask some other dumb question, I have to grab my iphone and lookup through google maps. This totally defeats the purpose of purchasing this product.

Terrible call quality through bluetooth.
Phone is setup through bluetooth thought it... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, POOR execution of hardware and software, June 23, 2011

This review is from: Pioneer SPH-DA01 AppRadio 6.1-Inch In-Dash Double-Din AV Receiver for iPod and iPhone (Electronics)
I ordered this yesterday from Amazon, got it this afternoon and installed it tonight into my Honda Fit...

What a HUGE let down.....

Hardware issues:
- The iPhone cable is downright horrible... it's unnecessarily long, goes from two cables into one (why not just make it one cable?), wiggles when it is plugged in, and is stiff as can be where it meets the phone.... such a poor design
- The GPS antenna only comes with 10 feet of cable, forcing me to mount the antenna on the dash of my Honda Fit.. yuck (my older Pioneer F700 had an easy to work with 16 feet)
- Saving the worst for last: be warned that there is only one single set of RCA outputs !!!! I'm still beside myself on this.....

Software issues:
- The "app" that Pioneer provides for free in the AppStore *has* to be running for any interactivity with the radio (meaning: you have to have the phone mounted where you can get at it)
- This "app" on the last line *does not* run... Read more
