Pioneer, hope you are reading this...
After this cataclysmic failure of your App radio 1 ( I disappointedly have owned ) and your epic double whammy failure app radio 2 I now am swapping out my radio to another brand.
This costly mistake cost me over $1500. And I am amazed Apple still lets you download your " APP " for your " APP" radio " especially with so many unhappy customers. Of course AppRadio is not related to Apple.
This really should be more
like a class action lawsuit as your product sold in store and updates makes this completely unusable.
Finally Pioneer ambition and being remotely an "APPle" radio is so ridiculous.
Do Not buy this radio!
Originally gave a 5 star... Soon became more frustrated with the "parking break warnings" who uses the parking break anyhow? Especially in parked their garage!?
Also, why such a loooooooooomnnmnngggggggg boot up? Like the guy waiting for me to back up out of a public parking stall has any empathy for " me " getting my app radio turned on.
Seriously, it has a 1 minute boot, then you have to agree that 1 parking break on, then off, then on, then click
OK . Are you kidding me!?
Why should I get a workout to apply, pull parking break, disengage, reapply..
All this after the ridiculous 1 minute boot time?!
What it does.. OK ( sounds more like radio quality... )
1 plays pandora. Just plug in and hit pandora on your iPhone.
2. Plays iTunes library ( have to click on iPod icon )
The rest is a mess... Really.
What drives me more mad is the inability to delete the " beep " I mean, if you can change the wall paper, change the font in the firmware.. Whats up with the annoying beep with volume control...
Imagine, listening to a song that you want to turn up, instead of turning a knob you click ( which is ok ) but it beeps, beeps, beeps... Every time you push + or - .
Whats more of a liability is having to click back to the iPhone to " Allow " when you plug phone into appradio!
Im not going to talk about the bluetooth and dont even think about using SIRI with it... Useless.
It could be seamless...
