Not connected to the Head unit itself for Data transfer.<br />Since I had to redo my e-brake wire anyways, I went ahead an hooked up the iPod cable to the back of the unit and shoved it into my glove box. So if I need to do an update I can access it from there. Or by chance someone with an iPod/iPohone rides in my car, they can hook up to the connection, if they want to.

The idea is awesome, the execution, lacking. We could blame the Pioneer legal team for insisting that they do so much to protect themselves from a law suit that they have crippled the head unit into a pain. Yes, I get it, I know not to watch video while I am driving. Do I really need to acknowledge that 5 times a day?<br /><br />Or should we blame the marketing type, who named the device "AppRadio". Seriously? It plays pandora, can access you ipod and works with a killer navigation app, MotionX. But "Appradio" creates an expectation that this box does not come close to meeting. In fact, the first version was more app friendly.<br /><br />Or should we blame the programmers. The reviews are true. This software is a buggy as it comes. constantly getting blank screens. Switching between Pandora and Ipod modes can get stuck (to reboot, turn your car off). And more issues too. Hoping for an update to address.... Not returning yet,,,, It does have great potential.LowRoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975374966105129975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829441521004562108.post-8492980982019823492012-05-14T06:56:54.713-07:002012-05-14T06:56:54.713-07:00This radio blows.

And yea there's 5 apps for ios and non for andriod( sorry guys)<br /> Spend the money on a better product. This thing sucks. Pioneer sucks. I used to like them but there quality sucks now. And the whole thing with having to plug in a thumb drive to update it. So dumb. Why not do it right through the useless app radio app. All that thing does as of now is piss us off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829441521004562108.post-37017563919491955902012-05-06T09:18:25.104-07:002012-05-06T09:18:25.104-07:00Is it possible to stream from the SIRIUS XM app (i...Is it possible to stream from the SIRIUS XM app (iphone) to the radio via bluetooth or other audio connection?digidanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830592788085449320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829441521004562108.post-68459960481603161732012-05-01T14:51:27.122-07:002012-05-01T14:51:27.122-07:00I think I'm returning my appradio2.
