What is Pioneer AppRadio

App Radio Mode brings car entertainment to a whole new level. With over 30 compatible smartphone apps specifically designed for the AppRadio mode, support for both iOS and Android, and more than 15 compatible car entertainment devices, one can easily find fit for the needs.  



Pioneer was the first market with third party CarPlay-compatible systems. Some facts below 

- Apple Car play works with iPhone , not with iPads or other iOS devices
- Bluetooth call audio uses wideband Speech profile, which delivers better speech quality
- Bluetooth Audio uses AVCRP 1.4, for data viewing / searching and control all without being tethered. 
  
Pioneer app radios is also compatible with the Android Smartphones. The entire list of Android products those were tested with Pioneer AppRadio is given in the link in references. 


The newer product lines also seems to be working with the Bluetooth. The devices have a capability to wirelessly stream audio and track meta data to the unit with basic control from the device. 

- A2DP profile for streaming 
- AVCRP profile for audio control (track metadata available on 2013 and 2012 AVIC and AVH models with ACRCP 1.3) 
- SPP (Serial Port Profile) for full on screen control of Pandora internet radio and Aha Radio apps when installed on Android device.
