Pioneer 4100NEX installed

[vt_hokie2008]

I've done both (I'm on Android, wife is iPhone). Carplay's layout for a home screen is a bit better (shows you 6 or 8 apps to choose from) whereas Android has 5 buttons across the bottom that have apps grouped by what they do (maps, music, etc). Carplay recognizes the phone faster, but no google maps (Android Auto has gmaps). Overall both are nice and do what you want. I know Carplay is wireless now, but not on this head unit, still gotta plug in. The charging rate is only 1.6a, so my phone barely charges if playing music and barely discharges if using gmaps. I'm thinking about cutting open the usb cables and running power to it from a 12v car adapter to get fast charging.

clean install!

will the face tilt with the way it is mounted?

 

[vt_hokie2008]

It will, but it's like others here where it rub the dash kit & struggles a bit. I don't plan on tilting/opening it pretty much ever, so no big deal for me.

Planning to put one in? I can give you a parts list and everything for it. If you have Bose, which type of amp you have will determine how it has to be wired.

I would love a parts list since I plan on installing one of these this weekend!

nice, i might be going this route. thanks for the info.

I need this. Google maps is way better then any gps unit I have used.

 

[DjJayFrree]

any more pros and cons of this unit? I just saw this post now and am looking at this vs. a OEM nav install. I'm an apple guy so want smooth nav as well as video playback.

 

[vt_hokie2008]

I can't comment on the Apple side, I'm all Android (wife has Apple, but we only hooked it up to see what it looks like). Android Auto is working well. Fingerprints are an issue as expected, the unit seems to have an issue switching to the backup camera when it should (does it 50% of the time), but otherwise I'm liking it a lot.
