Re: Purple ZR-1 Road Trip to Yellowstone and the Pacific Northwest
Hi Bob,
I replaced the Bose system with a Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX in-dash Navigation System. It is the latest model of the Pioneer Double-DIN nav/audio systems. I have used four of the Pioneer systems. The AVIC-8100NEX is advertised as being able to run CarPlay which supposedly offers full integration with iPhone (and Android) phones. In my experience, the CarPlay has not been integrated yet and is promised for late 2015 release. The system is well integrated with my phone so hands-free calling is easy. The Navigation system is satisfactory, but has a different interface than previous models. The Places of Interest data base is very limited. I guess because the cell phone integration was supposed to provide search capability. I also don't like that the navigation screen cannot be zoomed or panned while navigating. Jim |
