Pioneer to make CarPlay-compatible car radios

With the departure of iOS 7.1, Apple has enabled the new feature to bring iOS to the car, C. In this way, users can control what happens to their iPhone from the car console via Siri voice commands or by touching the touch screen. Thus the user can be guided on the road through Apple maps, make phone calls and messages, as well as listen to their favorite music from the iTunes library or streaming services.

The only downside is that it will take a car that integrates this technology, but these models will not be so accessible, since it will be mostly high-end vehicles. But it comes into play Pioneer, the manufacturer of electronic systems for the car, according to the website MacRumors, I would have plans to create radios that are compatible with CarPlay.

In this way, it will not be necessary to spend a large amount of money on a car that has CarPlay implemented as standard, if our model meets certain requirements to be able to install one. large screen radio console, we will be able to install the radio models that Pioneer creates. They are not expected to be very affordable, but it is a much cheaper solution than purchasing a vehicle like those presented at the Geneva Motor Show, which will go on sale in 2014.

In relation to this Mercedes-Benz They have already promised that they would create radios for their current models compatible with CarPlay, so that if we have a vehicle from the German company as recent as possible we will make sure to enjoy this feature by buying the accessory later. Remember that Apple closed agreements with the main car brands in the world such as Honda, Ford, Jaguar, Hyundai, Volvo, Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, but we think that the deal should have been made with an automobile electronics company like Pioneer, Sony or Blaupunkt, to reach more users.

So when you want to buy a vehicle you will look for the integration of CarPlay with the model, you think that perhaps soon Pioneer will have a radio with CarPlay for the vehicle and we don't have to pay much more money for an extra at the dealership. Surely shortly the other brands of car radios will start working on getting compatible radios for many models of vehicles with this feature, as they can be a success.
