Pioneer App4 CarPlay sytem

I disagree.
CarPlay is being taken on by nearly every car manufacturer AS STANDARD from next year and can be possibly updated by firmware on some older systems, so it is not just people with Pioneer Head units or any other aftermarket manufacturer.
It is also being adapted to suit Android.
If Escort are using it, then the competition also see the benefits.
Why wouldn't ALP want to do it and it would also save the money trying to develop a screen as I believe they are working on to add to another screen already in many people's car.
They should I suggest, remove the control unit as standard from their pack and have it as an option and drop the price. This would sell more units potentially and let users afford possibly to buy an extra head unit, or, just save the money.
Mine, like many others sit brand new in the box because we use either iOS or android, what a waste of money and product.

Because if you make a display, you make something EVERYONE can use. If you make something for CarPlay, you make something only a few people (who have that system) can use. Then, what do you do when CarPlay goes obsolete? Redesign it for CarPlay 2.0?

This is exactly why I don't want crap like CarPlay in any vehicle I own. I keep my vehicles for 15+ years. What do you do with crap like that when it becomes obsolete in 5 years?
