Double din - dab - car play -Pioneer

[dotty]

After hours of research I have ordered one of these.

http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/apple-carplay/pioneer-avic-f70dab-car-stereo-with-apple-carplay-and-android-auto

Not from Halfords as they have none left it seems, even tried to order one via Halfords Ireland as suggested to me but they still don't have any there either.

Anyone have any experience with the above head unit?

I wanted to buy one but it just seems overpriced for what it does and I'd only go for one if you use Car Play or Android Auto but I'm sure that's why you went for it?

From what I've seen it is very responsive, I'm sure you will enjoy it eitherway!

I have this unit, it looks fantastic, the sat nav is very very good.

IMO You'll need to add:

However, Car play / siri is a load of shite. But, me thinks the fault lies with apple.

£600 and they don't even give you a DAB antenna? I bought a £150 Kenwood and that even has one included lol.

Yeah I was pretty pissed off.

I assumed the GPS one was a joint DAB/GPS thing, nope

5 days after I installed it, it packed up and spent 4 weeks back with Pioneer, lol. It's still a great unit, I promise.

I dont think the appradio and ARunchained cane be beaten for the money. Atleast with android anyway.

I couldn't do without google maps these days especially with live traffic. It has saved hours of my life.

My Appradio was £110 second hand, ARunchained app was about £20. It is responsive and audio, satnav, hands free, video if needed works perfectly. All done with complete screen mirroring from my phone. (S5)

Had a look at some speakers today at the local Ice fitter.

Have ordered some Audison prima apk165's components for the front.

I have ordered some Audison apx6.5 for the rears.

Audio guy demo'd this set up on the model of the head unit I've bought and it sounds superb.

Any amps going in/ already in out of interest?

 

[dotty]

Not at the minute. Already over my 1k ice limit with the fitting of this lot to be done.

where you put the high's? in the OEM spots?

Prima is hairly OK compared to the more expensive Voce series. but do you put any lightweight noise dampening in the doors/rear too?
