Don't think so. CarPlay is only compatible with Apple Maps (for now). Still a worthwhile upgrade - it's a nice unit.

Thanks for your reply.
My current unit has GPS and App Radio doesn't.....I would have to rely on Apple or Google Maps. I want the maps stored on the device so I don't depend on an Internet connection..... Navigon is even better than the Pioneer GPS.
I guess I'll wait

Hey Siri has always been a little iffy on my App4 unit, but lately it is not recognizing it at all. Anyone else have this problem?
It appears that the CarPlay-enabled Pioneer AVH-4000NEX can go beyond SDHC & 32GB. It was tested to handle a 256GB PNY SDXC formatted in NTFS ($96). I wonder if this holds true to USB flash drives north of 32GB like the 256GB PNY USB 3 flash drive ($70).

Unless you drive a Ferrari where the resale value plummets $40,000 if a non-Ferrari certified mechanic refills your windshield washer fluid, install it yourself. It's really easy to do and you can find instructions for your car if you google.

Yes, you can listen to SiriusXM while in Carplay.
Don't really care about that as I would still like to charge my phone at the same time so being wired makes no difference to me.
This ^. I like charging and using CarPlay at the same time. Would be nice if it were wireless but would kill the battery.
Some CarPlay units also have integrated GPS and some don't. I've heard that for those that do, Apple Maps in CarPlay will actually use that GPS even when there is no cellular service. Can anyone confirm?
I love the new Carplay on my AppRadio 4 I just dont always have it hooked up. I stream music ITunes, Pandora and etc wireless but i dont like having it hooked up to car play and have siri start reading my MSG a loud so everyone can here this. have you found a way to turn that feature off. and not pop up with notification on the screen you have a msg.
Pic of the installation - v nice upgrade to an 8 year old vehicle
nice which one is that as its not the 8000 cause the buttons are across the bottom not the side...
I can't confirm in that instance, but I do know that iOS will cache map data for when there is low/no connectivity. I've browsed Maps on my cellular-capable iPad while connected with wifi and then drove 30 miles away. Those iPads have GPS chips, so I was trying out turn-by-turn directions (this was with iOS 6, as my iPhone 4 at the time did not have that), but I wasn't paying for cellular coverage on it at the time. I'd assume that CarPlay would offer a similar arrangement.
It's not as clean, but it seems to work just as well (if not better), but I'm going with iPad Air 2 + iOttie iPad car mount + bluetooth. The iOttie mounts to the dash and hangs down in front of your vents so it doesn't block your view. If you have a LTE version (or hotspot to your phone), you have everything CarPlay has and more.
Where can I find a list of carplay apps currently? Thanks I am wondering are US and Canada apps different? Not sure how carplay works. If i can get the app on my phone and its supported by carplay it should work correct?
