Waze & AppRadio2
Hello all,
Apologies if this post is not in the right sub-forum.
I am heavily contemplating buying a new head unit for my car (my birthday will be in less than a month). And as far as I know, at present, Waze is only compatible with Pioneer's AppRadio (SPH-DA01/DA02) and AppRadio 2 (SPH-DA100). I have read reviews all over the internet (Amazon, Crutchfield, BestBuy, forums, etc.) and even though I love the concept I am getting more and more discouraged by the negative feedback posted by some users as to the usability of AppRadio2 with iPhone, it's constant warnings, issues and whatnot.
I then started researching other vendors and stumbled on JVC's KW-AV70BT and KW-AV60BT receivers. They are, for all intents and purposes, precisely what I need. But Waze is not compatible with any of the JVC units.
So my questions would go out to those that have AppRadio2 installed and working with an iPhone 4/4s (got 4s) and to the Waze developers:
1. What issues and/or gripes have you experienced with AppRadio2?
2. Should I get AppRadio2 or are there any other brands that are compatible and work better?
2. Are there any plans, or work in progress, to update Waze to be compatible with more models from various vendors? Time frame, if any?
P.S. I would like to extend my gratitude to the hard work that all the developers and the community put in this great product!
Thank you!
