Pioneer Corporation have announced one of the first aftermarket in-dash car multimedia systems to provide Apple CarPlay, allowing consumers the ability to upgrade the vehicle they already own to the smarter, safer and more fun way to use iPhone in the car. CarPlay compatibility will be available in Australia by early winter 2014.

Utilising large, in-dash Pioneer LCD displays, CarPlay featuring Siri voice control, gives iPhone users the CarPlay features while allowing them to stay focused on the road.  With CarPlay, consumers with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5 can use Siri to make and receive calls, compose and respond to text messages, use Apple Maps for navigation and listen to their music, podcasts and iTunes Radio.

“Pioneer’s years of expertise integrating smartphone connectivity into the automotive environment has provided us the opportunity to be among the first to offer CarPlay to drivers,” said Chris Kotis, General Manager Sales & Marketing of Pioneer Electronics Australia Pty Ltd. “By providing an aftermarket option, Pioneer’s 2014 in-dash multimedia systems will give many iPhone owners the ability to add CarPlay to their current vehicles.”

In addition to a host of on-board navigation and embedded entertainment options, Pioneer’s 2014 in-dash multimedia systems boast a more advanced and responsive user interface than previous Pioneer in-dash receivers as well as many sound quality, convenience and safety enhancements.
