Pioneer Demos Latest CarPlay-Enabled Aftermarket Receiver at Paris Auto Show
Earlier today, Pioneer kicked off the Paris Motor Show with the announcement it was making CarPlay available to select existing car audio receivers. The manufacturer also was present at the event showcasing CarPlay on its just-announced AppRadio 4 smartphone receiver in an exhibit that was recorded by French blog Mac4Ever.
At a suggested retail price of $600, the new AppRadio 4 (SPH-DA120) is positioned as the lowest-cost CarPlay system from Pioneer and ships with built-in support for CarPlay and Siri Eyes Free to provide on-dash and hands-free navigation, messaging and more. The AppRadio 4 CarPlay demo is only a minute long, but it shows decent responsiveness of the Apple-driven interface on the receiver's touchscreen display.
Pioneer is among the first car audio manufacturers
to add CarPlay support to aftermarket car receivers, allowing users to install the Apple technology into their existing cars. CarPlay
also will debut in new automobile models from a variety of automobile makers such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, GM, Honda and others.

It's not like the iPhone 6's and 6 Plus's will be able to pair with it right now anyway. :D

The interface is different from your phone. All the tap targets are made to be larger and easier to touch which is more important in a car.
