In-car entertainment behemoths Pioneer launch Apple’s CarPlay, which will be made available on the AVIC-F970BT touch screen car entertainment system.
The AVIC-F970BT is one of the newest additions to the company’s wide range of touch-screen car entertainment systems. Equipped with a multi-touch 6.2” display, the AVIC-F970BT combines high quality audio and video with navigation through built-in maps. This CarPlay supports the iPhone 5 or later models and can use ‘Siri’ to make and receive calls, compose and respond to text messages, and also listen to music.
Commenting on the launch of the AVIC-F970BT, Minoru Ogawa, Managing Director, Pioneer India said “Pioneer has once again proved that we are the leader in Indian In-Car Entertainment industry by introducing the first CarPlay compatible products. It is our constant effort to provide our customers with the latest technologies to make their In-Car Entertainment systems, easy & fun to use. It is our expertise in technology, especially smart phone connectivity with our products, which makes us the first choice of Indian consumers.”
CarPlay compatibility will also be available for the existing Pioneer AVH-X8690BT but will require firmware update. With Apple Airplay enabled In-Car Entertainment Systems, one will be able to upgrade their music systems in order to enjoy this smarter, safer and more fun way to use Apple products in the car.
