With the app running on a compatible iPhone connected to an AppRadio Mode in-dash audio head-unit, users have access to various Pioneer partner services directly on the Pioneer touchscreen. By combining these services into a single app, AppRadioLIVE eliminates the need to individually open different apps to access content from partners such as Feedly®, Stitcher®, Eventseeker®, INRIX®, Yelp® and more, greatly simplifying the user’s experience. The dynamic home screen of AppRadioLIVE provides an interactive interface divided into four quadrants consisting of maps, music, news information, and calendar events. By selecting one of the four quadrants, the driver can bring the necessary information into focus with a full screen view.
