App Radio 3

xTETOVABOYx · 07-11-2013, 01:29 AM

So im shopping around for a new head unit i wanted to try out the app radio 2 but recently i found out the appradio 3 has been released , Has anybody played with one yet ? looks quite promising with the cd/dvd option and iphone 5 capability so im sure the ones who have installed ipad mini's in the cubby would have good use to something like this.

heres a link for the ones who did not know it was out yet .

Pioneer AppRadio 3

Im very happy with the Appradio 2, but Id get the Appradio 3 in a heartbeat. The ability to stream music makes it more than worthwhile. Appradio 2 needs to be plugged into the HU. Its nice for short trips not to have to plug in. Really thats my only complaint about the Appradio 2.

DVD I can live without.

Only 2v Pre Amp out on the head units.. Not a fan if that. Other wise I like the idea.

This is what stopped me from getting it since I need 4v for my stock Bose system. I went with the AVH-X5500BHS instead.

Im glad I didnt know this when I bought the unit as it might have also kept me from buying it. Turns out it wasnt a big deal for me as I got what seems like excellent sound to my non audiophile ears.

Can you not use as good of amps with only 2 volt?

You can use the best amps out there, but with lower voltage pre outs you have more noise induced in the travel though the car hence a higher noise to sound ratio.

so what your saying is that this head unit is not gonna have a good audio quality no matter what speakers i choose or amps. compared to lets say a Pioneer avic-z150bh since thats a 4v? or am i understanding this the wrong way?.

People have described the app radios as "dangerous" bc you have to fidget with your phone if you want to do anything.

The app radio is best described as a monitor where your phone is the "brain" or computing center.

You don't fidget with the phone. Just plug it in and use the head unit for launching everything like any other system.

Jailbroken people wont have that issue as you can control your phone from the app radio , i don't know if this works on the app radio 3 , nor do i know if appradio extensions will work with a iPad mini. once i can get my hands on one i can let everyone else know and probably make a video if nobody beats me to it which i hope somebody does lol.
