Looking for an aftermarket stereo with touchscreen control of iPhone 5 apps/music/phone calls, but I don't want to have to connect the phone cord each time ... Android can do it via Bluetooth, but I haven't found any radios which say they can do the same for iPhone.
Do they exist? If not, why not?
Thanks!!
why not what ??
Do you mean why does no aftermarket stereo manufacture produce what you seem to be looking for ?
Why would an Apple Community Technical forum have any idea why not
Look at Pioneer ,and Alpine to name two
Pioneer have indicated they will have a Carplay compatible package this year sometime
What an interesting and unfriendly response. I thought in an Apple Community Technical forum someone might have some technical insight into why Apple products don't appear to be capable of this at this time, or whether they might have plans to add capability later. Since I linked here directly from the Apple official site, it isn't unreasonable to think some actual Apple employees might cruise this site.
At any rate, I didn't find an Alpine or Pioneer that allows touchscreen app control without hooking up the cord. I will read up on Carplay, but the Apple website seemed to indicate that a cord hookup is required.
Car stereos which control apps via Bluetooth on my iPhone 5?
