Appincar

[S_J_P]

I took delivery of an Aygo x-clusive today, and having paired my iPhone, sorted out calling, streaming, and USB music playing I turned my attention to the Pioneer Appincar app for mirroring the 'phone display, but found app reviews less than complimentary and the "manual" a complete waste of space. I'm not even sure whether you connect using bluetooth, the charging lead, or a dedicated cable.

Has anyone got Appincar working on an iPhone 5? Are there any connection and usage guides?

Mirrorlink on Aygo with iPhone requires a dedicated lead and is currently only compatible with 4 & 4S and nothing higher

Oh well, I shan't be spending any more time on trying to get it working then!

Any idea whether the text/e-mail integration of the media system works withe the iPhone 5, whilst the calls/music has set-up ok, the text and e-mail options are greyed out.

Perfect! Great information, not so good that sms/e-mail aren't supported, but good to know I needn't keep trying.

Thanks!

Initially my wife's Aygo X-Cite wouldn't receive sms via iPhone 5. However we re paired it when connected and now sms is received and displayed on the x-touch screen...

I got the mirror link cable for my iphone4 (Citroen dealer part) and it functions to an extent but it needs further development to be usable.

Have you go the Satnav option in your new car?

You almost certainly have the 2 button version of the radio system?

For CarPlay to work you need the 3 button version fitted from 2018/2019 onwards. These can often be found on eBay (other auction sites are available) and in local car breakers. These are a direct plug'n'play replacement provided you don't have the Toyota sat nav option (which much be unplugged).

Hi

Yes I have a 2 button radio system, I don't really want to spend that much buying a 3 button version.

Do the USB wireless dongles work?

I use one and it works great, but that won't solve the lack of CarPlay on a 2 button unit as they just change wired CarPlay into wireless CarPlay - so if you don't have wired CarPlay then it will just be an interesting piece of useless scrap.

This thread is about mirrorlink what was only supported by a few manufactures on limited models It's now defunct, there is no cheap way to get CarPlay or Android auto working on your current radio, avoid no name Chinese tat, it's not worth the time money or hassle
