However, the card slot is not used for media storage and playback, but for firmware updates if and when available. From left to right, you'll find a volume rocker, a home key in the center, and-hidden behind a small door-a microSD card slot.

So, if you've got a passenger who wants to connect a BlackBerry or Android device, he or she will be out of luck. However, the omission of A2DP, along with the lack of any sort of auxiliary audio input, pretty much locks any other type of device out of the AppRadio party. A2DP audio streaming is not supported, but isn't necessary for iPhone use since it's already likely to be sending its audio via the dock connector. The vehicle's speakers provide the audio output for hands-free calls. The unit has an external microphone that can be mounted on the dashboard, visor, or steering column for increased call quality over the microphone in the iPhone itself.

Without a motorized faceplate or optical disk drive (and the dampening hardware that goes with it) weighing it down, the AppRadio saves ounces over even the average single-DIN CD receiver that's crossed our test bench.īecause of limitations on the sort of data that can be transmitted over the iPhone's dock connection, AppRadio uses Bluetooth to connect to the iPhone for hands-free calling. That's because it's basically an empty shell. Upon unboxing the AppRadio, we were amazed that-despite sharing dimensions with every other double-DIN receiver on the market-the receiver was very lightweight. If that's you, AppRadio aims to provide everything you need (such as iPhone connectivity, hands-free calling, and advanced app control) and nothing you don't (for example, an optical disk drive, multiple inputs and outputs, and compatibility with non-iPhone devices) at a seriously low price.
