is noticeably easier with the head units’ larger touchscreen. Waze can be
launched from AppRadio Mode+. Users can also play videos stored in a
smartphone, as well as stream online videos via the AppRadio LIVE app. All
these apps are accessible from the new AppRadio Mode+, Pioneer’s proprietary
entertainment platform, developed to unlock the wonderful world of mobile apps.
