Pioneer's marketing manager Gaurav Kulshrestha had this to say about the launch of the AVIC-F80BT:
The AVIC-F80BT is powered by Apple CarPlay which gives iPhone users an incredibly intuitive way to make calls, listen to music and access messages with just a word or touch. We have also introduced the HDMI feature which enables wired or Wireless projection of smartphones on the head unit using select Miracast dongles. This enables one to sit back and stream his/her favorite movies, videos and photos on head unit screen through a smartphone.
