What is the AVICSYNC App?

The AVICSYNC App is a dynamic companion
app that you can use to connect your iPhone
or smartphone to a compatible Pioneer in-car
navigation system.
Once linked, the in-car navigation system
communicates with your iPhone or smart­phone (Android) to share information such as
contacts, navigation history, planned routes,
POI favorites, and even where you parked your
vehicle.
With the AVICSYNC App, your navigation sys­tem can also access Premium connected ser­vices such as real-time local search and
weather, traffic, parking, and gas (petrol) price
data lookup to ensure that you’ll have all the
information you need to reach your desired
destination.
In addition to augmenting your Pioneer in­dash navigation experience, AVICSYNC App
also works as a standalone navigation app.
This means that you’ll always have access to
Pioneer’s accurate turn-by-turn navigation,
even when you’re not in your vehicle.

Compatibility and
connectivity

You need to install the free AVICSYNC App to
your iPhone or smartphone (Android). To use
the AVICSYNC App function, both iPhone or
smartphone (Android) compatibility with the
AVICSYNC App and connectivity with the in­car navigation system are required.
