has anyone got a headunit with this feature, im thinking of replacing my headunit and I m wondering if its any good, I cant imagine I could use co-pilot with it, but google maps works and it would be handy to be able to answer my phone.

Does Google Maps work with it? I was under the impression only Apple's own maps app works with it for navigation. At least that's all I could get working with it when I tried it out briefly in a Halfords recently. I plugged my phone into it, and it brings up all the apps that are "certified" to work with it - the only additional app that showed up on mine was Radioplayer, for streaming internet radio stations. Everything else did work really well, but I didn't see Google Maps on it. I could have just been being dumb though.....

I have, I have a Pioneer SPH-DA120 in my ST170. So far, I'm quite liking the unit though there are a few niggles:
- Apple Maps only (and dependent on cell signal, so when I went to North Devon recently I had no satnav at all)
- Occasionally won't actually put any audio through on phone calls, have to unplug the phone from the unit and put it back in to get it to work
- No album art on Now Playing (though this is a CarPlay issue, not one specifically with the unit I have)
