In-Dash Navigation with iPhone4
A few days ago I received a catalog from Crutchfield in the mail. I noticed on the first few pages that they were highlighting a number of new head units that had app support for iPhone. I became a little irritated when I got to the page with the new JVC KW-AVX840, because I bought the JVC KW-AVX830 about two months ago. So, I looked into what apps are the JVC KW-AVX840 supported. Basically, the only app I could find was "MotionX GPS Drive". I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $0.99 and buy the app to try it out my existing JVC KW-AVX830. Not surprisingly when I connected my iPhone and started the app, the stereo displayed squat.
However, I have learned that you can watch Netflix and YouTube videos if you trick the head unit into thinking it is playing video. So I decided to try the same trick with the MotionX GPS Drive, and it worked!
I would be interested to hear if this works with other stereos. |
This is awesome. I love MotionX GPS Drive and was looking for a new stereo. Thanks for this post.

Just downloaded motionX HD and uploaded all my trail tracks - on my iPad. Looks like an awesome $3 solution for GPS with a large screen. I'll post a write-up in the next couple days.
