Will I hear spoken Apple iOS (iPhone 4S) maps navigation commands wirelessly over bluetooth, or do I need to connect the iPhone via USB?

Hey Thomas, yes you should be able to hear them fine, i have the 4s too and I use voice navigation with google maps connected to blue tooth all the time when driving in the city. Have had the unit installed in my car for 6 months now and haven't had any problems. It also works with USB if you need to charge.

you need to have bluetooth version 4 on tour phone in order to support voice comand

Then just use the include speaker cable until apple updates firmware. Works fine with all my Bluetooth 3&4 devices.

It is built right into the app. Make sure your device has Bluetooth 4. If not you won't be able to install the software and use it.

The GNS 5870 GPS receiver works over bluetooth with any wifi only ipad and others also. You can use it with any navigation app of which there are dozens. Also Navionics charts. I have also used Navigon and Igo for road navigation. Plus google maps, open street maps, Galileo etc.

I use an iPod. Do not need a voice or data plan with it. I think you need to use a GPS program that has all the maps installed when you download the app. ie Magellan Roadmate.

You can't call siri up using the button (at least I haven't found a way), but if you start siri you'll have a mixed experience. Sometimes it's workable, other times it hinders use. Most times expect to have to use it a couple times unsuccessfully before you get a successful use. Also, while using navigation you'll get cut off instructions from Siri turn by turn. I get around this by playing Spotify, Pandora, Music, etc. while using GPS. It seems having that playing stops the cut off audio issue. Not sure if it's a Bluetooth issue or a software issue.

You need the cable for app radio mode . Bluetooth will only give you audio.

Yes and No. You cannot install an app to do navigation on this unit. With that said, if you have Garmin installed on your iPhone 5S, and you connect the phone with the USB cable to the radio, then you can display the GPS map from the phone on the Radio display! The display is just a display, and has no ability to do touch commands. You control the app from your phone. It works but I was not that impressed with the quality of the image on the radio. Hope this helps. PD. BTW... It is a great radio! My favorite feature, I love streaming Pandora from my phone to the unit. If you connect an iPhone via USB cable and run the Pandora app on the radio, it will by-pass the commercials, giving you pure music! Even better, on an Android phone, you can connect via BT and still have the commercial free Pandora (no cable needed). It works great. Also I strongly, very strongly, suggest you also get a rear view camera installed. Will never have a car without a rear view camera. That is the best. All cars should have it.

No. The phone audio is not routed over the Bluetooth connection to the device. Only music/alert sounds are routed. You can use this for your music and if you get a phone call the audio remains in the iPhone 5. I own this device and use it with the iPhone 5.

Assuming the process is similar to the iPod:Enable Bluetooth on the iPhoneHold the telephone button on the headset until the blue and red lights flash quicklyTap the Connecting... icon on the iPhoneThat's really all there is to it. When the iPhone indicates it has Connected to the headset, you are good to go. The lights should stop blinking on the headset, too. You can now use the headset.

Which app you use does not matter because the car kit has no integration with the navigation app. I use IGO primo navigation app with my iPhone. You just connect the car kit to your phone via bluetooth. Then the audio output of your phone is directed to the car kit's speaker.

Yes. You can make a call from the bluetooth headset. Click the call button on the headset and it will allow you to make voice commands.

No I haven't had this problem at all. I have and iPhone 4S with all the latest updates. I can access my playlist, music, GPS, and make and receive phone calls. You may want to try and plug the Bluetooth into your computer to get all the latest updates for it. Hope that works for ya.

If you're using the device and using your phone for a GPS as well (tested with google maps gps) then it will speak over your conversation to give you directions. Slightly annoying for the conversation, but at least you'll get where you're going. It does NOT allow music streaming through the device, ONLY phone and map voice. It also does NOT allow for google-chat voice conversation, ONLY phone and skype.

Yes, yes and yes. Bluetooth works perfectly to music or any app that generates sound (YouTube or SMS alert sound or even google maps turn by turn directions that you could have running on background)If you allow the DEH6400BT to download your phone contacts at pairing, it will show the name, otherwise only the calling number. There is a menu to configure downloading.You can pair 3 different phones at the same time.USB will charge your phone or Iphone and for iPhone 4S and 3GS it charges faster than original outlet adapter.

Play's the music that is on your phone and yes you can talk thru it and it will speak the GPS. It works just as your speaker on your phone when connected via Bluetooth. But I am not happy with the battery life. It seems like it has to be charged a lot so you have wire from lighter to unit a real lot
