Does this really not work completely with the iPhone 5? By Completely i mean, using the GPS apps and video function?

I believe that is correct. Something about the new "lightning" adapter for iphone 5 not transferring video (audio only). I don't have the special iphone cable JVC sells but I'm fairly certain that even with that cable, no video applications will work. There is mention on JVC's web page that they are working on a fix but the last time I checked, they still haven't released anything yet. It works fine with the iPhone 5 for everything else (bluetooth, music, etc.) through a standard apple lightning to usb cable. Hope that helps.

I tried the new 30 pin to 5 pin adapter so my iPhone 5 was hooked into the JVC iphone adapter and the problem is that the JVC will only accept analog from the iphone 5. I can use Bluetooth to get my contact list from the iphone, but apps do not work. I can get the music to play, but since I have an ipod, I don't need this feature. Hopefully this will be corrected when JVC comes out with a firmware upgrade. I contacted JVC tech support and they wouldn't say anything about any future firmware upgrades. You would think with all the iphone 5 sales, that JVC would address this issue, but so far not one of their products supports the iphone 5.

When it came to the GPS function, I didnt really find it helpful. The map on the camera does not show you pin point where you are. Its just a map unless I did it wrong. It does come with a disk to download but I didnt do that either. I think it supposed to GPS tag your photo but I didnt see that either so I just treat it as a camera without GPS.

You should have a forward track, back track and play/pause. If that's the case ya might have little issue. I'm assuming your using with an iOS device? If not i can't help ya. If so I would swap them out. Mine dont do that with my iphone5.

Yes at least usually. I used to like this unit but mine got stolen so I went out and tried all three of the leading brands and came to the conclusion that none of them are as good as the built-in one in the iPhone. That is to say the Google map which is great compared to the Apple map app which is inferior. Unfortunately none of the GPS know about the hills of San Francisco so once in a while it'll send your over a "mountain" instead of around it. some of the hills around here actually big enough to be called mountains like Twin Peaks for example.

Yes, I have attempted several times to make it work, but it just won't. I have also tried with an older iPod touch and it still doesn't work. The battery keeps the ipod charged, but no go on the gps, which is why I bought it. If anyone can help me, Id appreciate it!

Yea it will still work. I dont have a GPS neither and it works fine for me.

Yes, I know the others say no, but when I've loaded the pics on my iPad, you can see the location on the map. I don't know how you do that without GPS

Yes. GPS works very well. I've used it while traveling in new york and was able to get directions.

It will talk you through via Bluetooth. It also has a video jack for input, just not sure if it will play the video from gps. I would think so, I just have not tried.

Yes, I used it with my iPhone 5. The only issue I had was that when using the WIFI connection on the phone to connect with the Elm327 WIFI Wirless OBD2 OBD-II, no other data transfer worked. This means that you cannot use Google Maps, Streaming Audio, or get text messages while the phone is connected. There may be a way to make it work, but I couldn't fine it. I ended up using an old phone that I had laying around as a dedicated OBDII interface device. Works great this way. I use it with Dash Command to monitor everything while driving.

It works great on a Wi-Fi only iPad. I'm not familiar withWaze navigation I use motion X and it works great. It should work on any GPS app.

It usually works fine with Apple Maps for me. It has been more intermittent with Google Maps.

I have not gotten it to play music while I am using GPS. However, I didn't hook up all the extra wires either because the instructions suck! GPS map update? I don't know about updating GPS maps because the original seller should know this answer and they never respond. They always send us consumers questions to answer for others. Rear view camera at night? I don't know because first: I did not receive a camera from the seller even though they said that it was in the box and they lied to me. I bought my own camera and get this: There is a separate button you push to engage the rear view camera after you put it into reverse gear. Weird, right? What do you expect from non-US made products.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Good morning! I am apologize to inform you that I have never used it for that is particular function. However, the GPS function is astonishing! It has been used all through the US and South America with no problem! I hope this helps!

I believe it is set up to work with IPhone, IPad or Android system and you have to download Garmin North America or Garmin map programs! Works great but wish the miles/hour were the big letters and the direction the small ones when not using the GPS directions! Highly recommend it for a simple HUD system at lower cost!

Yes, It works on my Apple IPad. I've used the maps function and it works great. If the GPS did't work the map function wouldn't work.
