iPhone Wireless Possible?? School Zone Warning NAV Possible?

Some would consider Bluetooth to be wireless. What kind of wireless connectivity are your referring to?

My Garmin 2797 does give school zone warnings and I LOVE it. 3rd part NAV's have always been more feature rich than in dash NAV's. In dash car NAV's have sucked from day one and have not improved much since then. Not to be obvious, but school zones are your job to catch and relying on tech to find them is dangerous.

For the Prime NAV, and every other Toyota with NAV prior to 2018, you must get the map updates via MicroSD card or USB update depending on the vehicle. The 2018 Camry ONLY has Entune 3.0 which can update the maps over the air on certain trim levels. Toyota is changing, slowly, but changing.

I'd suggest waiting another ~5 years on a new vehicle to suit your needs or just get a Garmin and be satisfied today.

 

The prime will alert you to changes in speed limit. Granted it's map based and so can be stale, but I've found it to consistently alert me to drops in the speed limit whenever I'm going through a school zone. I have it set so it displays the speed during a change in my HUD. Only issue is it doesn't know if school is in session or not so it always makes the most pessimistic projection and says that the lower speed is always in effect.

In NJ we have two types of shool speed limits... "when flashing" and "when children present". You would not have gotten ticketed in the later (or at least you would have had a fighting chance).

 

doesn't seem right, my wife's i phone 5 works fine with the 2013 hycam. maybe i phone 7 is a problem?

 

My iPhone 7 connects just fine over bluetooth, but the included entune apps like slacker or iheart radio are not really loud enough. (not that I'd really use them anyway.)

 

I don't know if it's the same case with your phone, but on my Galaxy S7 Edge the reason Pandora does not play very loud is because there's a setting in volume adjustments for media on the phone which always defaults to below halfway, so when I turn on Pandora on my car I go to the phone a turn the media volume to maximum it then comes in very loud on the car.

 

Nah, I already tried that, it doesn't make a difference to change the volume on the phone. Iv'e seen something like this dicussed about the iPhone a lot, not just for our Primes, it seems to be a weakness. If you get everything right, it's supposed to work, but the same settings don't seem to work for everyone. No clue why. If it's streaming music from the iphone itself (itunes based stuff), it is loud enough...
