That's what the AppRadio 3 allows. Turns my iPhone 5 into a 7" touchscreen in my dash.

not exactly. AppRadio 3 doesnt allow that image you posted (apps on homescreen in-dash), you have to jailbreak and use a parking-break-switch to get full, interactive access to the head unit's touchscreen. the stock AP3 is actually pretty limited.

Should be on ios20 by the time I can afford a car that has an ios7 interface... depending on how difficult upgrading the OS will be
why wouldnt you just get an aftermarket head unit? currently models support apps, Siri Eyes-free, etc... 300 bucks.

Please don't tell me you're actually enough of a sheep to buy an entire car for this as opposed to just buying a new stereo...
you cant recognize a joke, but you call him "sheep"? grow up, son.

Let's just hope you can use Google Maps OR Apple Maps... Hate to see them lock in their own map as default again.
it will without a doubt be Apple Maps. it doesnt just port out the display of a nav app to the head unit's screen, it has a custom touch interface...that means its using internal iOS APIs, not just outputting video. they are only going to code that for their own app.
if google were so inclined they could write their own external-display-enabled touchscreen-enabled app, and offer it for devices like Pioneer's AppRadio. google's Waze app supports AR today, but not their primary maps app.

Well considering my car has a built in nav screen and aftermarket stereos generally suck (and are a PITA to retrofit) I'd consider a new car.
Would love to use Waze 100% integrated into the nice 8" LCD in my car. Would love to have the integration with streaming media apps, other apps. So yeah I would consider a new car if I could get 100% integration into the infotainment system. It makes sense - my phone has awesome capabilities that can be infinitely upgraded. Make a good interface from that into the car and I'm sold.
1) most modern cars can readily accept a double-DIN aftermarket head unit. removing your stock one is a piece of cake. just pay somebody at a local auto mobile shop.
2) Waze already supports the Pioneer AppRadio 3. plug in your phone, use the AR menu to launch Waze. done.

I would want a hardware home button (that would bring up Siri if you held it down), a separate power/standby button to quickly blank/mute everything, and either separate volume +/- buttons or a volume dial. My Parrot Asteroid uses an on-screen volume slider, and it's actually not very practical to reach over and tap-tap-tap or swipe around the screen while you're driving. 99% of the time I use the hardware volume buttons mounted on my steering wheel instead.
the AppRadio 3 has physical volume buttons as well as a physical Home button that triggers Siri. you can buy it today. many head units like AR also let you wire in your steering wheel buttons.
