AVIC Feeds
Help can't find the thread. I saw a thread on here about the AVIC Feeds app for the iphone that would let you seach for a address on your phone then load it up to your Pioneer HU from the phone. I have the app and did a seach on a address and it found it no problem but for the life of me I could no figure out how to get it to load on my Pioneer Z120 and have the proceedure for swapping the location from the phone to the HU?

Search for the address in the feeds app.
Once you find what you're looking for, drop a new pin or tap on the teardrop icon to get the text bubble to pop up.
Tap the ">" in the bubble to get to the text description with the address shown.
On the description page tap "save" in the top right corner. That will add the address into your iphone contacts list (in the AVICFEEDS group).
Go to your car, let iphone sync with AVIC via bluetooth.
On radio, click on phone then contacts.
Anything in your contacts with a GPS tag will show up with a red square to the left of the name, tap on one of those and it will figure out how to get there.
TIP: my saved items always seem to show up under "#" alphabetically, so I've been renaming them (with the same name), and they go to the proper letter.

A lot of reviews are posted saying the app doesn't work. It wouldn't work on my phone at first either, but the latest app update AND the latest iphone software update are doing just fine for me.
I absolutely love this app. If google maps can find something, then you can get directions in a few taps in the car without having to search for it or type in an address.
