Hi all I have a Pioneer AVIC-F70DAB with a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 connected.
It seems to be working OK but I am having trouble using it to navigate to appointments in my calendar. The issue is that I'm not seeing my appointments on the home screen consistently.
Can anyone explain what the criteria are for an appointment to be displayed in the aa home screen please?
For instance, does location need to be on on the phone?
Does it need a data/network connection etc. ?
I can get appointments to display but it's usually after I have arrived, which isn't much use :confused:
Any help appreciated.

The criteria for Now stuff showing up on AA are fuzzy and undefined. :( Locations we don't want end up there with no way to remove them I think.

In general, AA and it's associated apps want Internet access full time.

Maps/Navigation in particular want Internet while in use. Maps outside of AA has some better offline capabilities now, but AA navigation still very much "desires" it.

Thanks Mikereidis, I think I'm being too impatient with it ?. If I turn location services on and wait a while they seem to appear. Bit of a pain if i want to get in the car and head off but at least I can get it working now ?
