User Reviews

Users praise ARC for full remote control of Pioneer head units and EQ from iPhone, plus the convenience of a second screen. However, the app suffers from persistent connectivity and stability issues, frequent crashes, compatibility problems across head units and iOS versions, inconsistent EQ functionality, and an outdated UI with missing features compared to promotional images.

Pros

Full control of the stereo from your iPhone, including playback, source selection, and remote EQ/processor settings.
EQ/audio processing control via the ARC app, allowing adjustments from the phone.
Can act as a second screen or remote, providing easier access than small head-unit controls.
Convenience of controlling the head unit from within the car without using the physical head unit controls.

Cons

Widespread connectivity issues: Bluetooth pairing and app connection failures across many head units and iOS versions.
App crashes or won’t open on various devices/older iOS versions.
Compatibility problems with multiple head units and firmware updates, causing the app to stop recognizing or controlling the deck.
EQ/processor control not reliably accessible or functioning; updates can break features.
Outdated UI/design and missing features relative to app screenshots; not formatted for newer devices.

I have the deh-s5000bt head unit and apple i14 pro max and no joy. Arc app will not connect and run although the head unit will pair and work perfectly with phone.
