I was also wondering why pioneer included a GPS receiver when the headunit itself does not come with any built-in GPS maps. 

Does Android Auto or Apple Carplay somehow utilize the headunit's GPS receiver?

Yes, read my earlier post.

Easiest is to see the specs or look behind the unit for a connector for a GNSS antenna.

TS got lost in a tunnel?

He couldn't come out because gps no signal?

You don't need a gps in a tunnel.

You go in one end you come out the other end.

That's how tunnels work.
