It's 32gb formatted as ntfs. It plays fine otherwise.

Unless there's another one that I'm missing, that's the setting I already referred to. It sets the nav volume to a single volume, so no matter what you have the master volume set to, it ALWAYS plays at that volume. A comfortable volume for slower city driving is not even audible at highway speeds (especially in a car with a lot of road noise like mine).

Is there any trick to getting Mixtrax to analyze songs on the SD card faster? I have a 32gb card with 6000 songs, and after several hours only have 120 songs analyzed. It appears it only does analysis while playing from the SD card (even with Mixtrax off, I think), but not if you're listening to Sirius or anything. I really wanted to use it during this long road trip I'm on but it's just not happening.

I've actually been meaning to start this thread for awhile myself! Sometimes it's hard to decide if it's a "problem" or an "annoyance" though! Right now my biggest annoyance is the GPS volume. It doesn't seem to be affected by the Master volume or ASL settings at all. The default volume is entirely too loud for around town driving (when everything else is perfect), so I dropped it all the way down to about 40%. But then at highway speeds I can barely hear it, while I barely need to change the other sources due to ASL. But even if I crank up the master volume it has no effect on the nav. And

This might belong in the problem thread, but it's hopefully a one-off issue. I'm on a cross-country road trip for the last 5 days, and the gps on my 8000 has been working fine. I have my final destination in since the beginning and am adding waypoints as I go when I figure out where I want to stop each night. Yesterday though, after adding a couple random points to take me on a tour of downtown Flagstaff, AZ, I stopped for dinner, and when I started up again, the GPS did a factory reset. Not the whole radio, just the GPS. It asked all the questions it asked the first time and the volume level

Why do you need to use the touchscreen to swap screens when there are hard buttons next to the screen? I just wish there was one button to swap the functions, instead of having to remember, ok, I'm in the GPS so I have to hit "mode"...ok now I'm in the radio so I have to hit "map".

The problem is that the SWC only translates the button presses into one specific command or another, which goes to the pioneer, and it doesn't matter what the source is set to, those same button presses are going to it, so they have to be implemented by that source. What pioneer really needs to do, and I think I've seen this on other units, is allow the unit to specify per source what the button mappings are. Then if I wanted to I could have mute change the preset on one source and pause on another source, if I really wanted to. And it shouldn't be that difficult to implement. For those of is

I have gotten the "parking brake not connected properly" message a couple times, probably once every two weeks. But everything is still working normally.

Yeah, white means you can tag. Generally on music stations it will be white when a song is playing. On non-music stations, like sports (like your example image), it will always be grey. It will also turn grey on music stations when ads or commentary is on. Also I believe this ties into the AutoStart and TuneScan features where it identifies and jumps to the start of songs, based on when the text changes.

Mine is set to long press and I only have to hold it for the "normal" long press time for Siri to kick in. It all depends on the mix of your cars control and which interface you use.

The issue is that as far as I've been able to tell, the Apple Digital Video adapter's Lightning port is only connected to the charging pins, so there's no physical way it would work to leave it connected that way. Stupid design but that's how it is (unless I've been mislead!).

I have the Metra unit and programmed the mute button long press for "PTT" (push to talk) and had no idea if it would do anything, but it activates Siri! I have the 8000 set to USB connection I believe, but it works when I'm just connected via Bluetooth as well.

If you have a decent home receiver, they usually have an auto eq function and come with a mic especially for that purpose.

It uses the Airplay menu on the phone to control the output which is what I was referring to. I believe the iphone still refers to Bluetooth output as airplay as well, because it is essentially the same thing.

It has nothing to do with Apple, or very little. It has to do with Pioneer and what they want to develop. There may already be clever ways to do it using existing hooks...I haven't dug into the API's to tell you.
