    does it not show them at all or are they greyed out? When you touch the down arrow after pushing the home key, do any of the inputs show up. Do any other inputs show up?

    I am sure you have to use a thumb drive in the number 1 usb slot, for this to work.

    I have always used intel SSD for my usb #2, i started out with 160gb, then upped it to 480gb. I am currently filling my 1 TB with a ton of movies. When i get a chance to look it up, i will post the brand of my sdcard. I have it posted here on this forum some where. The key to large sdcard, is to fill it once and leave it. People have lost info when they continually deleted and added files. I don't know why, but it has happened. something about the controller being designed for xfat and not fat32. Not sure.

    I have used the 256gb sdcard since the unit was new, formatted to fat32. Works fine. My avh4000nex is 2014 model.

    I used to be more active in this forum, but for last 2 years, I have not been using my Pioneer (battery was replaced and the calibration was off on my screen and i could not enter password) Anyway, I was wondering what size sdcard, hdd, or ssd are you guys using for your media files, ie songs, movies, etc.? I just installed my avh4000nex into my 02 lexus and have a 256 gb sdcard full of mp4 movies and a 1 tb full of music and more mp4 movies.

    Only when the call was set to private, then had to use the phone.

    I have replaced the buttons (same scenario) ant it fixed it. I also replaced touchscreen after it was cracked by an idiot. A little tedious, but doable.

    Have you tried to reset, using paper clip in the tiny hole on the right side of the >>| button?
  13. joemamma1954
    You have to use Apple A/V digital adapter that sends digital signal, via hdmi. Go to settings and on input for smartphone, set connection to digital adapter. Turn apple CarPlay off.

    The micro bypass for 20.00 is the easiest. Easy to install, never worry about it again.

    I thought my unit was toast. Touch Calibration was off, could not enter password. Copied the files on 16 gb thumb drive and inserted in #1 USB. Booted up to Password Screen and in a couple of seconds, the option screen came up and scrolled to factory reset. After reset, cycled power off then on. Asked if I wanted to set password and I declines. After this, I reformatted thumb drive and unzipped latest firmware onto it. Updated the firmware and everything is operating correctly. A Big Thank You to You. Saved me some money.

    Dual zone means you can hook up rear audio/video via RCA(video) and 3.5 to RCA(Audio) to rear monitor or headrest monitor. Then passengers can watch video and audio thru headphones, while drivers listens to audio of his choice, thereby dual zone.

    I actually got a new genuine Pioneer off EBay for 10.00. You are right though, needs to be genuine Pioneer, not aftermarket.

    I format my drives using Mac drive utility, and format fat32. I realize NTFS is faster and on my Windows PC, that is what I use. NEX will not read xfat, and fat32 works better for me on the NEX. I originally used NTFS, but I switched because the way it categorized or something, can't remember exactly why. Either way, all my storage hooked up to my NEX is fat32, and never have any problems. If xfat was supported, then NEX would support larger SDCards than 32gb. It does not really matter if NTFS is faster, when USB 2.0 is the bottle neck. Anyway to each his own, someone asks me what works for me
  19. joemamma1954
    The mini jack that Pioneer says to use is the CD-RM10, it is a special length plug end, and has audio/video capability. If you are only hooking up audio, then no problem. They run around 30.00, and can be found on Amazon.

    The first part of my post was just answering your question. The other was general info for those members who may not understand our head units limitations. I did not mean to imply that you did not know any of this. My apologies.
  21. joemamma1954
    Jhren-It will only reverse play alphabetically, unfortunately. One thing to remember, these head units are like an Android mini-pc, with the exception of not having an extremely fast cpu, and the only ram(that I know of) is the internal sdcard. They are limited by USB 2.0 speed,(no sata) and space on the sdcard(since operating system is on sdcard). I think the navi units have 16gb internal sdcard, and the non-navi have 8gb. Relating to SSDs, it does not matter how fast they are, because the head unit will only read as fast as USB 2.0 allows and the cpu can process.

    captkirk, First of all, I could give a rats rear, who you listen to on this forum, or what you believe. Second, this thread is about the folder and file limit of the head unit. Not about searching forward, backward etc. The reason the larger drives seem glitchy, is due to the large number of files, not the size of the SSD. I DO have a 480gb SSD, and 256GB SDCARD, and neither of those are glitchy, mainly because they contain mp4, ripped DVDs, in which at files sizes around 1-2 GBs, There are not that many files and it takes no time to read(initially or thereafter). Mp3s are much smaller and t

    I can't speak for Pioneer, only from experience. When I first purchased mine, and bought the a/v adapter, hooked it up, thinking I could use app radio, and still have access to iPhone as input(using usb1), but It would say "not compatible usb device". So I went to Apple forum and found out the a/v adapter uses the lightning cable to charge only, therefore I decided to try just plugging into charger, and everything worked great. I just looked over the manual, and it said, for iPhone use usb1 with apple A/V adapter, for Android use usb2 with MHL adapter. I also think Pioneer is showing their op
  24. joemamma1954
    That is correct. (android uses usb2,( but that is irrelevant). When using an a/v adapter, whether it is iPhone or Android, the usb is only charging phone, therefore it can be connected to either usb on head unit or charger. If you do connect it to head unit, it will not be an available input, so why not just connect it to a charger( i installed a double usb charging port for that purpose) and leave the head unit usb available for other use. I have two options available at all times, the a/v adapter is there hooked up to hdmi and lightning to charging port with 6" lightning cable, and have regu

    what rockthebeef said. AppRadio controls the phone thru bluetooth, and receives the audio and video thru HDMI. Using this setup, I do not use usb1 for charging, I just plug into car charger, since it is only charging anyway, and it leaves usb1 open for other input,i.e. Thumbnail drive, solid state drive. At the moment this is the only way to receive video from phone. CarPlay, at the moment, only receives audio, txt. the only video of any kind you get is maps. Apple does not allow video, because the dangers affiliated with drawing attention from the driver while driving. Phone is connected b
