  1. Does anyone know if the latest NEX models like the W8400 or W8500 have faster processors for reading data than older models like the 4000?

    I'm getting tired of how slowly my 4000NEX reads external drives and was hoping an upgrade might solve the problem.

    I really don't know what more than the 8400 you would need?   I just installed it and it's a monster.  Works perfect and the wireless CarPlay is game changing.

    How long does it take to boot up?

    Sorry for the delay. It't the DDX9905S, 720P screen resolution. It has a 13 band EQ and time alignment. It does not have built in GPS.

    Sounds like a nice unit. Would be great to have a 720p screen. 

  4. Anyone know when we might hear about new models of the NEX series for 2019? I'm wondering if they'll announce anything at CES next week.

    I've been thinking about getting a W8400NEX, but I don't want to do it if a newer model is about to be released.

  5. One thing that helped the read time considerably on my 256GB flash drive is going through and eliminating all the unnecessary tags from my music files. You'd be surprised how many can be embedded into each file, and they all have to be read if they're there. Use MP3tag (works for flac files too) and select all files, view extended tags, and delete everything except artist, album, track, etc. Doing this cut my read time at least in half.

  6. Honestly I downloaded the new 9.3 beta on my iPhone and the improvements to carplay leave me pretty happy with my old NEX-4000 radio. I would love to have a capacitive screen so I would have the better version of carplay, but it is nice that I can plug in both my phone and my girlfriend's iPhone at the same time and use my phone to navigate while her phone plays music. Pioneer keeps providing bug fixes and the radio definitely performs better than the day I got it. I don't know, I really like the JBL, but I don't know if I like it enough to go through the work of swapping radios.

    Why can't you play music and navigate with one phone? When I use Carplsy, I use both Maps and Music at the same time. Not sure why you need a second phone.

  7. I watched the CES demos of the original nex units. The 4000-8000. They were supposed to have these features from the start. Hell. The demos were nearly identical. This is not guaranteed until they launch and honestly there are better radios from Kenwood for that money that are where people's money should go if they want those features. Me? I don't give a damn about that. My car doesn't have that. I'm buying the JBL radio. 400 bucks for capacitive is nice for me.

    Anybody know if the JBL has time alignment and decent EQ and all that?
