    Hey. But the HDMI mirroring was not affected in any way by the new firmware update then?
  2. luiss11
    Hey guys, this was awesome news when I heard it. So...updating the firmware does not diminish functionality on our NEX units? Meaning true HDMI mirroring (Netflix,youtube) through the HDMI/Lightning adapter and software bypass still working? Because for me CarPlay does not top this two functions of my unit. Thanks!!!

    Yes. I did but let me get to my car later after work and I'll try to detail it because I don't remember the step by steps. If I remember correctly it's just a matter of saving your location with a TAB. But let me get back to you.

    i would like to add that you don't need to have your iphone connected with the AV adapter for PANDORA to work. You just need to go to smartphone setup and switch from iphone via Digital AV adapter to Wireless bluetooth connection. I don't plan on having my phone connected all the time so that's why I do the switch. I have not tried Pandora when connected with the Digital AV adapter.

    Thanks! yeah that one is good too.

    Hello. No problem. You don't need anything else. I have a 7000NEX and I connected the standard HDMI cable to the headunit. Then the USB extension cable included with the radio connect it to the USB 1 port and then on the other end remember the LIGHTNING HDMI av adapter. After this you are all set. No need to buy any adapters from Pioneer.

    Here you go man. i found this one and re-sized it for the 7000NEX 800x480 resolution. Test it out on your wife's HU. Im not sure how good it will look. Let me know.

    For the mirroring? Just the Apple Lightning AV HDMI adapter and the standard HDMI cable of your choice. For this? a $1.99 HDMI eBay cable will suffice, trust me. No need for Pioneer's expensive "exclusive" cables for mirroring.
  10. luiss11
    Yes. I confirmed this as well. Already posted the VGA adapter on eBay. Had to get rid of the 5000NEX.

    Update: I tried it with the RGB and no-go. Gonna try AppRadio mode with the HDMI and USB 1 port.
  12. luiss11
    Thanks for the reply. From what I've read it automatically works when you plug in the phone via lightning cable. No need for configuration. Since Appradio works through HDMI and USB port 1 that should still be there ( Not that AppRaio is any good ). By the way. Right now I have the RGB cable connected and the USB to PORT 1. Why? Because I had purchased it before for AppRadio mode for the 5000NEX. If I connect the USB extension cord to USB PORT 1 and use HDMI will I be able to use AppRadio mode like that? So then I would be able to just sell the RGB cable with the VGA adapter. $150.00 wast

    I am just curious. I had an AVIC 5000NEX which I could never get mirroring to work even with $150.00 in cables (VGA+Lightning adapter). Almost sure that it was software related. Now I have the 7000NEX with HDMI and mirroring works perfect. I am a little bit afraid that when Pioneer rolls out the Car Play firmware update they might screw the mirroring up because I spoke to a Pioneer representative and they indicated that they don't officially support mirroring, just their "wonderful and intuitive" AppRadio mode.

    Hey thanks for the reply. What did you end up doing? I ended up going to Best Buy and returning my unit. Got myself a 7000NEX with an HDMI input and mirroring works perfect. Why do you think this happens? How was it working before for you on the 5000NEX and now it is not? Just curious.
  15. luiss11
    Yeah man. I really like it. The Avic 5000NEX was a pain and I could never get mirroring to work. I know that you spend more time than me on the forums so when you have a chance pay it forward to other fellow users as will I when I have a chance. Thanks for your help anyway man, appreciate it.
  16. luiss11
    Yes. That would be me. Do not get the avic 5000nex. I had numerous problems trying to get mirroring to work. It never did... Spent $150 it adapters... I was lucky enough that the manager at best buy refunded the money and was able to get a 7000nex from somewhere else. The 8000nex is the flagship with its capacitive touchscreen, but for me the 7000nex doed it. I'm extremely crazy happy with my mirroring hdmi capable 7 inch 7000nex. Pick your poison... Starting from the Avic 6000 nex and up... You get HDMI and mirroring is 100% guaranteed by us here at the forums

    Thanks for the reply. You know, I ended up ordering the 7000NEX that includes de 7 inche screen and HDMI input. No more 5000NEX VGA problems.
  18. luiss11
    Hey. I ordered the 7000NEX, got a good deal on it. So no more VGA adapter problems. Thanks for everything.
  19. luiss11
    I ended up ordering an AVIC 7000NEX. I am done with the 5000NEX. Trying to sell it now. Thanks anyway guys. If you have any further suggestions I don't mind.
  20. luiss11
    Yeah. Well Thanks everybody. Probably will find a way to sell it and get an 8000NEX. Did not do it at first because my local Best Buy does not carry anything over a 5000NEX and I am not radio-tech savy regarding installation.

    Thanks for the reply. The reason I mentioned the iPhone video app is because maybe these problems are related. I did what you mentioned. When I opened the NETFLIX and then Youtube video app All I see on the HU screen is the message " Please open the AppRadio app or compatible app and make sure your phone is unlocked ". If I open AppRadio and then open Netflix I can keep hearing the sound on my unit but no video and the messages appears. If I switch to the AppRadio app I see the video for a split second being reflected on my HU and then forces me into AppRadio.
  22. luiss11
    I will do this again. What I did last night was download a purchased movie from itunes because I had nothing on my iPhone video app. And I apologize more having multiple threads on the same topic. I was just going desperate. I will let you know. Thanks.

    Yeah. I also noticed the ASL started working after I had the speed-pulse wire connected. Had it on my (rip) Lexus and I really missed it. Not all cars have this capability in the on board CPU, especially those before 2003 I think. In that case you would need to get a separate module for the speed-pulse which in my opinion it's not worth it at that point. The Illumination wire? very important.
  24. luiss11
    Thanks for the replies. I guess I will head over to Best Buy to see if they can get this working. It should not be this difficult.
  25. luiss11
    Hello, Well I had mine disconnected because BestBuy did not feel it was necessary. It is necessary because it helps give accuracy to your position on your Navigation and it is more precise when reading the speedometer from your car's computer. It also helps maintain your position on the Navigation map when you are within tunnels and such. So if you get the chance, definitely connect it. Also don't forget the Illumination wire. This one dims your head unit's brightness when your turn on your headlights, if not you are going ot have to dim it manually every time you use the car at night. It is v
