I have an 8000NEX with an iphone5 connected via a lightning to USB1 cable. I have a Porsche with the factory Bose amplifier and speakers. I used a MOST adapter from the HU to the Bose amp. All speakers, front,side and rear work. I am still learning to use the features of both the 8000 and Carplay but everything I have tried works and there is no popping or other noise issues nor any resume problems. I use the Carplay for music now instead of the Pioneer ipod/USB1 function but both work fine. The hands free phone via CarPlay works fine also. Mine was installed in May and I have used it without Carplay since then but updated the firmware a few days ago to get CarPlay and have had no issues since. I have found AppRadio to be a poor product and have abandoned it. Otherwise good products.
Is it worth installing CarPlay
in NEX Series
