Not sure if you’ve found your answer yet, but this happened to me when I went from an iPhone 6 to a Xs on an 8000. Have you tried deleting the phone profiles off the 8500 and then re-connect? This is what worked for me.

Already solved the issue. It was indeed the camera not getting voltage... The weird part is I checked vehicle's factory wire and the maestro's wire using my power probe and both getting 6.5v. Then I checked the pin using my multimeter and was getting under 1v. So there was something wrong with the connection at the pins itself, but for some reason the wires on either side was still getting 6.5v. So I tapped into the car's camera power wire directly with the maestro's camera power wire (bypassing just that one pin) and it that solved the issue.

I just went ahead and installed it. The Pioneer’s parking wire to Maestro’s parking wire(already connected it before I thought about the bypass). The bypass still works without having to ground either of the parking brake wires.

Will this method work for 8500 with a maestro rr? If it does, do I need to ground both parking brake wires of the unit and maestro’s harnesses?

Picked up an AVIC-W8500 with a Maestro RR for my 2019 4Runner Non-JBL with Navi. After some first initial headaches that have been solved, I’m now running into the issue with my factory backup cam. I have no video feed from the cam at all. I’ll throw the SUV in reverse, the screen will switch, but no feed. I checked with my power probe and it shows that the line is getting 6.5v. A maestro tech had told me that my issue might be the RCA from the maestro itself and should replace it. But before I cut this cable and replace it with a new, is there anything else I can look at that may

google chromecast needs Internet to work. You can setup your smartphone's network settings to have chromecast connect to your phone and still have LTE capabilities, granted you are still connected to a internet source of some sort, but as soon as you leave that internet source, your chromecast will fail. Sorry not sure if that was very clear... But to save you a headache, I suggest not to try. Lol. Hopefully one day Google will push out a firmware so that the chromecast won't need Internet to work or if someone can tweak the firmware to work that way. For now, only hardwiring is the only way I

I didn't really care as much for the loss of using video out from my iPhone 5 and now iPhone 6 with these lightning cables since I had USB ports for my AVIC-Z130bt, AVH-8400 and 8000-NEX. So I never really tried to look for a solution. Just a few days ago, I started looking things up on how to improve my system in my vehicles and found something interesting. I found a small box called Kivic One. It pretty much acts like apple's airport but with an HDMI and rca connection. You can use this to AirPlay video to the receiver via the device without losing your phone's Internet capabilities. Pa

It's horrible. Makes me regret buying the 8000 to replace my z130. Currently on the drive home using the navi to gauge my arrival. The tells me I have one hour left with 15 miles left. With the usual Friday traffic I know and the Google maps I'm running in the background know I only have about 20 mins left. Pioneer needs to partner with someone else.

I want to say yes... But it's been a couple of months since I installed my 8000nex. MMy suggestion is to wait it out for now. Many of us have complaints and issued with the Nex series. IMHO, the Z series are still better.

Agreed. Guidance is terrible. I decided to give the navi one more chance after the 1.06 update. I usually turn on the back to gauge my eta to home. Like a dummy, I decided to follow it instead of my usual route. Well it took me to heavier traffic and extend my drive by 10miles and 30minutes. Like I've said in another topic here, the Z130 did a lot better along with remember the turns I usually make. Feels like I downgraded just to get some features that I thought would be upgrades. Turns out there are plenty of issues on the firmware making the NEX models sub-par compared to the AVIC Z models.

Try resetting to factory settings. If that fails, you might have to return and get a new unit it have it replaced/fixed through warranty. IMHO I don't like my 8000NEX's navigation. Even after the 1.06, it guides me to routes I would never take or routes with even heavier traffic. My Z130 was a lot better in terms of navigation and also learned the streets I normally use getting to my house. I'll be sticking to google maps on my iPhone for the time being. Good luck on your unit

Unfortunately that is correct. You have to choose one or the other then set the unit accordingly. It's been an issue with the NEX units since before carplay. I stream my music so it's normally set to play through usb. The only time it is troublesome for me is if any of my friends were ride with me and we want to listen to music from their phone, I would have to change the settings to BT AND unplug my phone.

You should be ok to connect it to the blue/white wire. I have my amp and l believe swc-1 connected to that

Yes it works. I have my iPhone 5 7.1.2 jailbroken and my iPhone 6 on 8.0.2. I posted up a picture on one of these threads too but anyways, Carplay also shows the theme if you have your iphone themed(which IMO is probably the best thing about the update.)

Issue with these NEX HU's are that you have to disconnect the iphone from the Lightning cable. It's stupid. Now with that being said 1. Make sure iphone and HU are paired with each other. 2. Settings-->System-->Input/Output Settings-->Smartphone Setup------Now ensure connection is set to "Wireless via BT"

Wow after reading this, I had to see for myself. And sure enough it did not continue where I left the movie. And I just have a 128GB thumb drive connected to USB2. What's even worse is that it won't recognize USB2 if you have your phone connected to USB1. First was not being able to use Bluetooth audio when plugged in, now this? This is inexcusable. Pioneer just went full retard. I'm seriously thinking about switching to alpine or something else after being a pioneer user for many years.

I found Spotify works best if you start it on your phone first. But still unstable through the HU. Also I found out carplay supports the theme on your iphone. I found this out after plugging in my iPhone 5 which is still jailbroken and themed.

I got an 8000NEX & iP6 on iOs 8.0.2 and well I've never really needed a navigation unit since I could just use my phone and it'll play in the background, but it's nice to see a larger map ya' know? But now that Carplay is out, does anyone else feel that you could've saved a lot more money by just buying a 4000NEX? Even though a lot of good and bad has already been covered, here is my opinion on Carplay: That GoodGood -Sleek design -Ease of use -Smooth and almost seamless integration -Ability to still play other music apps in the background -Feels like a big 7" phone attached t

I'm still betting on carplay releasing once ios 8 is publicly released... The latest when the next iphone ships.

Like DP3343 said, it'll work just fine. Not sure if its legality or what ever, but I have a hunch CarPlay will release soon after iOS8 is available or the next gen iPhones are out an about. http://www.imore.com/hands-apple-carplay-pioneer-same-great-experience-your-current-vehicle

Did the bypass a while back ago thinking everything was ok. I thought it would let me do the navi while driving, but it didn't. Went to a video to check to see if bypass works still, and it didn't. So I did the process over again and this time it said "set off". Bypassed worked again until I went to the navi. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I just had this error this morning. I tried to unplugging the replugging my iPhone and also change sources. I also tried using the wireless bt. Nothing. So I finally decided to just do a hard reset on my iPhone and that worked. Unfortunately for now, this is all we could do.

I haven't really used the radio, so I don't know about the sources. I'll try to reset my navi to see if the route guide gets fixed. I've tried to lower down the voice guidance and also adjust the EQ settings to see if that helped with the crackling, but it still happens. I may end up just having to take it all apart again to see if there are any exposed wires or something not supposed to be connected. Good thing it's a long weekend for me because I am way to tired by the time I get home to do this during the work week.

It's weird... I didn't hear any of the crackling this morning on my way to work. But it really does bug me whenever it does it when I'm using the navigation system. I'm glad my speakers aren't blown. They're still stock, but I'm too broke and lazy to open up my car again.

I've had my AVIC-8000NEX for about a week now. Beautiful new UI and less than average navigation system (routes me to roads I would never use or tells me to exit and enter the highway during moderate to heavy traffic flow). I mainly use the navi during my commute to/from work just to get an ETA since I'm on the road 120+ miles a day. I am no professional, but I have installed many headunits over the past 12 years. Anyways my may concern is, whenever I use the navigation system, I would heara crackling or popping like sound whenever the voice guidance comes on. This still happens when I hav
