    Well I'll tell you my 7000 unit ended up going back not once, but twice for this issue.

    I'd been having the same issue lately, usb stick would show a circle with the slash through it (7000NEX, not 4100NEX) via USB stick but Ok via SD card. Not sure if USB should be a viable transport vehicle. EDIT: I take that back. I troubleshot it down to the CAMERA taking the pics. I have an older Canon elph (7MP to tell you how old) that any pic I take on it lets me use as a splash screen on my radio. But if I try to use a pic taken with my iphone 6S+, the picture just has the circle with the slash through it when I try to use it as a splash page, like its in the wrong format

    Has anyone confirmed the bypass is still working? I have my parking brake grounded / bypass working on 1.08 (I believe) currently. I have a 7000 unit.

    Interesting, never saw that toolset before.

    Would you mind confirming your GPS was reset back to factory? Also, did you have the bypass enabled before / or if not, does it still work now? I'd like to give it a try this afternoon.
  6. blacknoi
    So it looks like this is to fix issues with iOS 8.4's new music app? anything else? And I'm hoping the bypass will continue to work as old firmware updates have. Is there a way to backup my GPS settings prior to the upgrade? I hate that it whacks your customizations and saved locations

    I have a 7000 and never saw that. Tell us more. What was it doing right before it stopped working? Did you do anything out of the ordinary? Has the radio been exhibiting any non-standard behavior prior to this complete failure? Temperature changes in your area recently where the radio operates? Firmware updates attempted? You get the idea.

    Thats not what I mean. I can physically type in say "310" on my head unit and the radio tunes to that channel. But if an artist I have an alert on, is playing and I get the pop up message with the "Jump" button... if the song is playing on any of the xtra channels, the head unit goes all weirdo on me and goes to one of the lower channels, NOT playing the artist. The pop up with the jump button shows the right xtra channel that the artis is on, but I just cant push jump (if I want to get to that channel). I have to cancel the alert, then manually type in the channel number. Again, if ht

    Glad this thread is here. I have plenty of 4:3 pictures obviously. I just want to load one of them as a splash picture upon bootup, but up until now, the 4:3 picture would be ever so slightly stretched out left to right. So based on what I've read above, I need to crop the picture to be a 1.61:1 aspect ratio. Then my pics shouldn't looked stretched out sideways, correct?

    Thanks Philtor. I was hoping for a confirmation such as this... essentially its probably not the XM unit, but something about how the pioneer head unit is interpreting the info coming from the XM unit. And you have the even newer model SVX300 (when I have the issue on SVX200). So the thing in common is the Pioneed HU.

    So you are saying the problem is with my XM unit? The point of my post is I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the problem, or where the issue could be. I will say the issue has persisted with the pre-carplay firmware as well as the current 1.08 firmware. And yes I'm aware of the lifetime transfer (I had transferred my sub off an old lifetimed sirius radio to get it onto this xm tuner), so I have 2 out of the 3 transfers left on this particular sub. Has anyone else had the tune select / artist alert feature work properly when one of your artists is playing a song on channels above
  12. blacknoi
    So I have a 7000 NEX unit and have the SXV200V1 add on tuner for SiriusXM. The tuner works great but from day 1 with it, whenever tune select would alert me to an artist on a channel, when I hit JUMP, if the artist is on the Siriuxm "xtra" channels, I'm never actually taken to the right channel. For example, say if I have an artist alert for tom petty and the heartbreakers set up. If a song of his shows up on channel 26, when I press jump, it brings me to channel 26. But if he's on channel 312 (the Tom Petty buried treasure channel), EVERY time I press jump, it'll bring me to chan

    So I received my radio back from support about 5-6 weeks ago. The issue occured twice so far but over the past 3 weeks has virtually disappeared. Not sure if its because I'm using my remote starter every morning so the radio is already 'warmed up' by the time I get to the car (we've been in the teens most mornings in January). But there have definitely been times where its been around 30 degrees (where I speculated the issue occured with bluetooth not staying connected) and I've been totally fine. All in all, I'll consider the issue closed. Side note, I got the radio back a

    I've had issues where I'll have missing logos sometimes or the WRONG logo (like when I'm listening to the rock hall of fame, it shows studio 54 radio, as the logo).

    Its connected in settings as iphone "connect via bluetooth". I called Pioneer tech support erlier today and explained the situation. They said to send it in, as they'd never heard of the issue before. They said they'll look at the bluetooth chipset as a starting point. Its still under warranty so I'm going to unearth it from my car tonight and send it back tomorrow. 2-3 weeks turn around to be with my stock radio. I had even updated to ios 8.1.1, no change. Yesterday was 40 degrees when I left, no issues. Today was 31 and it kept disconnecting for the first 10 minutes. Then on

    I'll give that a try. For a quick update, this morning it was 26 degrees. I had yesterday deleted EVERY bluetooth connection on my phone and repaired it last night. This morning it connected OK but it only connected via the phone bluetooth protocol. Stereo bluetooth did NOT connect (aka i still heard my music through the phone but if i got a phone call, that would route through the radio). I went into Settings > bluetooth (on the iphone), found the NEX entry, tapped on it and that connected the stereo bluetooth protocol and i was up and running. That was the first time the radi

    I've had a AVIC-7000NEX since August and up until about 2 weeks ago, it was working well. Radio is at 1.08 firmware / latest out as of this writing. Rewind to about 2 weeks ago and 2 things happened, I upgraded my iPhone 5S, from 7.1.2 to 8.1. We also have had extremely cold for stretches of time for the first time since I got the radio (in the 20's, teens etc some overnights). Symptoms started after I upgraded to iOS 8.1 in that: Start the car. Bluetooth tries to connect. It will connect for a moment (I see my address book), then it disconnects. 1 try. I then go to the s

    Quoting myself, I took the plunge and have been running 1.08 and the bypass is still working. My history is: bought the 7000 unit in August, shipped with 1.01. Upgraded to 1.06 (bypass still worked, I did NOT have to redo the steps). Upgraded to 1.08 (bypass still worked, I did not have to redo the steps). And regarding Bobec's comment above, I've *never* received a warning about my parking brake wire not being hooked up properly. I have the parking brake wire twisted with the radio ground wire and both of those connected to the harness adapter ground wire (using butt connectors, n
  19. blacknoi
    Now that 1.08 is out, the same question comes up again: Is the bypass still working in 1.08?

    Thanks everyone. Now I can upgrade with piece of mind. 10/21 update: Upgraded a few days ago and bypass still working.
  22. blacknoi
    I read in the Carplay thread that the bypass still worked with the new carplay-enabled firmware. Can anyone else confirm in addition to that one poster? and assuming so, after you do the firmware upgrade, do you need to go through the process again (AV off, hold the screen etc)?
  23. blacknoi
    Is anyone still on 7.1.2 and trying to use Carplay? I don't plan on upgrading to 8.x for a bit and want to know if carplay works.
  24. blacknoi
    So the unit has performed flawlessly over the past week +, so I'll chock it up to a one-off event. And if it comes back, well then I have the warranty. Enjoying the unit over all (playing around with app radio, HDMI input etc) and just await airplay. Thanks for all the replies earlier.

    Thanks for posting this. I was looking for AVICSYNC in the Apple app store and found nothing. Now I know I have to wait. Funny as the Manual references AVICSYNC all over the place.
