  1. Yes. Bypass is still working with the 1.11 firmware update ... at least on my AVIC 8000NEX. That isn't to say that I'm completely through going through everything else. As far as I can tell so far: (1) Most things, including boot up, seem faster; (2) I am getting message to activate AVICSYNC (i.e., "Connect a smartphone to take advantage of ...", whereas my iPhone is already connected), which I have not used to date; (3) I've had one crash, in which nothing at all came onscreen - Turning off the ignition and turning it back on, everything seemed to work. It'll be a few days (perhaps weeks
  2. Updated to firmware 1.11 this morning on my NEX8000, including updating the Bluetooth firmware to HW01-SW03.41.11. Everything went without a hitch. I did have the parking brake engaged throughout the update, as when I installed the 8000, I installed it exactly as prescribed in the instructions. Additionally, the instructions said to switch the Audio source to "Off". I haven't had much time to check things out since the updates, but the 8000 does seem a bit more responsive. Also, I notice a little blue car icon with curved arrows in the lower right corner, which I had not noticed before (p
  3. I'm not going to jump to conclusions from the 9 to 5 Mac article. It could be that we'll just need a firmware update from Pioneer. However, given that I've not seen even any inkling of a firmware update since I bought the unit last October (for which I installed 1.08 as soon as I installed the unit), and nobody seems to have come forth with a map update (even though it was implied that we would get a free update someday), I'm not optimistic that the wireless Carplay will come for the 8000NEX. Heck, with the 8100NEX out, I'm not feeling very confident that there will ever be another firmware
  4. I have the AVIC 8000NEX, and I do have the US version (noting also that I have updated with the 1.08 firmware). One thing to note on my install, which did work without any messages (noting also that I have updated with the 1.08 firmware): On the 2002 Toyota Tundra, the signal for the parking brake is hot (12V) when the parking brake is not engaged (this is consistent with the installation manual). When the parking brake engages, the signal grounds, and then also turns on the dash "brake engaged" light. This is quite different than simply taking the signal wire to ground. Perhaps this is
  5. As I stated in an earlier post, I soldered the green wire to the parking brake signal (the wire going to the parking brake switch, which grounds when the parking brake is engaged, turning on the parking brake engaged lamp). I then engaged the parking brake, and performed the bypass procedure. This is with an AVIC 8000NEX installed in a 2002 Tundra. All is working well, and I have yet to have ANY sort of a message saying that something was improperly wired. Everything is working perfectly. I'm not sure if wiring it per instructions, engaging the parking brake, and THEN doing the bypass - i
  6. As an update, today I installed the Pioneer CD-SR100 and the CD-PAC WRI-P for my AVIC 8000NEX, and all still seems to be working fine. I had already installed the 1.08 firmware, along with the "bypass" mentioned in earlier posts (Note: The bypass still works after the update, with no problem at all - no reinstall of the patch, no rework). Aside from the usual issues of routing the wiring, all of this went flawlessly. Some, but not all, of the settings that I had set earlier on the AVIC 8000NEX remained as they were, and I did not have to reset a bunch of stuff in the menus (bluetooth for th

    NEX Nav Problems

    My guess would be a faulty GPS antenna. I'd think that it would present a message in that case, though. A couple of things to try before you go that route: (1) Disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect - that resets most of the settings; (2) If that doesn't do it, you might try reinstalling the OS (1.08).
  9. I agree with TheEdge regarding auto connect to Wifi for security reasons. That said, having the Wifi turned on hasn't caused any problem for me regarding CarPlay. Properly connected, either through USB1 or through the HDMI/Apple Digital adaptor (using USB2) seems to work seamlessly for me. I hop in my truck, connect the iPhone (while still on WiFi), back out of my driveway, and it eventually switches to LTE as I drive away and lose the WiFi signal. I've not had any issues. One must note the differences in the connection, though. The 8000 seems to identify connections to USB1 (and with Bl
  10. I've been using Carplay with an iPhone 6, iOS 8.1, Pioneer firmware 1.08, and I have WiFi turned on all of the time. It has not affected Carplay in the least. Mine works perfectly.
  11. I have an AVIC 8000NEX, and have the 1.08 firmware installed. I performed the bypass process, and all works flawlessly. I do have the parking brake wire properly wired to the foot pedal parking brake. I installed it that way from the start, following the directions. Trying to bypass things by taking the wire directly to ground resulted in a message stating that the parking brake wire appeared to be improperly installed. So, I wired it correctly, which brings me to the following observation. I should note that I have also correctly wired the VSS to the unit. So, it doesn't appear that on
