I feel this may be software, as I have a 4000NEX and never noticed the graininess, but once I've loaded the 4100 firmware, its terribly grainy.

i don't have the 4100 firmware installed just recently updated to 1.11 firmware for the 4000 thinking it may fix the problem but it didn't.  Think this may be an issue with video out going bad on the unit  have replaced camera and wires  and all of my video out ports show same issue with camera however camera will show clear picture before uni boots and starts playing sound with leads me to believe there some kind of short in the unit itself 

I have the same issue. It turns out to be the EMIcreated by the internal cooling fan on Tue unit. When the unit is cold and you start it the fan doesn't kick on right away. As soon as the internal fan kicks on you get video interfere nce. I have tried numerous cables and the result is the same. Also tried better system grounds. Still the same. I think it is a flaw internal the the board EMI design.

I also have same problem and have been racking my brain for weeks trying to figure it out, thgt camera was bad had a brand new camera that i had as a backup and that would come on clear as day as soon as music/amp would kick in picture would be  so grainy can't see anything i thgt i might have issues with led lights and restores so i bought new LEDS with cans error built in SMH

maybe will get some kind of pioneer wifi dongle that can be hooked up  to USB2 that would enable this feature. 

It's honestly broken. When the app first launches if the moon and the sun are in perfect alignment, the car display is set to night mode, and you're not in satellite view on your phone, your app can go to night mode. However, if anything is off it will jump back to day mode and there is no switching back. 

 I fixed my problem with nightmode8 allows me to enable nightmare on maps  so i'll use that until apple fixes the issue then remove it b/c using maps at night in my car on my nex-4000 is distracting.

Updated the theme?  Are you jailbroken? 

yes  I'm jailbroken  on iPhone 6Plus

Is that just mirror or mirror with touchscreen control?

its both its mirror and touchscreen functionality  pretty sure android phones need to be rooted for those apps and still need correct Hdmi cable for your nexus also 

What do I need to mirror my android phone (Nexus 5)?

ARliberator or ARunchained can do it 

So with the Mirabox you connect your phone to it via bluetooth, and then you can control your phone by using the touchscreen on the NEX?  i assume you just set the NEX unit to HDMI?  Would audio go through the NEX as well?  

No Mirabox creates its own wifi gateway/hotspot and uses airplay to mirror the iPhone screen doesn't use bluetooth at all it hooked up to the hdmi in port on the next unit so image on next unit is HD  there is an older Mirabox that uses rca cables and picture comes from RCA instead of an hdmi output. Yes you would set NEX to Hdmi but Mirabox will only mirror video/audio via airplay you need the other device I posted link to for touch functionality that also mirrors as well (MimicsX2) I'm gonna hold off on MimicsX2 and just get Mirabox b/c i think in a few months when Carplay becomes more accessible in factory cars someone will eventually start making tweaks for Carplay and figure out a away to mirror through that noticed a few days ago when i changed my theme on my jailbroken 6Plus that it also changed Carplay icons as well so i take that as a good sign something can be done with it.  

Im planing on getting a Mirabox with hdmi to mirror my iPhone 6Plus.

Saw a video on youtube where a guy had took a kivic one (same as Mirabox) and MimicsX2 device and was able to get full mirroring with touch functionality not sure if i'll spend money for mimics though. (179.99)

Im in Minnesota and i press my whole hand on as much of the screen as possible to warm it up.  If you do that for like 30 seconds the screen will operate fine.  Really stupid that Pioneer didnt find this before they made these.  I have a nex4000 and am wondering why i keep buying Pioneer.  The other frustration is that even the quickest tap of the "home" button on the screen will activate siri nearly every time.  The list of frustrations goes on, but ill digress here....

I first had this issue happen to me last night even after it was warm in the car and head unit had warmed up still was un responsive thought I was gonna have to send it in to be repaired got frustrated because I realized if touch screen was unresponsive I'd have no way to detach face plate (NEX-4000) ended up figuring out that if you press and hold eject button for 3 seconds or so you will hear a beep and face plate will fold down without having to use touchscreen buttons, that allowed me to detach face and reattach and everything was fine so i would suggest that before you chalk it up as being unresponsive screen.

Hmmm, I'm really disappointed in Pioneer forcing customers to purchase a new head unit just for Android Auto support.  Is there anything else different between the units?

 

It's been proven that the NEX series runs on Android so hopefully we can just hack the firmware and still use the "old" model.  Either that, or I'll absolutely be selling this head unit for the new Parrot Android system that's coming out.

 

I still can't believe that Pioneer would screw customers that paid over $1400 for a car stereo though by not providing them an update.

 

 

 

Very true I've bought a new head unit almost every year for last 4 years Pioneer drops the ball when it comes to new iPhone compatibility they are getting a little better but not by much every year they come out with new head units that are only compatible with certain iPhones  when i upgraded to the 5  i lost app radio mode b/c it was only compatible with 4  & 4's  bought next years model that was recently stolen before xmas that was compatible with 5 and 6 but didn't have car play and the fact that i needed to have 3 extra cable to run app mode was a bit over the top now we have new NEX models that have both Carplay and Android Auto and will operate AppRadio mode with just the lightning cable as much as these head units cost we should be getting updates that should do the same for 2014 NEX units.  Some of us consumers are BRAND LOYAL and id say since they have come out with these units that have AppMode we have been getting the shaft if your an iPhone user feels like every year they come out with new iPhone you almost need to replace your heading along with phone to be fully compatible and it not RIGHT AT ALL!

Carplay Maps doesn't dim for me used it to night and it was very bright and as far as NEX dimming there is an illumination wire (Orange)  but unless its wired to harness adapters illumination wires you can't  dim from your cars dimmer.  I did notice the other day that when I updated the theme on my iPhone 6Plus that icons are also updated in Carplay on the NEX. 

Vblue42 your definitely right about that i guess i'll hold off and wait maybe someone will develop Carplay Extensions  and figure out a way to mirror iPhone thru that,  but in the mean time i think I am going to purchase a mirabox with hdmi output  i won't have touch functionality but will be  able to mirror  my iPhone on my Nex-4000 and have it done through hdmi input on Pioneer unit. However Im still willing to donate to get something for IOS 8.

Ok so any suggestions on what maybe we could do next or should i just give up ? Carplay isn't enough for me i need something not so restricted, would have made more since for Pioneer to atleast make Appradio app to run within Carplay with one cable and have all the apps compatible. You just can't win with Pioneer every year its something.

Wondering if we should take a tally of all the people willing to make a donation of $30 or more.  I need to see an update for iOS 8. maybe we could pick a date to all send at the same time?  Already tried tweeting him but haven't gotten a response yet. If anyone else knows people that are willing to donate lets all come together and try to make something happen I'm sure if he see's a few hundred dollars coming into his Paypal on one day it will not go unnoticed, it should better are chances to get the ball rolling on some type of update. Have went backed and messaged the members that posted they were willing to make a donation so hopefully i get some responses and the site doesn't think I'm just spamming people. 

yes I believe mike decaro has posted it on github  for anyone to work on that may be true that no one can charge for it but  i don't see a issue with paying someone to finish where he left off to my understanding this hasn't worked since iOS 6 or 7 

I decided to send a msg to the original member who posted they would be willing to work on getting something running for 2000.00 and  in the past if i where in a position where i could use the previous version of AppEx  i would have donated but due to way Pioneer does things i was always with a headunit that was compatible with previous gen Iphone  and none of those units were Appradio's they all had Appradio mode feature  however i now have a Nex-4000 and Iphone 6plus  so I'm very much interested in seeing this through hopefully member is legit  we can get a Kickstarter page going.

Willing to donate 30-50  to see a working AppEx for my NEX-4000 for IOS8 & Iphone 6Plus.
