    AVICSync app

    Has anyone figured out how to update the maps to at least match what's on your Head Unit?
  2. The 4200 hasn't been patched yet, only the x000 with FW 1.07, 1.08 and 1.11 and the x100 with FW 1.05
  3. This issue occurs if you have the AVICSYNC (connected features) turned on in Navigation Mode and don't have something that the USB Accessory (the head unit) can recognize as a launchable app. You can resolve it by redownloading AVICSYNC or whichever app launched from start when connected to your head unit. Also, if you would rather use Android Auto or CarPlay, what you will need to do is go into Navigation Mode ("MAP" button) and in that bottom bar where it shows the audio source playing, move to the car icon (which should have a green/glowing set of arrows, not unlike the AVICSYNC logo) a
  4. I just want to confirm that this method worked for me. I am using an 8100NEX and I successfully managed to update my maps, 3D buildings, and POI to the latest HERE versions (2015 Q3) A later reply (I believe it is #378) also broke down which replies in the thread are most needed. Here is a recap based on my experience: 1. Download and extract the necessary flash/update script for your AVIC head unit (reply #138), and copy all necessary files to a USB flash drive (recommended 16GB or more, so that you can backup everything). Boot your head unit with the updated USB flash drive in U
  5. Ah, how I miss those New York shields...
  6. Regarding CarPlay: All you should need is a Lightning Cable and a compatible iPhone. You have to go into Smartphone Settings (touch the "Gear" icon from the main menu to find it). Select USB1 and CarPlay as your connection type. Then simply connect your iPhone to USB1 (it has to be USB1) and enjoy CarPlay. As for AppRadio, as others have mentioned, you will need to have the Lightning/AV cable and use HDMI. CarPlay is a much superior option if you are an iPhone user.
  7. I updated it, and I've seen some strange behavior with regards to Android Auto. Android Auto itself runs as expected (though I'm not too fond of some of the app updates). However if I play music through Android Auto (for example, through Google Play Music), and then go back to the main menu to select another USB source (for example, an iPod), USB1 will remain at "Ready" until I unplug the phone from USB2, and then it will start playing. I can then get back into Android Auto by replugging the phone into USB2. I don't think that's good. I wonder if I can go back to 1.03.
  8. Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V, Verizon Wireless).
  9. Confirmed that sideloading HTC Car + Automate is a way to get an Android Auto-like interface to your car on a 4000/8000NEX. It works on my 8100NEX. However, this doesn't output any audio. Is there a specific version of HTC Car I should be using? Note: WAZE also works through HTC Car if you use it there.
  10. Though this thread is about the 4100, the issue is being discussed here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81529-avh-4100nex-wipod-via-usb-staticaudio-issues/ I have the issue, occasionally.
  11. This makes no sense. I occasionally have the same issue on my 8100NEX. Sometimes unplugging and restarting the iPod helps. I refuse to believe this to be an issue with the 30pin adapter for iPod; tons of OEM and aftermarket iPod-ready head units that input via USB do not have these issues, some of which actually made by Pioneer.
  12. The Note 4 is compatible with APPRADIO. If you are considering the 2015 NEX models 4100, 7100, and 8100, you will also have access to Android Auto. All you need for APPRADIO is MHL support. Which means the Galaxy S6 may not be a good choice. I think the G4 is also compatible.
  13. The Verizon S5 issue has been corrected recently. I have been using AA since around May 31 with no issues.
  14. They recommended sending it in for service. But with a 3 week turnaround time, plus no guarantee that warranty would be honored, I'm half wondering if I should just seek a replacement from Amazon.
  15. Thanks for this. I did pull the 8100NEX and run the hair dryer in the affected areas. I got the "Eject" button back, but the other buttons are doing as described above. As the steering wheel controls work and there is a way to get to "HOME", not to mention the touch screen is still completely functional I will likely see what Pioneer says about a factory repair before going forward.
  16. A trace amount per the instructions. There were several hours between the time I applied the screen and the next time I powered things up. I might have to try taking things apart. I'm also going to call Pioneer when they're next open for any advice on this. It was weird that there were absolutely no adverse effects the first time I tried this.
  17. Yes, though this was done with a small amount and away from the dash so as not to invite excess moisture. When I did this the first time, there were no issues. Everything still works, except for the buttons on front. Thankfully I also have working steering wheel controls for the track and volume. If any moisture were invited to the install, does this ever revert to normal?
  18. Ever since I installed a screen protector/anti-glare sheet for the 8100NEX (I botched it the first time, removed it, and did it again properly), the front buttons on the 8100NEX have not worked properly. When I first powered my car on, it was as if it had a hard reset (I had to reset language and smartphone options). But now, the front buttons do the following: VOL - works as intended. VOL + acts as the MAP button does MAP acts as the HOME button does HOME acts as if the EJECT button does TRACK - acts as if the EJECT button does TRACK + does nothing EJECT does nothing. I have reset
  19. If you have a 7100NEX and a Note 4 with Lollipop OS, I would not bother with any other smartphone integration besides Android Auto (unless you absolutely need to use Waze). To set this up, take the following steps before connecting anything in your car: Go to the Google Play Store and download the Android Auto app. You may also want to download/upgrade the Google app, Google Maps, and Google Play Music as well. Android Auto uses these for their interface. On your phone, make sure you have the latest security policy update, by going to Settings > Security > Security Policy
  20. MirrorLink should possibly work, if there is a compatible app. Not sure if the old DriveLink app works, as it was developed for the Galaxy SIII generation of phones.
  21. You have to touch the white spheres as they appear on the touch screen of the head unit. One of the most counter intuitive things ever. Link: https://youtu.be/JuaQkR0NPJs
  22. I believe the Ground + "SET ON" bypass does allow nav entry while in motion. Also, for the S5 on a 2014 NEX model, I suggest using the Samsung HDTV adapter, an HDMI cable, and AppRadio. MirrorLink technically works, but there is as of yet, no DriveLink-type software to bring it all together.
  23. I bought one of these and I'm very pleased with this product just far... thanks for this!
  24. I don't think a factory reset of the phone is necessary. I don't know what the heck happened with my set up, but all of a sudden the "parking" situation resolved itself and I was able to start the set up. Someone kicked around the idea on another forum that Android Auto doesn't even tap in to the head unit to figure out whether the car is parked. Which makes me wonder what is the trigger to keep it from locking you out of the app and connecting the phone. They need to scrap that ASAP.... all it does is cause problems. Do Apple users have to deal with this with CarPlay?!
