I found this on ebay, has anyone tried it? It says it works on the W4400.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brake-Bypass-Pioneer-AVH-W4400NEX-for-video-dvd-and-settings-BLUETOOTH-/253625514233

A while ago I was looking at an image for the 6000 and started looking at the .apks and I was wondering if anyone had isolated the app that launches CarPlay before I start digging through it again.

My end goal is to install the app on a tablet if possible.

Thanks in advance

I have access to a 4200, I'll try to get an image off of it in the next day or two.

Can someone who has successfully modified their NEX comment on the functionality, looks and overall thoughts on the new maps? How well does it work? Glad you did it? I have the nex 5000 and am considering trying this.

I have a 6000 and to me the maps seem faster. You can also get 3D buildings which is a 8000 series feature.

hi i have nex8100 can i add any maps

yes

As the title says I am trying to update my maps but I'm a little nervous that I am going to mess it all up. I have downloaded everything I think I need from http://www.gpspower.net/igo-maps/340262-here-2015-q3-canada-usa.html. I am setting up the folders to run MapCreator.pl and that is where I need validation that everything is right.

Would someone mind just taking a look and letting me know if that looks right please.

Also, what is the suggested way to backup my current map data so I can restore if needed?

Thanks a million!

I had a similar problem and had to go with the sd card instead. You using apple carplay?

I made a rookie mistake; the thumb drive had 2 partitions. I reformatted and it installed fine.

Tried to update tonight but the head unit kept complaining that the update file wasn't found. I put the AVIC5000NEX folder in the root of the USB drive and it was a no go. Has anyone had success with a 6000?

Is there a mirror for downloads yet? Downloading from pioneer is taking way too long.

I got caught with work yesterday so it won't be till tonight or tomorrow I can test any changes.

No, I offered to replace one of the system applications from list to own, for example, to simple file explorer application, so we can be able to copy files to/from device to/from sd/usb flash.

Just as an example: can we replace IGO_UC.apk with simple file explorer application? Is it will be started when we pressing navi button?

It's almost that simple. The menu calls the appname (or activity) for the assigned application, so we should just have toreplace the package name or activity in the .xml file.

btw.. If I post something you think I shouldn't let me know and I will remove it.

I think the next phase is getting someone involved that is familiar with Android ROMs, since that is essentially what this is. Its basically a ROM we need to decompile and modify to suit our needs and sadly that ain't me.

I'm no ROM expert but I've been looking at the .apks decrypted with apktool and think repackaging an app should work. I'm going to try on my 6000 tomorrow afternoon.

@bass_rock, what do you think the next step is in the process? 

Also, for anyone who needs it, the gist link is missing bassrock from it (at least it was for me). https://gist.github.com/bassrock/8053d22493785b92958f
