  1. I just posted in another thread about this & wondered if the 8200 has the same configuration as my 8100. The installation instructions direct to connect the green wire to the powered side of the parking brake switch, which is opposite from all the advice I received when having issues similar to yours. I abandoned the green wire and did the bypass as instructed in this section of this site. HTH Edit; I had similar issues when moving before boot and nag screen "OK" when my green wire was grounded.
  2. You guys have me spooked. This thread is exactly what's keeping me from updating from 1.03, lol to 1.11. I remember receiving an email from Pioneer on September 2017 advising to keep iOS 10. I finally got my 8100NEX reinstalled recently and it's working ok. I just know if I try to update it'll fail. I think I successfully downloaded the update to an otherwise empty thumb drive & using iOS 12.1
  3. I, too, do the same on my 8100NEX as it doesn't seem to like being fiddled with while it's booting. I've experienced the same black screen/no boot that happens occasionally.
  4. (Sorry, long) Hi, I've had my 8100NEX since 2014 in a 2012 Nissan Frontier. There are no amps, cameras or a subwoofer attached. I did have the HDMI, an AUX headphone jack and the USB1 attached. The installation guide instructions directed me to attach the green wire to the *power* side of the parking brake switch (for obvious safety reasons during video playback). Meanwhile, everywhere I searched online at the time advised the green wire was to be grounded, so that's what I did. (I do wonder if one of the other attached wires was grounding to something in the dash.) It work
  5. Oh man, that's a Griswold kind of epic trip! I had three carseats in the back of my F150 SuperCrew (a six year old and three year old twins) and man, it was brutal going anywhere.
  6. Nevermind, the app store states the display has to be standard and doesn't work with zoom at this time.
  7. I downloaded the Avic Sync app to my iPhone 6 running 9.2. I have also downloaded the 1.05 to a thumb drive, but haven't loaded it to the 8100 yet. When I try to cruise around on the app on my phone, sitting in the house, the Yes/No information collecting prompt won't accept a yes or no and I can only see the bottom part of the paragraph explaining about the data collection. Anyone else have an error there?
  8. My brother (lifetime friend) gave me a set of TS-A6969's. My truck comes with 6 speakers (2 in dash and one in each of the 4 doors). I understand & believe in "less is more" when it comes to other endeavours and in this case, it's true, too. On his advice, I defeated 4 of the 6 speakers, utilizing only the 6x9 TS-A6969's in the front doors. He asked me to install it and listen to various music, then perform the auto EQ. He didn't let on of what to expect, but knew I wasn't knowledgeable enough to tune it. However, I know what I like & the difference was truly exceptional.
  9. << Is very cautiously optimistic...oh to hell with it...make that dubious.
  10. Don't want to jinx myself either, but so far so good here, too. I changed from HD radio to iphone music & then cd player. Got out to go in a convenience store, got back in & plugged the phone in without any special handling & it worked automatically. JCSoldier, if you're a drinking man, I'd be willing to send you a bottle of Goose, Crown, whatever.
  11. Here's to hoping. If the mods want to delete my redundant thread, feel free.
  12. Oh man! Hopefully this will help me too. I skimmed over this thread when posting mine simply because the title was 4000. I already have a genuine lightning cord and I just disabled the functions listed here.
  13. Thanks to both of you for the replies, it's good to know I'm not alone, but we'd all rather spend time enjoying the units. I tried some changes in the last week. 1) Firmware update to 1.03 and iOS 9.2 2) Called Pioneer and they suggested I try another iPhone. I used my son's 5S & it works initially, but haven't tried using his phone for a day to see how it does with multiple trips (work, lunch, home) 3) I turned bluetooth off and had success with multiple trips on music, texts & handsfree calls. Is it normal to expect bluetooth to be off if plugged in instead? 4)
  14. Hello all, newb here. I've been lurking for a bit and I'm not very tech savvy with A/V systems. I did an extensive amount of searching here, the owners manual & Google/YouTube for help and still not confident on how to proceed. I've seen there's updates for the 8000, but only map updates specifically for the 8100. I've read about a 1.03 and 1.08 and see a 1.10 on Pioneer's firmware support page. When I start the truck, I wait for the nag screen, "OK", then wait for the menu screen and map to load before moving. I haven't connected my VSS wire to the instrument cluster, but
  15. Hello all, Apologies to the forum for busting in here with my first post asking a favor without the ability to offer help to the community. I have searched FSM's on NICO and ClubFrontier, but I'm still unclear about this confounding VSS wire. So, there's a light blue wire in the OE stereo harness. Some say I can wire to that, while others say unless I had the speed sensitive volume control (like on the Rockford Fosgate system) that's the wrong wire. . Others state I have to look for a light blue wire on the instrument cluster plug. Also, am I splicing into it (piggy backing wi
