Sorry, following up Again. Made a jumper from the black/red wire to the red wire from the radio and capped the end going Into the RR per Maestro support. This will isolate the issue if it’s actually maestro related or radio related. Pretty sure the power goes directly to the radio now and not though the maestro. We’ll see if this fixes it. 

Still no reboots? I’ve had a few with the maestro and new WT7600NEX. 
 

What’s the best way to tap into that black/ red wire? I’d like to cut it and solder/ shrink wrap. I don’t think I have the skills to strip it back and not cut the wire like you did! 
 

What is all the 3D calibration for?? I can see it’s learning what direction my car is moving but what’s the purpose?

I called Pioneer about Siri audio, they were less than helpful and blame my phone. I know it’s not the phone but I’ll try my wife’s tonight.

I just completed the update to 1.13. No noticeable fixes on my end. Siri still sounds like garbage. 

CarAVAssist is a complicated pain in the ass that requires a very precise and intentional workflow that differs based on the function one wants to perform. To update the firmware, there is no need to connect CarAVAssist using the CarAVAssist source on the head unit over Bluetooth. Firmware updates only work over a WiFi hotspot, and must be done from within the Firmware Update menu on the head unit. Here is what I did using iPhone...

1) Assuming you have already setup CarAVAssist between your head unit and phone, open the app on your iPhone, tap “Firmware Updates” and download the new firmware. This step can be done from your house WiFi away from the head unit. The initial CarAVAssist setup alone is a pain in the ass, and is required so your phone knows what head unit you have.  If folks need help with this, let me know.

2) This assumes you have already set up the head unit to use the iPhone hotspot. Note that iPhones disable the hotspot after 5 minutes if there are no connections to save battery. Activate your iPhone hotspot by going to Settings/Personal Hotspot and waiting, or by dragging down from the upper right corner for the Control Center, holding your finger on the WiFi icon, and then tapping “Personal Hotspot” to make it discoverable. Wait for the head unit to display the connection notification. 

3) Open the CarAVAssist app on your iPhone and go to the Firmware Update Section. 

4) On the head unit, go to Settings/System/System Information/Firmware Update and tap “CarAVAssist”.

5) On your iPhone CarAVAssist app, start the installation process. 

Thank you! Seems like it’s not even worth doing for me. 
 

I got an update from a gentlemen at Maestro regarding the camera views and steering wheel control (that currently don’t work):
 

pionner plans to release firmware in September that will fix the issue with Maestro/ camera view commands. I wonder what else will be fixed in September? Kind of disappointing. I didn’t buy a $1000 receiver knowing it would have a beta firmware on it :/.

@mfvtgtgsWith the 7600, I just forcibly push it. Not tabs or buttons. 

Interesting about the Siri. I can’t imagine the actual components or hardware are any different, other than the screen.

@Dizle, I’d call and report the Siri problem to Pioneer support. I did last week. This may be a problem with the 7600. Hopefully it is a firmware-addressable problem!

Thanks I’ll give them a call! 
 

How’s your wireless CarPlay? My phone needs to be quite close to the pioneer or else it cuts out. I practically have to set it on the dash above the radio to get a solid signal for CarPlay, I’ll mention it to pioneer as well. 

One other thing I can’t get to work at all: i have the Maestro RR for steering wheel integration, and I added a front camera. I programmed the RR for press and hold track up: front view camera, press and hold track down: rear view camera. Neither of these work, maybe the head unit and Maestro are missing the right commands because it’s so new? 

Mine is also quite slow at start up, it boots up in about 13 seconds but navigating menus and such after that time period are still pretty slow. Love the unit so far and hoping they fix some minor things with software updates! 

Siri and calls are a huge part of CarPlay, I hope they can fix it with a firmware update! 

How does Siri sound with your receiver? I have the wt7600 and when I ask Siri a question she responds with a robotic voice. When I’m following navigation Siri sounds fine.
