Don't think you will get much help here with that condescending attitude.

best answer for you is to read the readme file for appradio unchained it will give you step by step instructions

regular HDMI will work

You really have to play with brightness,contrast in the head unit.

I used apple carplay on my 8000 since it became available, in my opinion carplay has been a much better experience than android auto. I do not line the way android auto looks on the 4200 and I don't like that it takes over the phone completely

Also if it's installed to right in your dash causing the pop out to rub against anything it will fail to open as well. Test this by pulling it out of the dash and open and close it. Possibly slide it out a little further

My 8000 isee to get hot, it then again I'm my seqoiya I can't even stick anything to my windshield cause it will fall off. Ezpass tag tries their sticky, super glue, hot glue. Nothing worked. Ok baxknfonwjati did for nex over heat issue. I have an ac duct close to the nex soni just drilled an 1/2 hole in the duct and hot glued a pipe around it to blow right onto my nex inside the dash. It worked perfect, I never over heat anymore, for winter I just put a cap on the pipe so heat isn't blowing on the nex

Have you tried pulling, let it sit a minute and then plug it back in. If that doesn't work you most likely have a faulty unit, the nex line is very responsive, nearly Instant

2 ways to do it but you need an android phone

Mirrorlink feature is one way. And the other way is wait a little while because waze is in beta right now to be used on android auto.

If your an iPhone user, just start waze and use Bluetooth, youbwont get video on your head unit from waze but at least you will get audio prompts and use of the audible warnings

I had the 8000 with carplay and decided to Go android, never used the maps in the 8000 because they were absolutely terrible, that's why i went 4200 this time around. Just very disappointed in android auto display.

I have the 4200 with Samsung s8 plus and google maps is very washed out. I have made every adjustment possible I can find on my radio and phone. Very disappointed

i didnt think the 5200 had an HDMI port

Let us know how you make out, I'm actually interested in getting the S8, only thing that's holding me back is the compatibility issue.

Android Auto not working for newer USB Type-C phones (including Pixel)?

Applicable models: AVIC-8201NEX, AVIC-8200NEX, AVIC-8100NEX, AVIC-7201NEX, AVIC-7200NEX, AVIC-7100NEX, AVH-4201NEX, AVH-4200NEX, AVH-4100NEX

Pioneer has identified a connectivity issue between newer phones using USB Type-C (Nexus, Pixel, etc.) and Android Auto compatible Pioneer NEX in-dash receivers when used with a non-certified or non-compliant USB Type-C cable or USB Type-C extension cable.

 

If you are experiencing this connectivity issue, we recommend directly connecting the Pioneer NEX in-dash receiver to the phone using only the Pioneer supplied USB Type-A extension cable and a certified USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, preferably under 3 ft. in length. Direct connection using a certified USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable, preferably under 3 ft. in length is also acceptable (omitting the Pioneer supplied USB Type-A extension cable).

Note: Connecting the Pioneer NEX in-dash receiver to the phone using Original Equipment (OE) USB ports, found in some vehicles, can produce connectivity issues and is not recommended.

Please see below for a list of certified USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables that have been recommended for this use by Google for use (November 2016).

i still have an 8000, i dont use the on board navigation, cause your 100% correct, it is terrible, i use Waze for Long rides, and use apple for short rides,

What settings are you using for navigation? Fast,short?.....

When I first had my 8000 installed my mic was up by my sun visor, changing the volume levels didn't work either, caller still heard an echo, so I moved my mic and put it down by my speedometer. My callers do not complain about an echo anymore and I have their incoming voice level at a very comfortable level. My suggestion is to test areas to place your mic, adjust the voice volume, figure out which speaker the voice call is coming from.

Does the bypass still work on the 8000 after updating to this new firmware

If your going to use app radio in smart phone settings select Apple adapter then connect to usb1 using the hdmi Apple adapter

 

In settings turn off CarPlay.

 

If it's not working reboot phone,

Here's a how to use video

 

 

However honestly I use car play all the time unless I'm on along trip in an area I don't know where the cops hide, then I use waze for my navigation. I have had the nex 8000 since the first few weeks it was available. Avicsync does give a few updated options but for me, I don't use them

If the dash cam has a video output, you can connect it to the camera input or the rear camera input, however the pioneer will not do any recording for you. That would only be done on your dash cam

I wouldn't mind wireless for short drives, but long drives I would still plug in

I have 8000 and I get my alerts wether I'm doing Bluetooth or connected as CarPlay, just make sure your set up in settings and if car play is working properly

They do have overheating issues when sitting and the sun is hot. Best advice is to get a windshield shade and put it in while your not using your car, that will keep your dash from heating up, and your radio

I wish they went back to actual names and icons, I hate the bubbles, it's so friggin cheesy
