  1. Hi,

    Stereo 4400 NEX / firmware 1.02

    I have the issue of wireless carplay not auto connect to my iphone 13 when i get in the car (only works when i manually sync it ) . stereo shows the old iphone ( iphone 10). resetting everything and restore factory settings doesnt change anything, old phone still showing

    Can i reflash the stereo from an outside storage ? or i have to open the device and flash the "internal" sd card.

    What are my options ? everything else other than wireless car play works fine

    I did the same as @Datsun above however did so with the unit in the car. Overall process to cut the slot and swap cards was 15 minutes which included setting up the dremel and laying out the slot. Here's how I did it:

    1. Start unit and press eject then select SD.
    2. Once the face slides down, unplug the negative battery terminal to the vehicle. This keeps the face down the whole time and eliminates any possibility of shorting something out.
    3. Remove the faceplate from the Pioneer unit.
    4. Layout where the slot should be. You can use the SD logos on the plastic and the finger indent for the upper SD slot as reference points. @Datsun did a much better job locating the slot so use that as a reference. I was just guesstimating based off watching the Youtube video and pausing it.
    5. While holding a shop vac in one hand close to the working area, use a dremel carving bit and lightly start to work a slot into the face plastic. Don't go in too far or you'll hit the OEM SD card slot hardware. I actually knicked the card a number of times but it didn't effect it, not that it matters.  I just worked in shallow passes until I was all the way through.
    6. Once you're able to remove the old card, I used a utility knife to clean it up slightly but as you can see I didn't really go crazy trying to make it look pretty as it'll be hidden when the face is up.
    7. Insert your new card of choice.
    8. Reinstall your faceplate.
    9. Reconnect your vehicle battery cable.
    10. Once the unit loads, I did a factory reset just to ensure things were as clean as possible.

    Everything has been running great since. I was having issues with Android Auto not loading. This was happening on the 1.01 firmware and 1.02 firmware. My new SD card is loaded with 1.02 from the img file posted earlier. Just wanted to share.

    how thick is the plastic ? i dont have a dremel , im planning to use a razor / box cutter to make a that rectangle shape.

    is there a way to keep the slide down without remove the negative battery side ?
