Was using an iPhone 6 on iOS 8.4 jail broken no problems. Got an iPhone 6s on 9.0.2 and when I press talk button on steering wheel (assigned to Siri with maestro interface) I now get the new ios 9 Siri bing-bing sound and about 1 second later I get the old iOS 8 Siri bing-bing which cancels out the first one. Anyone else having this issue?

Is there any chance a different USB drive would work? Have other people found that a different USB drive works when another one does not? What about USB 2 vs USB 3, is there any issue with one or the other being recognized by NaviExtras? Most of these seem unlikely but since the software won't even see the USB drive, I'm just not sure what to do.

Just purchased 8100 and following the Pioneer documentation to update the map software using a USB drive with NaviExtras Toolbox. Following all instructions to the letter... appropriate size drive, format FAT32 on computer, run SyncTool in USB1 on 8100, insert into computer and run NaviExtras Toolbox... always says "No Device Conneted". I've tried this on two computers running Windows 7 and same situation. This is very frustrating. Any other way to get the map update info that would come from NaviExtras toolbox downloaded onto my USB drive? Thanks.

Thanks. This worked. A shame Pioneer couldn't be this straight forward with the instructions.

Thanks!

I tried copying the whole download folder over to the formatted USB drive and this did not work, got an error from the HU stating "copy only the correct update file and try again". Nowhere in any of the documentation on updating the firmware does it indicate which of the 30+ files in the download folder is the "correct file". There are several files that are large (i.e.; >200MB) but would hate to guess and get the wrong one. Anyone updated their 8100 to 1.03 that can tell me the correct update file name within the firmware download folder?

I did pay them $15 for the module. Given that I have no install skills and they are a very well-respected company with whom I've done business on numerous occasions, I feel comfortable with how things turned out. Good to know there is an on-screen option and will keep in mind for the future. Thanks for the info.

The procedure listed by Pioneer for updating the firmware of the 8100 to 1.03 states: "Connect a blank (formatted) SD card or USB storage device to your computer, and then locate the correct update file and copy it onto the storage device." When I look in the "AVIC5100NEX" folder (I did double check that the firmware download folder for the 8100 is, in fact, titled 5100 for some odd reason) there are a handful of folder and a handful of files. All of them have names that seem to have relationship to the 8100, the 1.03 firmware, or anything else that seems helpful. I'm uncertain how t

NaviExtras won't recognize my SD card either. This seems unnecessarily frustrating. Is there another location online to download the same content provided by NaviExtras?

SpecTrax, can you share the specific steps you took? I have done the following: 1. Format USB drive for FAT32. 2. Insert USB drive into USB cable from 8100 and run SyncTool. 3. Insert USB drive (now formatted and with SyncTool completed) into computer which is not recognized by NaviExtras. Can you share how the above would be modified or augmented to complete the process that worked for you? Thanks very much in advance.

Thanks, 493008. That was also useful. I'm still trying to figure out the off-center fix. I posted the question to the guys that did the video you shared and perhaps they will have feedback. Much appreciated.

Hmm. You got my attention with the ASL. I actually find this a useful feature but makes sense it can't work if the HU doesn't know the speed. May need to have my installer connect the wire if for no other reason than this one. Thanks again. Very succinct and helpful overview!

Thanks. The HU itself sees the USB drive and will run through the SyncTool process without any issue. It's my computer that isn't seeing the USB drive. Are you suggesting that, even though the USB port on the HU that I have used seems to be seeing the USB drive and performing the SyncTool operation, I should still try the other USB drive on the HU?

huddy, thanks very much.

After my 8100 was installed and the installer did a "bypass" using a module that they typically use, the nav screen said "Speed Limit wire is not connected. Will operate in Simple Hybrid Mode." What does that mean?

2010 Prius IV with stock backup camera which is mount about 6 inches off center of the car above license plate which used corrective software or some aspect of interface to ensure image showed center of the car. Now that 8100 installed, camera image is displaying exactly as is, so about 6 inches off center. I have been unable to find any camera settings on the HU to correct this as I was able to do on a previous car with a pioneer camera and HU combo. Any options to correct the image so it's center other than running a pioneer camera in addition to the stock camera?

First time user just had an 8100 installed, trying to update the map firmware. I have used 2 separate USB drives on 2 separate computers running Windows 7 (one virtual on a Mac, the other an Acer desktop) and get the same result. I format them with FAT32, then into the HU to run SyncTool which works fine and indicates USB drive is ready. I have installed NaviExtras, it tells me to connect my USB drive. Plug in the USB drive and nothing. The computer sees the drive and I can use the drive with any other application that interacts with removable storage device. NaviExtras indicates no devi

Thanks.

Thanks to all. Very helpful. MrEos, I'm looking at getting the 4100 as well. Are you using the Pioneer backup camera with your 4100 or your OEM backup camera?

Darn, that is annoying. Seems odd that it would be a legal issue given that many OEM nav units stopped having those warnings awhile back. Hard to understand any logic or benefit (not that these are the guiding principles for laws in general, unfortunately ) to having a tiny slice of nav units on the roadways (i.e.; aftermarket headunits) required to have an "OK" button but the other 99% of nav units out there not having this. Perhaps aftermarket companies like Pioneer feel it gives them some legal coverage if someone tries to blame being distracted by the headunit as the cause of an accident

Not sure if the "OK" is for nav units only or ALL NEX units. Does 4100 have this?

My OEM unit shows rear camera input almost instantly on turning on car and immediately into reverse to exit garage. On the 4100... how quickly does rear camera input appear if you turn on car, then immediately into reverse? Thanks.

I've had my X910BT for about 6 weeks now and find myself very unimpressed overall. Truthfully, I wish I could return it. Often with electronics, operator-error plays a big role so I'm gonna post a few of the bigger frustrations in the hopes that I can eat humble pie when someone actually knows how to fix them I upgraded to the most recent firmware from Pioneer's site in late September with no issues. 1. Backup camera - I have the NB-PA Pioneer model which has a cartoonish picture of low quality at its best and every 2nd or 3rd use it will complete distort the image with wavy lines an

Can't offer feedback on the env touch pairing issue or the hd tuner because I don't have either of those. But, the aftermarket volume knob for the headunit is great. I bought one as well and worth it for notable improvement in usability. You might consider posting each issue in a separate post with a title to the post that is specific to that issue. I think more people might be apt to chime in on a single issue, but reading through a larger post and trying to dissect each problem can be more daunting. Good luck with the other issues.

I don't recall the steps, but just followed the manual directions to pair the device and then upload contacts. It worked exactly as described in the user manual.
