It works! It works! It works! USB1 only! Upgrade took 7min. First it reads the card or USB. Need to do "Smartphone Setup" USB. Also enables "night mode" on NEX maps. Notes: Bluetooth terminates call in progress if plugged in during conversation. Bluetooth audio streaming is not available when plugged is as before. NEX route guidance is terminated when CarPlay guidance is enabled. I held off on upgrading my iPhone5 from 7.1 to iOS 8. I would love for someone else to be the ginnie pig on that.

I installed the RP4 for my 2007 VW and EVERY button on my steering wheel controls the NEX8000. http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId=1119&CategoryID=26

I like your theory Stiggysaurus!

Great question, because it took me forever to figure this out...When you adjust the volume when in map mode you will see two tabs below representing the 2 different sources. select the tab you want to listen to over the maps. Bonus, you may notice a separate volume control all the way to the lower right. Allowing you to hear more than one source at a time. Cool huh? I literally learned this stuff a few weeks ago and I had a major aha moment. -Mikemaan

Great review and demo of CarPlay on the NEX. So EXCITED!!!!

I know you can change the startup screen, but has anyone figured out how to change the "Loading…" screen? The splash screen or startup screen is so quick I would love for it to stay on during loading. Bueller? Bueller?

Great question. I don't think so, but I would like to add it to my future feature requests.

I just love how our old cars now have cutting edge technology in them that you can only otherwise get in a Mercedes or Tesla. The NEX adds value to our cars and makes me want to keep driving them. I am not jealous at all anymore of new cars.

Here are my custom Volkswagen startup screen and background.

Here's the custom backgrounds I made for my VW EOS. Enjoy!

Me too, Dre. I love that when you hit "Next Track" button it doesn't just cut to the next song, slowly fades to it. Brilliant! The "disco" lights are a bit gimmicky, but cute.

Slingbox works great! Yes: USB1 and DigitalAV mode, but it's not happy. iPhone4 works using same setup, same cables, but not the iPad3.

Do you think it will work on both USB 1 & 2?

I love love love the Nav on my 8000. So much better than my old Z3 and much more detail than Waze. I was so dependent on my Waze traffic I didn't think the NEX could rival it, but so far so good. Admittedly I live in a major metro (L.A.) and YMMV. It's kinda cool, there's an option for it to suggest route alternates whenever you're stopped. Each suggestion tells you how much longer/shorter the alternate will be. I also love the trip statistics screen. It even times how many minutes of the total trip were spent stopped in traffic. I love that it even has lane information for streets. You can se

I echo the clugey way AppRadio was put together. It is so illogical how somethings work when it's plugged in to USB1 or USB2 then Bluetooth playback is disabled. It makes me wonder wether these weird workarounds are Pioneer's way of engineering around Apples Strict API issues. I am crossing my fingers that CarPlay will open up the strictness of their API and make operations less clugey. My other theory is that Pioneer has tried so hard for the device to work with both Android and iOS that what suffered was the user experience.

Sounds to me like a bad cable or a bad connection.

According to the iDatalink website, the Maestro RR is not compatible with VW's before 2009. I hope that changes in the future. So for now, that data is not available on the NEX.
