The single cable is currently only for 2015 model year dvd receivers. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Press-Room/Car-Audio-Video/Pioneer+Gives+The+Gift+of+Firmware+for+the+Holidays We will see if they update the NEX line and the Appradio 4 to support this as well. As far as older radios, in standard Pioneer fashion I'm sure you're SOL.

Display quality is what I'm talking about. The blacks on the Appradio 4 are grey. They display backlight is so poorly done that there is light bleed from the bottom and top of the unit, the viewing angles are horrendous, and both units ive seen so far have had a faint flicker when staring at them. In comparison the colors on the 8000 are far more accurate, there isn't light bleed, and the viewing angles are far superior. Are they both 800x480 displays? Yes. Are they the same breed of displays? Not even close.

You can disable carplay, but honestly, especially in the 8000 don't knock it till you try it. Carplay is awesome.

Appradio mode using only USB. For android and iOS. Looks like for now only Pioneer's new head units support it. I don't care. I have carplay. It wipes the floor with Appradio mode, and from the looks of things, Waze isn't supported. It's appradio mode with only the AppRadio live app and nothing else. Whooptie freaking Do. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Press-Room/Car-Audio-Video/Pioneer+Gives+The+Gift+of+Firmware+for+the+Holidays

Nope. On the 4000-7000 you get arrows on the sides of any menus with scrolling and scroll by section. On the Appradio 4 and 8000 NEX you have smooth inertial scrolling like on the iPhone. You also can pan through the map on the Appradio 4 and 8000. No up down left right arrows.

I literally need nothing else. I went to a store today that had all the different Pioneer NEX units, the Alpine ILX-007 and the Appradio 4. The 8000 has the best display by far, but costs way too much and does too many things that I don't care about to justify that ludicrous price. The Alpine has gimped carplay like my 4000 even though it has a capacitive display. The display on the appradio 4 is absolutely horrendous. I just can't win. Here's hoping someone gets it right eventually.

Dimming has nothing to do with it. The displayed map is controlled by the phone and the phone auto switched from day and night mode depending on the hour. Also it only shows night maps during nav. If you're just using the map, it will always be bright.

It doesn't matter which usb you use for Appradio mode. The usb cable is solely used for power. You could technically make a power source for your phone directly to the battery, and Appradio wouldn't even notice.

Just press the mode button to get to the pioneer music controls. Use that to control the SD card, and carplay navigation will still play through the speakers thanks to Pioneer's audio mix feature. This also is the case if for some reason you are using the Pioneer nav and carplay at the same time for music.

I love carplay. I don't touch appradio mode. I do use HDMI sometimes to play movies for people in the car (seriously, a movie can play on the radio and I can drive. It's called looking at the road, not the screen.) but I never touch appradio mode anymore.

Pioneer has announced nothing on the topic. Google is at a very early stage of the process and has not listed a launch date. Sorry man, but welcome to us with carplay 6 months ago.

Technically no. All Appradio apps run appradio mode independent from each other. So for example if the only appradio app you had any interest in was Waze, you could download waze and nothing else, and every time you open the Waze app it will display in appradio mode on the display, while nothing else will unless you are mirroring the display. Now if you want to go in with Appradio, the Appradio app is your center hub that the phone will go back to when you press the home button on the head unit. Personally I find Carplay to be what Appradio wishes it could have been.

I love my NEX 4000. It's superior in every way to my appradio 2. Things you get over your 3 on the 4 Bluetooth folder browsing, including iphone iTunes Radio support for the built in media player. Carplay More audio sources. Higher voltage preouts HD Radio (I use this more than I would have imagined) Actual media support for things like SD cards, and flash drives. A second USB port to do with whatever you like An aux jack as well, and much more random crap. Mind you 95% of what my NEX can do I don't touch, but if any of the above things are wort

He doesn't want to disable carplay. He just doesn't want carplay to start up automatically. He wants to choose when he wants to activate carplay.

checklist to make sure carplay will work You have an iPhone 5 or newer Your headunit is running version 1.06 of the firmware or newer Under Input/output setting-Smartphone setup connection is set to usb with carplay on You have a USB to lightning cable plugged into USB 1 on your headunit You are running iOS 7.1 or newer on your phone. If you answer yes to all questions carplay should be working. If there is somewhere you don't have it setup exactly like this, that is most likely your problem area.

Yeah. Umm are there any non asian radio manufacturers? Common theme of asian tech is listing as many features as humanly possible regardless of how well any of those features work or how useful they are. My NEX supposedly can practically cook me breakfast in bed based on Pioneer's website, but I'm just happy when appradio mode or carplay works every time I get in the car.

Look at the Appradio forum to see users using iPod touches to run Appradio mode. Ligning is a digital solution. There is no need for a dedicated Gps input. It's just data. Just like the data from the headunit of where you're touching the screen, or the voice from the microphone, the gps signal is sent to the phone via Usb 2.0. You're talkig about 480mbs transfer rate for the port. There's plenty of bandwidth for the gps data.

Incorrect. The iPhone can use an external GPS antenna when appropriate, and in the case of pioneer head units with built in GPS the iPhone is able to use it.

Most modern pioneer head units use the parrot fc6000s bluetooth chip. They at one point advertised this fact with the Appradio 3, but at this time, they have pulled all mention of the chip. I plan on taking apart my nex4000 out of boredom in the near future. I will let you know if that chip is in there as well.

After reading through the manual of the Alpine, and knowing my 4000, here are my thoughts on all 3 options Alpine ILX-007 Advantages 7 inch Capacitive display 600 dollars less than an 8000NEX much smaller footprint Dedicated Siri Button Smartphone integration for audio tuning Disadvantages Most Expensive of the 3 choices Nowhere near as expandable as Pioneer units. Specifically No iDatalink Connectivity. No HDMI No HD radio only 1 USB port No Bluetooth Only 1 camera input No SD card which btw means you have to pull the head unit or route the extension cable to the cab

If you want to extend the lightning cable in order to hide your HDMI adaptor, use the cable jive cable. Apple certified, great build quality, great price. If you are talking about just the lightning cable for carplay, all you need is a USB extension cable, like for example the one that comes with your NEX. No special cable for that is required.

Whatever. I'm just using rdio which works great. Had to restart the app once so far, but even then it started working great right after that.

I'm a "developer" (I get the emails) and Pioneer's most recent announcement was telling devs how to turn off the buggy features. It seems that these are actually things that Apple broke in iOS 8 and are things that they are aware of. Many people don't realize it, but Apple worked with Pioneer when it developed AppRadio mode. It wasn't some hack using a feature that they didn't have the capability to use. I personally think AppRadio Mode was Apple's RoKR phone for the car.

As far as what's been told no. Pioneer has launched the Appradio 4. They won't be supporting the 3 anymore. Also the 3 is not as powerful as the NEX line, nor does it run the same OS as the NEX line (windows CE on Appradio 1-3, Android on NEX and by proxy Appradio 4)

It's an iOS 8 problem especially. The software has glitches galore. Siri keeps just not working on me at random regardless of Carplay, but without her half of the carplay stuff doesn't work.
