  1. Ok so is anyone going to follow up with this claim that a group is willing to develop this for a price? Is anyone going to start a donation account? Are any of you actually going to donate to a group without actually knowing if they will or can do this? Oh wait, the original developer had a donation account and was actually developing this project. Did any of you so eager to donate to an unknown group actually ever donate to the original developer? I'm guessing not and that is likely why this project is dead and will likely stay that way! It's dead people, move on.

    I donated for a job well done years ago. I would not "donate to a group without actually knowing if they will or can do this" I'd suggest blanket attacks like this are not productive especially from a mod, however.

  2. Sorry guys... Dropbox has shut down my 8000NEX update links due to excessive traffic!  If someone has a personal ftp server, that would be the best way to share them.

    Mine is still running, shows 9 minutes left.

    Yes

    Cool

     

    Yes... CarPlay will not work if connected using the Digital AV Adapter. The Lightning cable must be plugged directly in to USB1.

    Bummer guess I'm pulling the HU anyway.

     

    Got any tips on pulling the unit out safely? I'm 99% sure my installers connected my lightningbolt cable to the USB 2 port on my 8000. I won't be able to bring the car in to the audio shop for atleast a week due to my work schedule.

     

    Thoughts?

    Mine is in an e53 BMW X5 It is not horribly hard, removal depends on the car it's in.

  3. Here is the 1.06 (CarPlay) update file for the 8000NEX ONLY!!!  DO NOT use it with any other model of NEX!!!  READ and FOLLOW the instructions (also linked below).  I don't want to be held responsible for anyone bricking their units!

     

    Also, I ask that no one on this forum shares the link... let's keep it to this community of enthusiests.  I don't want my Dropbox account being shut down due to high traffic! :-)

     

    Mods, if posting this link violates any forum polices, let me know and I will remove it.

    Thanks! Can I use the SD port?  I really don't want to have to pull the unit.

  5. first dont forget Pioneer never said what year they just said early summer! 

    2) on the 9to5mac site it doesnt say anything about pushing back carplay for Pioneer or Alpine just for auto makers.

     

    if you want car play so bad just go buy a new ferrari

    1) Sure, I doubt that defense would succeed in court.

    2)True.

    3) I'd love to will you give me the $?

  6. It might be good of you to actually check out the Apple CarPlay site before quoting an inaccurate article. 2014 is still referenced at the top of the page.

     

    Sure, they have not changed their page, that means it has to be so.

     

    Summer is also quoted on Pioneers, that door is quickly closing.

     

     

     

    Bottom line, this is a fiasco for both companies, especially Pioneer.

  7. Not at all, just not a blind consumer. I am an independent retailer/MECP/ASE certified 12v technician.

     

    Nice. Can you reply without condescension?

    Apple quietly removes promise of 2014 CarPlay availability as it adds CBS News Radio compatibility

     

    Apple has quietly updated its CarPlay microsite which explains the feature to add CBS News Radio to its growing list of apps it grants CarPlay support to, but a bigger change also appears on the CarPlay site this morning. Apple is no longer promising CarPlay support from any automobile manufacturer this year as it has done since its debut in March. While there has been no shortage of CarPlay demoes and availability announcements, actually getting your hands on a model with CarPlay thus far has proven almost impossible.

    The site now says CarPlay “will be available†from listed partners without offering any specific timeframe (and removing the 2014 language for specific brands altogether). This is likely due to delays in CarPlay availability thus far, even in models that have announced support earlier this year with cars that are now on the road.
