Sounds like you work for Pioneer to me.

I have had no issues with my 5 & 8000NEX. Tomorrow, I'll report what my 6+ does.

qft I'll report what happens when I get my 6+ tomorrow.

If/when Carplay happens we'll be able to do most of this anyway, that is another dream at this point however.

Not the way I'd approach this. Good luck.

I'm pissed but nowhere near lawsuit pissed. I had Kenwood units going back to the pull out tape decks of the 80s up tp 9980HD and after revisions sh!tcanned previous models year after year plus the general bugginess referred above I went APPRADIO3 last year & 8000NEX this year. The NEX sounds head & shoulders above anything from Kenwood & I loved my Kenwood units.

Nice we have to do detective work for an update.

The sad thing is I don't think Pioneer knows.

Dear Valued Pioneer Customer: We would like to advise you regarding the AVICSYNC feature update for Pioneer NEX models. Pioneer had anticipated that the update would be available in spring for all NEX models with embedded navigation (AVIC-5000NEX, AVIC-6000NEX, AVIC-7000NEX, and AVIC-8000NEX). With a connected smartphone, AVICSYNC would provide a simplified interface for accessing subscription-based services such as traffic, local search, weather, and gas prices. Unfortunately the update for AVICSYNC has been delayed, and the revised release timing is expected to be by the end of this yea

Sloppy is kind. I agree hopefully whenever it is released it is at least fully sorted.

If Grandma had balls she'd be Grandpa. They did set a date, that date has passed & I find it great all these Pioneer employees are here to shovel the corporate fecal matter.

I have over 2k songs in my iTunes library, I put them on a 64gb SD card which took up less than 15gb & they live in my 8000.

Sure and if they had said firmware release date subject to Apple's release permissions sometime in the future no complaint would be reasonable. Unfortunately, they did not.

This one does not say anything about not being available now! http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/CarPlay/

My point is these came to market with an early summer promise. That missed equals bull. How anyone thinks it is ok to make a promise, break it and say well now we say something else is nonsense

They initially said early summer which is not September.

They sold the units with a promise of early summer carplay. When I buy something with a promise I expect that promise to be kept. The least they could do is give a reasonable timeframe explination.

2016? with Carplay?? lol

I have also had this issue. I am used to my Garmin so after a few tries reverted to my Garmin for NAV, my APPRADIO3 210 first line Pioneer service experience was pretty poor, I got my 8000 by going over their heads but a smooth process I'd not call it although I am happy to have the 8000 now.

I hope this is true, that means :35 minutes! lol

Yes. It is increased & decreased by turning the sub volume up & down.

It is connected via RCA from the sub out. When I turn the amp down it is too low.

I drove today with someone else in the car & had the sound turned down & found the sub (running from an external amp from the RCA sub out) is not controlled by the volume. It stayed at 4 (fine for running at moderate levels) but over powering at low levels on the volume control. Is there a setting I am missing to modulate it via volume control?

I have lived with the 8000 for a while and am really liking it. The APPRADIO3 sounded fine, this sounds great. The AR3 BT worked ok, this connects immediately and works better/responds faster. My only complaints are the delay of carplay firmware and lack of info on an actual release date. I bought my radio being told early summer which is over, what is next? Early fall?
