Ok, so i have two questions. I've not updated to 1.06 yet (i'm still on 1.01 firmware). I have an 8000nex. Currently i have 2 iPods setup on iPod 1 and iPod2. iPod 1 is my 64GB iPod with iTunes Match and iPod2 is a 16GB iPod running my Audible software that i use to listen to my books. Right now as it stands i can start my car and no matter where i'm at in the pioneer UI my music or book or SXM or HD radio start back after the Pioneer boots up. I like this and i'm not wanting to screw this up. Every once in a blue moon the audible will start up paused, or switch to music and i have to mov

My iPhone 6 with iOS 8 does not work bluetooth wise with my 8000NEX. When i get in the car to drive down the street, they connect and then it immediately pops up a dialing box, on the screen like i'm calling someone. This cannot be hung up on and upon minimization it pops back up a few moments later and i can't really do anything with my NEX. Sometimes it says Call Waiting, sometimes it's some random number in my phone book. So either the Pioneer until cannot handle bluetooth with 6 (and 6+ i guess) or there's something buggy with how iOS8/iPhones communicate with bluetooth and they need to fi

8000. The display is awesome. I've seen it side by side to the 4000 and 5000 locally and it's a nicer looking screen with brilliant color, and very fast responsive controls.

This is more of an FYI... I have had the 8000NEX installed and working perfectly since late march when i purchased it. I bought it on the release date and received it 3 days later and immediately installed it that night. 2 weeks ago it started acting odd. It died in the middle of driving. After i arrived home i checked the main Audio fuse in my car and that was good, but i changed it just in case. I pulled the unit out and checked it's fuse and it was perfectly fine, tested with another exactly the same and still no function, then i put the original fuse back in. Put the until back into the

Apparently the answer is no. you have to manually change the EQ you have after each source change. The Z150BH said it would store the EQ setting for each source (just like the source volume sync feature), but it never worked. The 8000nex didn't even mention the ability the have custom EQ settings per source.

I've run my HDMI cable, but i hate app mode.. i just use the lightning cable for iPod mode and blutooth for calls/siri and such. I'm personally waiting for CarPlay. AppMode kinda sucks IMHO

You have to choose a different voice. The TTS (or TTY) is the one that tells you street names. The Amy voice, for example, doesn't. It tells you this in the info below the voice when you choose it.

I actually bought two of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MW6HRO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and two of these (amazing quality): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A47AWBQ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then i ran the two USB extension cables through the center console of my SUV and mounted them inside the little glove box in there. Then i used the coiled lightening cables to connect to my 2 ipods/iphone and then mounted the iPods together using (fact to face since they are flat and produce no real heat) http://www.amazon.com/gp/produc

Thats for iOS 7. For iOS 8 there are hints that it will support CarPlay wirelessly. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/03/14/ios-8-game-center-notification-center-messages/

This is all i know of that will stay held: Nav -> Nav Menu -> Go > to Settings -> Navigation Map -> Map Display -> Viewpoint -> And you get Close, Normal and Far as your 3 options. These are the only "zoom" levels that stay once set.

None that i've seen. I'd love to have a calibration setting. Mine always shows me 2 mph slower than my normal speed. I got the same issue with my "outside temp" on my dash in my car. I'd love to be able to tweak that one as it's always 4 degrees off. Make sure you have the car speed signal cable hooked up properly.

1. I have album art, full library full everything with just USB1 -> iPod via 1 long USB extension cable and 1 lightning adapter. So you are wrong on that. You get full functionality. 2. I'm not a huge fan of bluetooth since it drains the battery, sometimes acts randomly (like disconnecting etc..). If you use the USB it will charge your phone, less likely to have random disconnects (but not entirely so), and over BT you don't get album Art. 3. I don't use my HDMI/AV cable, but i went ahead and ran a longer HDMI cable out of my head unit and into my armrest console (where i keep my

I'm not exactly sure. I thought USB1 had to be used for the AppRadio (via HDMI/AV cable). When i had mine setup originally i had my iPhone in USB1 with HDMI/AV cable and my iPod touch in the USB2 port and that worked just fine. So if you are OK with reversing that order, then yes, that will work. But if you need to keep it in the order you have then i can't answer that one for you, maybe someone else has this setup.

Yup. I tested my iPod2 with music (instead of Audible) and it perfectly remembered my spot.

My iPod touch on USB2 always remembers it's place. However its running the Audible app. I haven't tested it with Music. I'll do that tonight and see if it still works the same way.

For Music i don't care. I'm with you. But when listening to an Audiobook and it mutes so she can give me the directions i'd prefer a pause/unpause. I'll just have to live with the mute i guess

The Pandora thing is kind of a PITA as far as i'm concerned. I have 2 iPods connected to my head unit. 1 for music and 1 for Audible. And i have my iPhone 5 using BT for Siri (sending emails and texts) and for phone use (i don't want all my music on my smaller 32GB iPhone as it stores lot of apps, some basic music, pictures i take, etc... wouldn't be enough room for the music i want to have access to in the car). I don't use the AppRadio stuff nor anything else. My iPhone is not plugged in, in any way, to my head unit (8000nex). My idea was the following: iPod1 (iPod touch 64GB all my mu

I have it set to Amy and my volume is at 40%. I had it at 24% before and while driving down the highway jamming (quite loudly i might add) to some FFDP, she tried to give me directions and i couldn't hear her at all (as the mute level wasn't muted enough). So i adjusted mine back up to 40%. I may re-evaluate my mute mode and see if that helps (maybe like completely muted vs just a lower db level). However i really do wish we had the option to pause the audio while giving instructions and then un-pausing afterword, but i don't see that happening, like ever.

Have you tried using the TTS voice instead of the Amy voice in english? The TTS voice announces street names and the Amy one does not. It says it in the description under the names. Try changing the voices and see if that gets you what you want.

I was about to let people know about the slider. That's just another neat feature i've found in this GPS unit. I have to say i'm thoroughly impressed with the 8000nex unit over the z150BH by a very large margin. I keep finding all these little details in the GPS system that make it so much better than most others i've had. And i had a recent top of the line Garmin. There were a few things in the Garmin that i miss in the 8000nex unit, but the list is getting shorter by the day that i use it as i find features in the 8000nex that can do the same job, or make the previous feature in the Garmin m

Ok. Apparently this is ASL. I didn't remember seeing this in the z150. But the 8000nex has ASL. If only i could understand what the heck it means by my options Low-mid-high. I assume high does more adjustment, while low does less of an adjustment. Not sure, but i hope so. Gonna set mine to Medium and adjust from there.

Quote Isn't this the setting zoom you might have been looking for: Nav -> Nav Menu -> Go > to Settings -> Navigation Map -> Map Display -> Viewpoint -> And you get Close, Normal and Far as your 3 options. Granted it's not as many as others have, but it's more than reset. Mine stays on Close no matter my driving, sitting still or turning on/off the car, etc... Quote How do you dim the buttons? I'm ok with them being dim during daytime as i can see the buttons fine, but at night they are so much brighter than the rest of my console lights. Quote I

I believe this option is under Nav -> Nav Menu -> Go > to Settings -> Navigation Map -> Map Display -> Color Mode (page 51 of the manual).

Mine worked too. Got the Set On popup. Will see if i get the message again. 8000nex.

My factory radio supported this and my z150bh is hooked up to the VSS cable (info screen shows speed pulse working great). However it doesn't seem to increase or decrease the volume as i get on/off the highway. I thought this unit supported this feature and i can't find anything in the options to modify this nor anything in the manual. Does it support this?
