  1. How is the image quality day and night?  Was it easy to setup the grid lines?  How hard was the install?

    Image quality is pretty good, despite the colors being off.  Green=purple.  I sent it back and the second one was the same way.

     

    The grid is built in on the camera w/o any adjustment so I had to turn off the Pioneer grid.  You can "adjust" the grid by tilting the camera before you lock id down via a set allen screw.

     

    Night time is pretty good because of the 10 IR led's on the unit.  Looks like a spotlight in the camera at night.  I wired mine hot to the ignition so that if I wanted I can monitor the camera w/o being in reverse.  My last radio a JVC was easy to do this.  The Pioneer has a very odd way of doing it.

  2. I think when in app mode, like running waze or something, when you adjust the volume, you will see tabs and an app volume control on the right.  This allows you to select the audio source.  So you can do HD radio while running an app.

     

    It's odd though that you also seem to have to turn the app volume all the way down because it doesn't seem to switch the app volume off like it does the HD radio.  For example, if you're running iHeartradio app, you have to turn the app volume down, which appears on the right as a volume up/down push button, then select the HD radio tab for example to select it.  I have not tried other sources like the sdcard.

     

    This is on my 4000nex.

  3. I have a 4000NEX.  I just replaced a JVC that a neighbor broke when he threw a rock through my rear window and it hit my HU.  I guess I was lucky in a way, because now I'll be able to have Car Play.

    I actually replaced it with a Clarion 400nx with navi.  Then a couple days later Pioneer made the announcement of Car Play.  So out came the Clarion for a return and I ordered the 4000NEX.

     

    I also added a panel mount HDMI to go along side of my panel mount USB.  My truck is a 2001 Silverado, so I had to do the 2003-and up dash swap to go from 1.5 din to double din.  Glad I did the work.  I like how it turned out.  Now just waiting for Car Play.

  4. Exactly, just like another video input selection for the camera.  My JVC and Clarion had it.  It's kind of odd that it doesn't.

     

    I really don't understand the point of the "Camera View Set On" feature.

  5. Thanks for the info.  I'm finding app mode to be quite glitchy.  Moving around apps causes the radio to lose connection to the pioneer appradio app.  I'm really just waiting for car play now.

     

    For anyone else searching Waze not working, there is a "Control Waze from car unit" mode that has to be turned on in the Waze app settings menu.

  6. I just installed my 4000NEX a few minutes ago.  This is my first Pioneer in 25 years.

     

    I have my backup camera working just fine.  Auto switches when I go in reverse, etc.  What I'm looking for is a way to turn on the backup camera while driving.  I tow a trailer and would like to look at it.  I don't see a way to activate a menu item for it.  I see "Camera View set to ON", seems to literally leave the entire radio on the rear camera.  I must be missing something because this seems to be an odd behavior.

     

    Is there a way to get a rear camera menu item to switch in and out of?

     

    I'm a little confused on the smartphone setup.  Why do you have to choose between bluetooth and usb?  With bluetooth setting, you can't use the iPod.  

     

    I was playing with the app radio mode.  Got it running fine using the av adapter on my iPhone 5S.  Is there anything you need to do to get Waze working on it?

     

    What can I use usb2 for when I'm using usb1 for my iPhone?

     

    Thanks for the help.
