  1. I have an axxcess unit.... I'll see if this is the case with my truck in the morning.
  2. My 8000 does this. I don't have a maestro. It's been doing it since I installed it. There are times when it will happen every time I start my truck for a week and then it wont happen again for a couple weeks. I have emailed pioneer a few times about it but always comes back to the same "solution" of sending the unit in for repair. I'm not eager enough to do that as changing sources fixes the issue for me. The thing about that workaround is I cant just change source from, for example, XM to USB. I have to change from XM to USB and then back to XM and this will give me sound. It's annoy
  3. Have you tried just changing the source instead of turning your car off and opening the door? My 8000 does this occasionally, starts with no sound, but once I change source (USB>XM>USB or XM>USB>XM) the sound will work fine.
  4. I have a 6+ and I have had an issue with playing spotify via USB. Today my phone was connected, I turned my truck off and left the phone connected and when I turned my truck back on my NEX said "no device connected" and then the unit rebooted itself. I unplugged and plugged the phone in a few times and it wasn't recognized. Finally recognized it after a few tries.
  5. I have been wondering about Carplay and bluetooth for awhile now. If this is 100% true (which it seems it is), it would mean that Carplay is not dependant on bluetooth which makes sense. I have been thinking for awhile that the USB1 and USB2 setup on the NEX units has something to do with Carplay connecticity and this makes me think that even more.
  6. Can we all agree that perhaps advertising the NEX line to have carplay way in advance to carplay being released was a bad idea on Pioneers part? They gambled and to me it seems they lost. I would try to put the blame on apple, but Avicsync not being available leads me to believe that this is more of a Pioneer being unable to deliver issue. At this point I'm just hoping that when they finally release Carplay and Avicsync updates they don't decide a few weeks/months later to release an updated line of Carplay compatible units that have better functionality to compete with the immanent Kenwo
  7. Is your phone plugged in and charging while you listen?
  8. If you build the pc yourself, you can get a soundcard with RCA or even digital optical out and route the audio through a DSP like the bit 1 or 10, or even a mini DSP. This would be cool because you could do all the tuning with your dash screen as well instead of using a laptop. He has the budget for it if he forgoes the 8000nex.
  9. If you are building a carputer why not just use a touchscreen that plugs into the computer? A quick search brings up this: http://store.mp3car.com/New_Black_Double_Din_Nano_ITX_Carputer_Enclosure_S_p/ENC-041B.htm?gclid=Cj0KEQjw7b-gBRC45uLY_avSrdgBEiQAD3Olxyd67jLID5sx7Fyp11A19FH3xISOi3PZaMcNpzbLr6kaAtGs8P8HAQ Thats simply a 7" touchscreen in a double DIN case. You can get a standalone screen that is of decent quality for under $50... what is the point of using an 8000NEX when you can get all the same functionality out of the computer itself? What are the specs of your PC?
  10. was it another dent and scratch or brand new? glad to hea you got it up and running!
  11. If that is the case, do a quick run through of your install just to be sure nothing is screwy with the GPS antenna/connection. I am sure you have tried a hard reset of the system already? Contacting pioneer is just going to result in them telling you to send it in for warranty repair. If I was in your shoes I would go to the shop you made the purchase at and talk to them about it. They could be helpful or try to push the blame onto you as you did the install on your own since they didn't get the easy money from doing the install, but hopefully that isn't the case. Hope you can get it
  12. maybe contact pioneer or the place you bought it?
  13. I would contact cruthfield first thing Monday morning and get it sorted. The adviser you purchase from on crutchfield is associated with the order # so if you have any issue you can look at your order and at least mention the adviser by name then mention what he told you about none of the functions being impeded.
  14. Sounds like its been dropped to me. Wavy screen and no response from the unit? Did you hit the reset button before you tried to get into the setup screens?
