I've got an 8000 and installed the firmware update with no problems. Everything seemed to work just fine until I used turn by turn guidance in Maps. The voice prompt is LOUD and I mean LOUD like the speakers might blow. At first I thought this was just me having the setting in the Maps app on the phone set to high. However, the setting was set to low. I decided to change the settings and retry and none of them seem to have any effect. No matter what I do, I can't get the guidance voice to a "normal" volume. Has anyone else had this issue?

Just got a Appradio4. Updated firmware (1.08). New iPhone 6 (iOS 8.2). My maps app freezes consistently. Usually within minutes of usage on my appradio, my maps will free up, and the radio will become 100% unresponsive to any touch. This is while in Carplay mode. When I unplug my phone during this, the radio will exit carplay and my normal features work on the headunit, but if I try to plug my phone back in, I cannot get back into carplay. The only way to get back is to reset my phone completely. To rule out, I have tried 2 iPhones so far. Same issue. Both latest software. Does anyone -
Hi Folks, Not sure if anyone else has had some goofiness and hopefully Apple and Pioneer will make nice and work closer together to resolve things. But here is my experience, strength and hope so far... First off I really like the CarPlay features and I think it has made me a much safer driver. I really like how the 15 second advance/rewind works for the Podcast app since that is what I am often listening to while driving. Much safer with the big buttons to skip commercials. I am pretty handy and the install of the unit was easy. Total cost was just at $500 US with Amazon. Comp

Has anyone else experienced this? I'd say I get good 'ol mini keyboard 50% of the time I try to type a destination into Maps on my 4000NEX:

Newbie to Pioneer NAV. I just installed a NEX5000 into the wife's Handicap accessible minivan. Replaced the factory radio and the external Garmin. (We've had Garmin's since 06) Best Buy sold me on the Car Play instead of using a Kenwood like I have in all my other vehicles. Anyway, years and years ago I installed Pioneers and I got this one installed and it looks great. The Car Play took a little setup since out of the box the HU was on 1.03 and I had to dig around and realize that I had to upgrade to 1.08. Once I did that I got the Car Play to work. My questions are: 1. Can I impor

http://www.imore.com/overcast-update-brings-ipad-carplay-support Most interestingly, is that Overcast 1.1 adds CarPlay support. Up to today, Apple has only whitelisted apps by big developers for CarPlay, suggesting Apple may start welcoming a wider base of partners, such as other ‘indie’ podcast clients. That being said, Overcast is currently not featured on Apple’s CarPlay microsite. Overcast 1.1 is available for free on the App Store, with an optional in-app purchase to unlock all functionality.

I am having Avic 5000 Nex with Iphone 6 running IOS 8.1. The daytime Apple maps displayed in car play unit looks washed out. The 3d rendered buildings are not clear where as in the night time the map looks fantastic with perfectly rendered buildings. Any one is having similar problem. I think the problem is with Nex 5000 display.

Its so annoying that Apple and pioneer can't get together and make it so you can do everything on one connection. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Currently, you have to connect via the thunderbolt and HDMI adapter to get iPhone mirroring and stream video from your phone to the 8000nex. CBut wile your connected with the adapter, CarPlay doesn't work.. Has anyone come up with a way to do both either thru the adapter or direct connection thru thunderbolt?? My thunderbolt/hdmi adapter is intermittent thanks to the stress of moving the phone around while its connected.. must be a be

I picked up a used iPhone 5 over the weekend to use for CarPlay in my AVH-4000NEX stereo. I leave it connected via USB cable to port 1 in the radio. Every time I start my car, The Pioneer start screen launches, then CarPlay takes over - I have to hit the ok button on the disclaimer, then NEX, then whatever is currently running on the right, in order to get to the NEX interface. This is pretty annoying... Is there a way to set the radio to NOT launch CarPlay every time I start my car?

I'm sure a lot of you have run into it... the messaging bug where Siri seem to read the last message you sent to someone, instead of reading the most recent message they sent to you. It can sometimes make any attempt at a hands-free conversation pointless. It's NOT a language thing. I tried having her read messages to me in a variety of ways... "read texts" -- "read unread messages" -- "read unread text from so-and-so"... etc. NOTHING solves it except this cancel button thing I'll describe below. I do have firmware 1.08. Matter of fact I just updated last week and the whole messaging thing

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/10/21/apples-patented-iphone-based-carplay-remote-starts-cars-performs-high-level-functions An Apple patent published on Tuesday could foreshadow future CarPlay functionality that allows users to unlocks car doors, start the engine and perform other automated tasks based on a user's proximity to their vehicle. Source: USPTO The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Apple U.S. Patent No. 8,868,254 for "Accessory control with geo-fencing," which basically turns an iPhone into an advanced car remote when paired with a CarPlay-like "accessory" de

The guy at Pioneer was a complete prick, but I did report that the audio/video resume on USB is broken and does not work. This is very annoying, and makes a large thumbdrive almost usless... Please post any other bugs here, so we can at least point these things out to Pioneer... I also learned that you can not revert back to 1.05 firmware.... Detailed explanation: When inserting a thumbrive on 1.05, it will read format, and then you can navigate to a folder, say a long audiobook, and start playing... Say you get to chapter 3, you turn off the car, and when you turn the car back

Hi All, Thanks to everyone who was able to host the firmware updates over the last day or two... was a big help. I wanted to bring up an issue I noticed with my 4000nex (updated to 1.06) Most of the carplay apps seem to function as intended except for Music. I am able to hear audio when playing genius mixes but NOT when selecting a stations in iTunes Radio. It appears as if the head unit 'thinks' it IS playing something but no audio ever comes through. I tried this while the phone was on wifi as well as LTE and 4G but haven't had any luck. Could i have an option set incorrectly some whe

For those with the 8000 who have updated to CarPlay, are you able to pinch-to-zoom with Apple Maps? If so, how smooth is it? More generally, how responsive and smooth is it when scrolling through the various CarPlay screens?

So I just installed carplay on my 4000-next this morning. SWC controls work only for volume up and down while in carplay, previous and next does not work. Mode looks like it switches background audio input so I can get radio running in the background of carplay? Anyone else having similar issues? Next and Previous work correctly outside of carplay.

So I was on the chat with Apple in regards to a missing street on their maps app, when I decided to ask about Carplay. http://imgur.com/hiYyxJX http://imgur.com/qmLJ8OL As you can see in the two photos of the chat, what seems to be the case with CarPlay is not that CarPlay itself is unfinished, or that the Pioneer Software is not ready, but that the development tools for 3rd party CarPlay apps is not yet ready. This makes sense. The only times I have seen 3rd party apps shown off on Carplay is when Apple is the one doing the Demos. When I have seen demos from Hyundai, or from

Looks like @PioneerUK Is Responding to some tweets. Got The following out of them: @bass_rock @dz1262 firmware cannot be released until approval has been granted. Once approved it will be released. Till the we have to wait Then I sent this: @PioneerUK@dz1262 Ok. what about features like map updates and iOS 8 Fixes.? You had 5 betas and all summer to fix iOS 8 issues. Then this: @bass_rock @dz1262 map updates are available. Not all bugs can be fixed by Pioneer updates. Some are with in iOS8 itself Will update when more comes. Looks like they are currently play

I've been checking up on the Motor Trend long term tests of the Forester XT since I just bought one. Also been waiting for CarPlay to come out after market head units to come out before deciding which one. I was a bit perplexed when I saw this update that started out with this:

I've read that Alpine plans on having CarPlay-ready head units available later this year with a price range of $500 - $700. While I know full well that those are wild guestimates, I'm really on the fence about and may consider waiting for two primary reasons: 1) I've been in the electronics development biz long enough to know that the "first-to-market" is often times not the best. I'm not saying that Alpine's units will absolutely be better than Pioneer's, but sometimes, when a company develops a product from the start with a particular feature set in mind, it's often more optimized for th

As a fairly new owner of an 8000NEX, I wanted to share my first impressions of the AppRadio Live app. Overall, I like the look and function of the app. The interface is clean and it's fairly easy to navigate. It seems a bit limited right now, and I wish the other AppRadio apps and main Radio functions could be accessed directly from this new space. The main issue that I have right now is the intermittent connection issues each time I plug my iPhone up. Sometimes it connects, and sometimes I am stuck on the screen asking me to make sure my phone is not locked (it is not) and I have an
