nolarola Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Per http://www.macworld.com/article/2147901/carplay-for-the-rest-of-us-pioneer-demos-apples-interface-in-its-nex-infotainment-systems.html, Pioneer is saying it will release the upgrade in a matter of weeks.

nolarola Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 "The upgrade will be available as a download from Pioneer’s website, which you can transfer to your NEX system using a USB key drive. When? Pioneer’s official line is early summer, but Cardenas called it a matter of “a few weeks†before the upgrade would be available." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tekki Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Clicking the Mode button when in CarPlay mode, takes you to the NEX receivers home screen menu where all the above functions can be accessed. Click Mode again and you are brought back to the CarPlay screen. NO MORE POP-UPS OR WARNING MESSAGES! Nice I like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DP3343 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Today is is May 16th, the apple WWDC conference is June 15, which is a few weeks away. If you wanted a date I'd bet it is that. Based on what was said on macworld, it isn't Pioneer that is holding up carplay. It's Apple. In the demo you couldn't even use the 3rd party apps they showed off at CES so I guess they aren't ready yet, and Siri didn't do a perfect job, again, not ready yet.

vwgolfgti Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 I wish I could afford to upgrade my head unit, or get a new car with CarPlay, but I can't. I'm mainly interested in being able to listen to music and podcasts from my iPhone in the car and I found an app that is a pretty good alternative. The developer states on the App Store page that he designed it with in-car use in mind, so you can quickly start playing an album, and easily control playback without even having to look at the screen, unlike the standard music app which has small buttons that are hard to press accurately when your phone is mounted in a dock at arm's length. It gets regular updates, and one feature I particularly like is that I can listen to podcasts and music within the one app. Oh, it's called Harken For iPhone. http://bit.ly/HarkenForiPhone He's also got an iPad version.

rso81 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Guys, I think when getting my 8000NEX installed, I screwed myself over...I had them route a lightning cable (not the USB extention cord) to USB port 1, and apparently that's where I'm supposed to use a thumb drive?! The manual says that firmware updates can also be done over an SD card. Should I be fine using that? Everywhere I've refered to advises of a USB thumb drive. Why wouldn't I be able to use the SD card? Do I have to take my car back to the installer?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 If the manual says you can use an SD card, why are you concerned? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rso81 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 VBLUE42....only because everyone is mentioning a USB key, and doesn't advise of the SD card still being an option. Nothing more....I know, it's stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
