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:

Hey everyone, I wanted to start a consolidated thread of all the common issues people are having with the Carplay update. My issues so far: 1: Loud POP through speakers when powering off car or removing faceplate 2: Audio quality of voice calls is terrible compared to Bluetooth 3: Head unit will randomly freeze & restart itself 4: Spotify app is mostly useless, unable to search or navigate "back" to previous menus 5: Other 3rd party apps such as iHeartradio & Stitcher not showing up at all I feel like I'm missing a couple other smaller ones, will list them once I remember

SO glad others are experiencing this as well. My AVH4000NEX did not exhibit this at all prior to the update. Now whenever I power the car off or detach the faceplate, I get a loud POP, which is AWFUL for the speakers, mind you. For the sake of troubleshooting, my speakers are run off an external power amp & RCA outs, not the internal power amp. Unfortunately, Pioneer will probably have to release an update to fix this.

Yep, 4000 for all above mentioned reasons.

Music/Maps connecting as phone call on startup??

I think that's a good call, tekki. If the common component is the phone, I should probably suspect it is causing the issue more than the HU. I'm gonna try re-pairing the Bluetooth connection & see if the goofiness continues! -
So, this same thing happened on my old AVH-x8500bhs receiver, so I know it's not an issue with just my unit. For whatever reason, on occasion if I already have google maps running on my iPhone before turning on the HU (4000NEX), the Bluetooth audio will connect as if I'm having a phone call with myself and start playing music & navigation in "phone audio" mode, which not only sounds terrible, but I have a call in progress on my HU screen & if I tap the "end call" button, nothing happens. As far as I can see, the only way to get out of it is to turn off Bluetooth on the phone & br

So, I'm sure I'm not the only one that is incredibly annoyed by this. There I am in my car, I've just spent a good 3-4 minutes getting AppRadio mode working with music & navigation. Great! Ready to go! -turns engine on- NNOOOOOOOO I HAVE TO START ALL OVER BECAUSE THE POWER TO THE HU CUT OUT!! This may not be the case will all vehicles, but I know it is for most. I have a 2002 Subaru WRX. If anyone has a solution to this that would be great!

I'd like to know this as well. I just picked up a 4000 & will probably remove it at least twice a day. I've already had a couple of odd issues where the picture won't show up, then I detach & re-seat the screen & everything works just fine....

Yeah, AppRadio mode is almost useless to me too. CarMedia Play is one of the least stable pieces of software I've ever used. Try EC touch if you want a media player app that works in AppRadio mode. The main thing for me is that none of the navigation apps work without issue. Waze-black bar across the top of the screen, navigation itself is hit & miss. NavFree-doesn't speak street names. MotionX-asks you to pay $25 then still isn't very good. Man, I can't wait for CarPlay to be released!!

Hey guys, sorry my first post is going to be somewhat of a rant but I'm seriously SO fed up with this stupid head unit. A little about me first, I used to install car stereos for a living & recently worked for Apple as a technician for around 4 years. I recently had my trusty old Pioneer HU stolen, which was one of the first iPod compatible models. It worked flawlessly with it's live-in-car iPod for about 7 years. Well, I decided I wanted to finally get a double-DIN unit to put in my '02 WRX. The 8500 really appealed to me because of the removable faceplate as a security feature, as w
