  1. It appears they said "you get a camera and a new product name" and left it at that.
  2. USB 3.0/3.1 ports, digital out, higher resolution screen. Don't know if the CPU/RAM config has changed, but I know my 4100 could have benefited greatly from higher performance in reading large capacity SD/USB drives.
  3. From what I can tell, the only difference appears to be a bundled camera. Disappointing.
  4. I'm happy to report that after installing the AVH-4100NEX, it performs noticeably better than the AVH-X2800BS. Thus far (I'm still compiling the music) I've tested it with 650GB comprising over 30,000 files (about 90% FLAC, otherwise MP3) spread over an SD card and two USB sticks, all of which are 256GB capacity and FAT32. I'm going to continue pushing the capacity limits. The touchscreen responds pretty much immediately upon full boot, unlike the 2800. It also starts playback from the SD/SB inputs in about half the time. It still takes about a minute before it will start playing music, w
  5. Hi, I currently have the AVH-X2800BS, but I might be getting the AVH-4100NEX from my brother in law for a low price. I'm very excited about the prospect of dual USB + SD card for music storage, plus the other additional features. The X2800BS is a decent unit, but there are a couple issues I'm wondering are present in the 4100: After starting the car, it takes about 30 seconds before it will respond to any user input. This is particularly annoying when I forget to turn down the volume before shutting off the car, because on startup it stays at the same volume, and if it's too loud, I hav
  6. Does this mean having the Play Store, root access, overclock, etc.? I wonder if anything can be done about the number files/folders limitation?
  7. I've always assumed the limit was per input. Waiting several minutes for the unit to read the drives sounds awful, though. I put 10K+ files (FLAC + MP3) on a 128GB Micro SD card in my 2 year old Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and it took my music app about a minute to read them the first time, but has been instantaneous every time since. I can understand a delay on first connection, but it's pretty weak that the Pioneer struggles with this every time.
  8. Can anyone verify if the file/folder limit is the combined total for the device or whether it's per input?
  9. Yes, the 15K/1.5K limitation is a letdown, as I'd like to have at least double that capacity. The Clarion VX405 claims to support 65,535 folders/65,535 files via USB, but I don't know if that's a theoretical limit - it could bog down after 1,000 files. Ideally I'd be able to have my entire PC music collection (about 100K files, mostly FLAC) on tap in the car, but the only other way to do that would be a CarPC, but that's more complicated and more difficult to access my lifetime SiriusXM account. I wonder if the 15K/1.5K limitation is a hardware or software limitation?
  10. I would double check that after you copy all the files onto it. I've read that there are lots of fake drives out there that claim to be bigger than they really are. What people have reported is that it looks like it's copied all the files, but they cannot be read after that. According to HP's site, that model only goes up to 64GB. The Kingston 512GB drive is over $700.
  11. Think there's any chance Pioneer will listen to us regarding the sorting & gapless issues?
  12. I have resigned myself to the assumption that a HDD won't work, but when I get the 4000 I will still give it a go, even if it means leaving it attached overnight to try and get it to finish. If it doesn't work, I will just have to "suffer" with using the 64GB and 16GB USB sticks and 32GB SD card I already have, augmented by the 80 or so CDs I have on-hand until I can budget for the SSDs. This still represents a huge increase in available music compared to my current CD-only setup, so not a bad scenario to start with, and massive storage to be added down the road. I hadn't thought about the
  13. It's a 500GB HDD with 14,999 files and 1,421 folders, totaling 370GB of FLAC files.
  14. I left the drive with them and they said it sat at 99% for over two hours, after taking about 20 minutes to get to 99%. Do you think it could really take THAT long? I'm wondering if an SSD would do the initial load any quicker, or if the lag is based on the the head unit processing the list. Any thoughts about whether it might work any better on FAT32 vs NTFS?
  15. Yeah, I really thought it would work, as it should have had plenty of power. It's NTFS, so I might give it another try on FAT32. It could be that the display unit in the store has an issue or the drive itself, although the drive works fine with every PC it's been attached to. It also didn't work with both USB connectors plugged into the 4000. Ultimately, I'm sure it will work with a pair of big SSDs, but that will add over $400 to the total cost.
