Ok, so i just checked pioneer's site for this head unit while researching specs for my speaker upgrade and i see that there is an available Update out (1.11) which has been out since LAST December LMAO!!! Well anyways i have been reading this thread and pretty much every response.. i have not done the update yet but i have downloaded the folder and have it ready on my USB... Is the update worth it? And I have downloaded the AvicSync app for my iPhone and messed around with it a little bit and i don't see what the big deal about it is? It basically does some things that CarPlay al

yeah I'm sure there are other ways of doing it but I just wanted to keep the center console USB hub active and run less cables not to mention having an ugly cable coming out of my glovebox lol

Here is the pics I promised.. how I connected the center console USB to my Pioneer Head Unit (Bypassing the uConnect module) Sorry for the delay... On the left i am holding the adapter and on the right (gray connector) is the one that is plugged into your uConnect Module. You have to unplug it from the uConnect module and then plug the black adapter into the gray connector and then your USB cable will go from the black adapter to the Radio Head Unit.(#1 slot for CarPlay and #2 spot for normal USB modes) ---------------------- Here is how i have mine tucked away and connected. It works

I will take a picture and load it up to show you soon. But what I did was pretty simple after figuring it out. Behind the A/C control panel and the one under it that is the cargo net thing, there is the uConnec module... un screw that and then there are connectors going into it.. I believe there are 2 connectors.. one bigger and one smaller.. The smaller is the Jumper USB from the center console. Unplug this one and then you will need an adapter like this $1.68 piece of joy (female mini USB to Male USB A): http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10314&cs_id=1031401&p_i

I have the "RES" model and I have Phone buttons both on the steering wheel and on the stock radio Head Unit. I called into support yesterday and was told that I am not able to retain my uConnect Microphone since it looks like it is a powered mic (3 wires-1 Black, 1 Red, 1 White) which i confirmed the wires... I don't know if it is possible to strip and connect these wires into the Pioneer microphone that looks like a 2.5 Jack. I flashed my module with uConnect retained and I couldn't use uConnect for anything. I didn't even get the voice command when i pressed the uConnect VR button on the ste

Thanks I'll check out the forum... as for the question, my stock radio was an "RES" model with phone buttons and my steering wheel has phone buttons on it. My main question is can I use my stock Bluetooth microphone for phone calls but use the receiver Bluetooth for Bluetooth audio streaming? If so how can I set it up?

What features? Factory Bluetooth?

Just confirming that this trick worked on my 8000NEX the first time.. I think i grounded it right... I connected the Light Green wire from the back of the Head Unit to the Light Green wire that was on My iDataLink Maestro CH1 harness.. (I believe this ties into the factory Ground wire that is in the Vehicle's main Harness ('14 Jeep Wrangler JKU)) Thanks OP! My one question is that, Can I disable the warnings you get when you start CarPlay or the Map modes every time?

Now I am curious about this because I noticed that when I mirrored my iPhone 6 on my 8000, it seemed a little distorted but when i played an episode of Breaking Bad via Netflix it seemed to look good.. it just seemed to look weird when i was looking at the iPhone home screen... hmmmm

First off, I wanna say hello to you guys out there. I am new to this forum as a member BUT I have been reading a lot of threads and have gained much useful information and help from you guys and for that, I thank you! The reason I am coming to the forum to ask my question is because the ASSholes at iDataLink support center were rude and really didn't help with my concerns and problems. My questions/challenge for you is: 1. How do I need to setup/Configure my Pioneer AVIC 8000NEX Head Unit with my iDataLink RR Maestro with CH1 Harness adapter for Jeep/Chrysler....? Installing into

Hey buddy. I have a '14 Wrangler and it has Connect in it and I am using the Stock Speakers. No SUB YET... Bill, How do you have your 8000NEX setup too? Steering wheel controls? what harness are you using? I have a 8000NEX and I'm using (trying to use) the iDataLink RR Maestro Harness
