Hey!  I'll be receiving my AVH 4000NEX later this afternoon and was wondering if anyone here had one already?  I'll post some pics, videos, and a review once I have mine installed.  Prior to purchasing the unit I compared it to the other NEX models and the biggest differences seem to be the lack of built-in NAV and capacitive touchscreen.  Since Carplay is coming soon I figured why spend the extra $300 for built in NAV that I'm sure won't be any better than Apple Maps.

Feature Comparison I did between the 8000,7000, and 4000.

I have a 4000NEX.  I just replaced a JVC that a neighbor broke when he threw a rock through my rear window and it hit my HU.  I guess I was lucky in a way, because now I'll be able to have Car Play.

I actually replaced it with a Clarion 400nx with navi.  Then a couple days later Pioneer made the announcement of Car Play.  So out came the Clarion for a return and I ordered the 4000NEX.

I also added a panel mount HDMI to go along side of my panel mount USB.  My truck is a 2001 Silverado, so I had to do the 2003-and up dash swap to go from 1.5 din to double din.  Glad I did the work.  I like how it turned out.  Now just waiting for Car Play.

Nice I too rather plug things in than to have dangling wires that can can be bent or break easily from the constant connecting and disconnecting

Just installed this unit in a 2010 Camaro. Very happy with the look and sound. Didn't need nav since app radio lets me use my nav from my Galaxy S4.

I installed the 4000nex in my 4Runner and I really like it, except the Bluetooth connection is finicky. The connection isn't very reliable and if using a nav app that routes directions over Bluetooth, the sound quality is terrible and because the connection is slow, it will cut off some of the speech. The crappy stock radio did A LOT better than this one. Only reason I don't complain more is because I envision Carplay will resolve this for me.

Is anyone else having trouble using Appmode?  I'v got the HDMI cable, Apple USB/lightning cable, and the apple adapter and can't get it to work.  I've downloaded several pioneer approved apps onto my phone.  The only thing that seems to work is Pandora.  I've also noticed that I can't use the HDMI input.  If I want to listen to my iphone I have to use the USB port.

It works but it's very temperamental.  Mostly mental!  

Sounds like you have an issue with your HDMI cable or something.  That has to work for app mode.

I have this unit installed in my 2014 Camaro.  I love it and can't wait for carplay.  Which dash kit did you use?  I have the metra kit but I am kinda digging the scosche kit with the touch screen climate controls.

I had this installed in my 2002 Nissan Maxima.  I use it with my 5s.  I really like the appradio and waze apps.  My only issue with the setup is that I have to go thru several steps to get it to start up properly.  I cannot hook up my phone, start the car, and have everything ready in a few minutes.  Instead I have to start the car, wait for the NEX to ask me to connect the phone, click the nex Okay (about not doing this while moving), click Allow on my iphone and sometimes having to unlock the phone as well to allow icarplay to start, click ignore on the nex, click ok on the nex, and eventually appradio will start.  This takes about 1-2 minutes total and way too many button pushings.  

I like the BT setup with the phone and using Siri for doing all the voice commands.

Just to fill out the rest, I have mine setup using my steering wheel controls for volume up/down, track up/down, and mute.  As well as a backup camera.  Overall a great improvement over the original radio.

Should add that I've also tried Mirroring but I find it not very useful.

I went with the metra kit also. I like the scosche too but I went on the camaro forums and they had hundreds of complaints about the kit interfering with the TPS and limiting the range of the key fob.

Yeah, that's what made me choose the Metra.  I just hope idatalink gets on the ball and makes it compatible with our cars.  Then it will be perfect.

Does anyone have a backup camera installed? If so, which one?

I went with this one, which is ok as long as you like purple trees

How is the image quality day and night?  Was it easy to setup the grid lines?  How hard was the install?

I installed the pioneer brand camera. The quality is only okay. I actually think the angle is a little too wide. I only half way set up the parking lines by setting them to match the lines in my work parking garage. Install isn't that hard but you have to know how to find the reverse bulb wire so you can trigger the camera. The best thing about the pioneer camera is that it always has power so you can see the camera anytime you want -- you can set others up this way too, just have to be intuitive in setup.

Image quality is pretty good, despite the colors being off.  Green=purple.  I sent it back and the second one was the same way.

The grid is built in on the camera w/o any adjustment so I had to turn off the Pioneer grid.  You can "adjust" the grid by tilting the camera before you lock id down via a set allen screw.

Night time is pretty good because of the 10 IR led's on the unit.  Looks like a spotlight in the camera at night.  I wired mine hot to the ignition so that if I wanted I can monitor the camera w/o being in reverse.  My last radio a JVC was easy to do this.  The Pioneer has a very odd way of doing it.

I have the visiontechamerica BOYO VTL275HDL installed.  Comes with a small 4 way control that allows you to change the zoom, turn on the LED lights, etc. Clarity in daylight is pretty good.  The LEDs saturate the image at night making it tough to see - there are some adjustments but I haven't tried those yet.

  I installed the same model this weekend.  I have an 06 Mustang and the issue I'm having is that the camera seems to be slightly off center even though it's centered on my plate.  The image quality is also not that great IMO.  Then again I maybe expecting too much.   What kind of car do you have?  

i have a boyo backup vamera. i lined up the 5000's lines with the boyo lines, pretty cool looking. i am running it to 6 speakers thru a 6 channel amp at 150 clean to each speaker. i then run  the sub out to a 1000 watt sub with custon box in the back of my 2500 mega cab. basically trashed my super cool, stock alpine upgrade, 9read that, it sucks0

Do you still have any hearing?

I put this one in:

It's ok.  Does the job, and is invisible up under the trunk lip.

I just installed Pioneer AVH-4000NEX with a ceiling mounted monitor, as well as a backup camera.  I wrote up a blog entry and you can read about them here:

Let me know if you have any questions!

The pioneer manual states, sdhc cards (32gb max), because sdxc cards are formatted exfat, and if you reformat to fat32 or ntfs, you have a great chance of data corruption. It is because of the controller built in the card. That being said, there are people who have reformatted and stored music 1 time and had the head unit only read. The problem arises when you write and rewrite. There are several posts about this.

No, what you're referring to is some folks formatting SDXC cards with FAT32 partition, using utilities like Fat32Formatter. In that case, one would expect problems as if the receiver unit writes data expecting standard FAT32 FS. Situation is different here as NEX supports NTFS (that, Pioneer correctly states in their manual), and the SDXC card is formatted in proper NTFS. I have not run into any issues so far with hundreds of media files on my 256GB SDXC card.
