i wonder how many hits a day the pioneer support page "downloads and updates" gets. 

Anyone have an idea that once the firmware is finally released if our bypass will stop working?

We know absolutely nothing about this update besides that it is supposed to bring carplay. Pioneer has made no other mention of what the update might include.

It may be as simple as the 8.30 update for the Appradio 2 that added iPhone 5 support but fixed zero bugs and changed nothing else in the system. That update was so minor that pioneer actually told users that if they did not have an iPhone 5 that the update was utterly unnecessary for them.

On the other hand it could be a comprehensive update with bug fixes, new features that aren't carplay, like full idatalink support or better media mixing capabilities (letting you play off of bluetooth when an iPod is plugged in via USB for example).

However as of today we know nothing. We know an update is coming before summer ends on September 22nd (hopefully) that will include full carplay support. Past that we got nothing.

I spoke to Apple today about my 6+ and asked about Carplay. The issue required a senior advisor who seemed knowledgeable and said Apple has released what oems & aftermarket manufacturers need and now they need to implement it.

So more spin. The manufacturers have to implement it and Apple has to approve it..and we go 'round and 'round!

Unless you have an update from Tim cook or Ted Cardenas it isn't news at this point.
