Sooo, upgraded iPhone 5 to iOS8, now I can no longer control playback from my 4000NEX. I can still browse and select playlists and files just fine, but it says "pause" under the track progress bar on the NEX's screen. Never seen that before. Have to press play on the iPhone. Anyone else having this or other issues after installing iOS8?
I didn't have any issues on my 8000 other than possibly having an initial issue with playback. I just don't remember as it has been find ever since. Close all your apps and the music player and try again.
Pioneer posted an article stating there are ios8 compatibility issues.
Those issues are with Appradio mode. Controllability of an iPhone with iOS 8 works fine.
Had to restart the iPhone and it's working now, weird.

I've actually seen the bug on iOS 7 as well. But a reboot of either the phone or head unit cleared it up.
For the sake of documentation, I had this happen this morning and I almost freaked out as the head unit isn't too old. But I rebooted everything, the HU, iPhone, iPod and it worked fine... now if we can just get that carplay firmware...
AVH-4000nex
I have had no issues at all with App Mode or Pandora. Everything works as expected.
I've had over 20 apps update on my phone in the last day and I have been running the GM for over a week. Keeping fingers crossed that once all these apps are updating we see something. Otherwise, I'm just thinking Carplay has been shelved for awhile.
The GM is the same as what was released yesterday.
After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4S I completely lost the ability to use handsfree phone over the bluetooth on my 7000NEX - it lost the connection many times, made the call on the handset but never put the audio through the speakers without showing the phone controls on the 7000NEX - also the push to talk feature became unreliable and the new "hey Siri" feature doesn't trigger the handsfree mode on the 7000NEX (only on the iPhone). I'm not sure if these issues are a result of the iPhone or the 7000NEX or both. I'll know more tomorrow when my iPhone 6 Plus arrives - I'll try again with the 7000NEX and see what happens. I'll also give the iPhone 6 Plus and 8000NEX a try and report back. I'm switching from 7000NEX to 8000NEX because the screen glare on the 7000NEX is horrendous the screen is completely balcked out by the sun much of the time......

That is EXACTLY what is happening with my iPhone 4s and 7000NEX. Everything worked normally the day before but after the upgrade it's pretty much toast. Sometimes when I turn everything on and on again it will work for a bit but it dies shortly thereafter. Honestly I don't expect my difference with the 6 Plus but who knows. Kind of annoying though because I use the hands free and play music through my iPhone most of the time. Hope a firmware upgrade comes out soon smooth all of this out.
Did you reboot your phone? I am using an i5 with iOS8 without issue with the AR2.
no issues here with my i5 and 7000
Well... I'm having the same issue with the 6 Plus. So I wonder if it's a pioneer problem or an iOS 8 one. Sure would be nice if at least music and Bluetooth phone calls worked...
If anyone had any success making it reliable again I would love to hear about it.
Likely an iOS8 issue. Try deleting the profile from the previous phone and rebooting the new phone.

I am having issues making a bluetooth phone call with my new iPhone 6. All else seems to work, but no audio through the NEX when making a call. Don't even get the "in call" screen. Texts work, address book populates, pairing is ok. I used the beta and GM release of iOS 8 with my old uPhone 5, so I am believing that there is some differnace between the older iPhones and the new 6's. Unless I am having a brain freeze and missing the obvious.
Can you make a call with the 6 plus through the NEX?

BTW, I did do the usual stuff. Removed the older phone from bluetooth connection and did a Bluetooth clear.

Nope, at least not reliably. I also had this cool this "feature" where the NEX starts dialing a number and the screen does show up but nothing is happening on the phone. I've finally resorted to just turning on bluetooh on my phone.
Now playing music does seem to be working now. Just concerned about the reliability.
On my new phone - I set it up on the main screen of the phone then did a restore and it came back as "Duane iPhone 4s" with everything on it. So - if other folks are having no issues I guess the next step is to restore the phone as a new device and reload everything manually. I would rather not do that unless I have to.

That's is exactly what I had to do, and it worked for me. A pain, but it works.
Try a full reset of the unit first.
I read in a BMW forum that you had to just do a "reset all settings" and it fixes the Bluetooth issue. This reset does not remove any data from your phone. I tried it and it worked for me! Nex8000 iPhone 6

Well so far this seems to be helping. I did the Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. I was able to connect via bluetooth (phone) and make and receive calls. I'll play with it more when I actually drive somewhere but so far it appears to be working as expected. If it doesn't work or it starts acting flakey again I'll update this thread.
Duane...
Just a reminder, make sure the name of your phone doe NOT have any punctuation. I.E. "Jim's Phone" should be "Jims phone"
Hope this helps
I reverted back to ios 7, hated ios 8. It was draining the battery much faster and personally I think there is nothing special about ios 8 but thats just my opinion.

Seriously? Pioneer can't figure out how to deal with an apostrophe? Lmao. Every day that goes by I have less and less faith that Pioneer will be able to pull this off...
