Hello All - First post to the site. I installed my 8000 about a month ago, and am excited about the Carplay update as it was one of the main reasons for shelling out the $.

I am trying the run the firmware update and it just sits there with the "Reading..." screen. How long am I supposed to wait at this screen before it flips to the next screen? I have tried two different USB sticks (different brands) with the file folder on the root of a freshly formatted drive.

Please help! I tried calling Pioneer and they ran through the same things I did and then said I would have to send it in for repair. Yeah, right.

Thanks in advance.

took mine about 5 min

I had same problem and nothing fixes it tried 2 micro sds 10 thumb drives redownloaded it 5 times. pioneer says to send it to them but i dont want to so its just going to sit here bricked i guess.....

Make sure you have hidden folders checked in windows, then go back into the drive and make sure thee isn't a hidden trash folder or anything else on it besides your nex files
