And on that note, anyone know when Apple or Pioneer is going to fix this?
Update 10/12/15: I installed ios 9 and everything works again.
WARNING: don't upgrade to IOS 8.4, it'll brick your carplay

I'm on 8.4, and CarPlay works fine for me. What issues are you having?

I was also using 8.4 without issues in CarPlay... Until the lasted Pioneer firmware bricked my 8000...

Using latest firmware ip6+ and nex8000 the only issue I have is pandora cuts in and out sometimes while using CarPlay, but if I turn CarPlay off or just use Bluetooth it works fine

I have 6+ On 8.4 and CarPlay running perfect.

6+ with 8.4 was running CarPlay just fine, so is my 6+ with iOS 9 beta

I am having issues. My IP6+ on 8.4 is jailbroken and my screen either goes blank or I can't play music from the music app when I launch carplay. I'm about to restore and upgraded to 8.4.1 later this week to see if it will resolve my issue.

This is the internet folks. If one or two people have similar issues with a device, that means the entire line of that device is defective. Simple edumahcation.

There is a tweak called cydia impactor that lets you do a complete restore to you current firmware without having to upgrade. this way you can re jailbreak if that's not the issue. download it through cydia and run it right from your phone. I haven't tried it but it was made by saurik so I can assume its legit.

I upgraded my iphone 6+ from ios 8.3 to 8.4.1 and I started getting random hard lockups. I have my phone connected to the NEX when I start the car, maybe that has something to do with it. The exact issue has been reported by many people after they upgraded from 8.3.

I managed to downgrade to 8.4 (8.3 was already disallowed by Apple), reset my NEX, and reset my iphone, and so far it's been working okay... crossing fingers.

UPDATE: Updating to iOS 9 fixed all the problems. Thank goodness.
