I am using iPhone X

I just spent about 30 minutes trying.... Connected car to phone, phone to car, it never works!  mfvtgtgs, can you do a video of the update process?

Do you use the wifi hotspot, or the wireless smartphones option. 

What version of iOS?

Hey, have you done the brake bypass?

I just tried it on my Android and it says 1.13 is the latest?

I tried every setting imaginable. Tethering to my phone, using car wifi, just doesn’t work. I have latest version of ios. Interesting to learn the 1.30 firmware is only currently available for iPhones. 

Good news, the 1.30 firmware is available for download.

I've have been on all the iOS 14 betas and I still have it.  But I will say it was much lower in b4-b5, but I find that b6 (for the last couple of days) has been worse.  I think it might just be random though and unrelated to iOS; but I hope its related and Apple is trying to compensate for whatever the problem is.  I am largely hoping that iPhone 12 Pro (and QualComm) will fix it by getting rid of the cancer that is Intel modems

Just noticed this today and was headed here to make a post about the new firmware, but I already see that you are on top of it.

Has anyone been having problems updating the 1.3 with usb. Hasn't been working for me neither the caravassist

Is the issue you are having with USB the fact that it doesn't seem to see the USB stick?  Or is it something else?  I did have a HELL of a time getting the DMH-WT8600NEX to accept a USB stick.  I went through a bunch of different USB stick, all of them failed to be recognized, the only one that worked was a small, very old 1Gig USB stick 

I'm on my 3rd one now I got a small 4gb. What brand usb did you use and what format 

I have all kind of USB and never had a problem 4GB-512GB. Sandisk, kingston, etc. even cheap china made USB. i just format it in Fat32 and NTFS

Am I doing something wrong I download the file then extract it. But when I try to do the update once it say connect usb and hit continue it's like it's not recognizing the usb it just say connect usb and try again. But I play music and videos from usb.

I tried about 6 other USB sticks before finding one that worked.  Those other ones that failed, I have used to play videos on the headunit, so there is something about the firmware environment that seems much more "picky" than when using media.  The USB that worked for me was swag from some trade show, (it was a little plastic man, whose head comes off and is a 1GB usb stick), so I don't have any details about its make/etc.   Maybe bonee can mention a make/model/link for one that worked?

You may be right I don't know what to do I've bought 3 different usb to try 

Still haven't been able to update to 1.3 it's been over a month have anyone figured out a usb that works. And when will caravassist be fixed Still unable to update using the app?

I just forked over the $1,069.98 cents, and after spending thousands and thousands of dollars on Christmas for what seems like every kid in town ( we don't have kids, so we do it up for nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews every year), I figured I could get myself a tiny little present. I bought it 2 last Saturday,and had installed it myself by Sunday afternoon, using butt connectors,and shrink-wrapping then zip tying everything neatly together. The only thing I didn't do was get the bypass, because of a bad experience this summer where I paid a shop to install my AVH 4660 Next's bypass switch, and when I picked it up,not only did the video still not function, and they asked me to bring it back the next day just before close to have them find the issue. I can not got the life of me think of any other business that doesn't check to make sure something works before I told them that they could pick up the item they repaired because it was finished. Hell they had to drive it around the block because of one way streets, and didn't bother to bluetooth a phone to it or pop in one of their weird Kazakhstani porn like Borat Does The Herd (for great benefit of Kazakhstani People's and His Most Gigantic Prime Minister. Within a half hour of pulling out of their lot and agreeing to return the next day, my subs started cutting out, 5 minutes later they stopped completely. Before I made it another 2 miles, the truck died, and I had to pop the clutch and keep it damn near pegged in order to get it to Kroger so a tow truck could come get it and bring it to my brother in law's auto shop. Come to find out, they  had shorted something out so badly,that the solenoid wire on the truck had literally burnt into two pieces and my primary wiring harness to my ignition was a big old melt-y glob of my anger and discontent. 

So I decided to but this deck for my Yukon as soon as I heard I didn't need a bypass switch at all. And I did my own install,nthe correct way. Today my head unit just shut off when I connected my phone via Bluetooth. Just "blink" and blank screen with a cricket soundtrack. I called pioneer and they had a solution at the ready which leads me to believe that this is a common issue. Which is Insanity to me that your second most expensive head unit has a bug like that. Their solution (which is the only thing that worked) disconnect my battery and wait 30 seconds to let the radio reset. It's 30 degrees outside, why don't they come mess around with the damned battery.

So now I am attempting to do the digital bypass, with a stopwatch and a second person to start step 4 the millisecond the watch reads 10.000 seconds. But it has yet to work. I got the unit 9 days ago at the beginning of December, so all updates are installed. I feel like I wish there were a dvd slot on this unit that maybe I could (do what Pioneer secretly wishes they could make a thing) just feed the great money out in the middle of my dash,hundred dollar bills until it's fat and happy and let's me get a little funny cats with birthday hats fart loudly to the tune of "Oh Canada". Cant I be a weirdo in peace. Don't you judge me...... Hey you... Yeah that's right you there with the phone in their hand. No the other guy who looks just like you and also has a G's membership to midgetgrannycakefarts.com.... judge not lest te be.... And all of that jazz..

Apple carplay phone calls and siri sounds robotic. anyone solved this issue? i also tested this out with a Samsung and android works flawless with this receiver. I'm kind of regretting my purchase.

I have WC6600. Same thing. Anybody have a working bypass?

Has anyone taken this apart yet? Does this series come with an internal SD card as well? 

A post I made back here 

about the unit booting into this display, had gone away until I updated to iOS 14.3 now it boots to this screen every time!?  Anyone else having this?

Update:  So the update is, if I hit OK on the warning at the start the unit will show wiif-audio for a sec, and switch to CarPlay GUI, but if I leave the warning to time out, then it will stay in wifi-audio section.  This only started happening around the iOS 14.3 update, so I suspect its a bit of a incompatibility with what 14.3 wants and the Pioneer is doing on a timed out screen/(maybe just timing)

Update:  I only tried it once, but it looks like if I start the car with the phone plugged into USB, then even if I wait for the warning screen to timeout, it goes directly into CarPlay.  So the issue seems to be related to either/(or inclusive) iOS 14.3, wireless CarPlay, Pioneer Warning screen.  This makes me think their might be a setting in iOS I'm missing but I have tried changing a LOT of stuff so far to no avail, 

New firmware 1.31 is available.

Thanks I’ll give them a call! 
 

How’s your wireless CarPlay? My phone needs to be quite close to the pioneer or else it cuts out. I practically have to set it on the dash above the radio to get a solid signal for CarPlay, I’ll mention it to pioneer as well. 

I have a iPhone 12 two feet away from the HU and music with CarPlay skips for a brief half second every 5 minutes or so. (No skip issue with the radio feed)

is there any support for caravassist yet. When i talked to pioneer awhile back I was informed it wasn’t being supported.
