When I go to Pioneer's web site, I can find support info for the 5201 but not the 5200. It does seem that these are different, yes? I would just like to be sure I have the latest, but can't even find that out. I have 2 of these units, and CarPlay has never been super stable. Sometimes replacing the cable helps, sometimes not. Ironically, it feels like it's been *less* stable with my newer phone.

Anyone have any pointers?

Thanks, @bonee. I don't know why I wasn't finding this, but other than feeling a bit foolish, I appreciate the help!

1.08 release notes do claim "Stabilizes Apple CarPlay connectivity" so I am hopeful. On my first unit, the update went through the first phase, but after rebooting just hung for a long time before claiming failure. Tried the auto recovery a bunch of times, but no dice. Copied the software to another USB stick, and then it worked. Phew! That was a bit nerve wracking.
