My car play was displaying at first but now the option does not come up. How to I fix this ?

[@deckerdotto6035]

I recommend to Restart your iPhone. Plug your iPhone into USB Port 1. Make sure Apple CarPlay is switched on in your iPhone Settings. Change the Cable you are using. Press the microprocessor reset button located on the hard key panel on the in-dash receiver. You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to reset the microprocessor.

I just got a a DMH-1500NEX but I plugged my phone in and nothing came up as far as carplay. Unless I need to find something on the stereo to make it appear?

[@pioneerelectronics]

I recommend to: 1. Install the latest version of iOS on your phone. 2. Restart your phone. 3. Press the DMH-1500NEX microprocessor reset button. You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to press the microprocessor reset button. You can find the microprocessor reset button on the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX on the hard key panel to the far right. 4. Try a different USB cable. Just because a cable will charge the phone does not mean it will work with Apple CarPlay. Don't expect a $1 gas station cable to work. Get a good quality cable. 5. The USB extension cable must be plugged directly into the back of the Pioneer DMH-1500NEX receiver in order for CarPlay to work. 6. Are you plugging your phone into the USB extension cable that came with the receiver? Or are you trying to plug into an existing OEM USB port? It must be plugged directly into the back of the receiver. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZbin Channel here: www.youtube.com/@pioneerelectronics

[@pioneerelectronics]

@@RushGirnty19 The Pioneer DMH-1500NEX includes a USB extension in the box. You can see it in this Unboxing Video from Pioneer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2K7d6yInrmNgcU I recommend to check the vehicle's glove box or center console, or other areas for the USB extension cable. It should have been installed when the vehicle was taken apart to install the new in-dash receiver. If you can't find it, contact your installer and ask where he put it. If the USB extension cable was not installed, ask to have it installed.

My AVH1330NEX was connecting to my iphone 13 with no issues for over two years. All of a sudden the phone connects to the car, charges the phone, but only works on bluetooth mode. Switching it to the USB/iPod input results in nothing. Even on the home screen of the radio, the app CarPlay still shows up but its greyed out. Not sure what to do with this.

[@pioneerelectronics]

1. Please be sure to install the latest iOS updates for your phone. 2. After installing phone update, please be sure to restart your phone. 3. I recommend to press the receiver's microprocessor reset button. You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to press the micro processor reset button. You can find the microprocessor reset button on Pioneer AVH-1330NEX at the top of the hard key panel next to eject. If you press the microprocessor reset button and this behavior persists, I recommend to try a different iPhone cable. Cables can and do fail. Don't get a $1 gas station cable. Get a good quality cable and try again. AVH-1330NEX was manufactured back in 2017. There have been several firmware updates for this product. Please be sure to install the latest firmware for your Pioneer AVH-1330NEX.

Im getting a light static and/or hum when plugging in the phone. It sounds similar to when my phone volume was too when using an auxiliary connection .

[@deckerdotto6035]

Please clarify your question. What is the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver? Are you hearing the sound when you plug in the phone through USB? Is the sound only when using Apple CarPlay or on other sources such as AM/FM radio? Do you hear the sound when using a USB flash drive? Have you tried to a new or different USB cable? You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZbin Channel here: kzbin.info

[@jrnagri]

Does Siri need to be enabled on your iPhone in order for the receiver to utilize Siri or does the receiver have its own independent Siri? In other words if I disable Siri on my iphone will it be disabled on the receiver as well?

[@deckerdotto6035]

On the connected iPhone, Siri needs to be switched on for voice activation to work in Apple CarPlay. If you don't like using Siri, much of Apple CarPlay can be operated by touching the screen and never using voice commands.

AVH-1330NEX, connected to speakers via RCAs (vehicle has existing amp/sub) in Standard mode. Guidance volume has always been too low to be usable (even at full volume for guidance volume, regardless if Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze). This has been a problem through multiple iPhones and iOS versions for a few years. Latest firmware on the radio. No issues with music, Siri, message volume. I've tried playing with all of the radio audio settings to no avail (and there are A LOT). You can hear it (out of front speakers only), but just too low. Thoughts/ideas?

[@pioneerelectronics]

Thank you for the detailed question. Please answer a few more questions to clarify things. When you say the guidance volume is low, are you saying the music does not mute when you hear a guidance command? Or the music is muted or attenuated, and the guidance command volume is still too low? Are you using Maestro RR in this installation? I read that you've installed the latest firmware for the receiver. I'd like to confirm that you have firmware version 18.39 installed. Have you tried to press the receiver's microprocessor reset button? You'll need a paperclip or some other small point to press the microprocessor reset button. You can find the microprocessor reset button on the Pioneer AVH-1330NEX at the top of the hard key panel beside eject. Next, I recommend to do a Restore Settings. You can see this demonstrated in this Pioneer How To video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6tZqyAa5Zobck Please note: When you do a restore settings operation, you'll need to select Standard Mode again when the receiver restarts.

@@pioneerelectronics Just updated a couple days ago to v8.39 (believe you have an extra "1" in your reference. I do have an interface for steering wheel controls - 95% sure it was a Maestro as I recall having to program it (I did this in late 2017 - my kids' car that I now have back again). If I set mute to ON vs. ATT it helps slightly as the music goes totally off, but not really usable. Also, phone call volume isn’t really loud enough to use while driving either. Soooooo. Full reset. CarPlay music can get plenty loud! Guidance is waaaay too quiet. Phone calls although usable with the car off, is too quiet to be useful while driving. Not nearly as quiet as guidance, but far from ever being called loud.

[@pioneerelectronics]

@@cz9h3d Thank you for your detailed response. I think I understand now, and we can solve the issue. I believe this has directly to do with the receiver's --REAR-- RCA outputs in standard mode, being used to send signal to the external amp and subwoofer. Pioneer in-dash receivers output Bluetooth Phone Call audio and navigation instructions to the FRONT speaker outputs and FRONT RCA outputs only. Not to the rear RCA outputs, and not to the rear speaker outputs. The Bluetooth Audio source, or music played from your phone, will play through all outputs, both front and rear. Your in-dash receiver may be installed incorrectly. There is an easy way to test it. Change to the HD Radio Source and tune in any strong radio station. Next, using the receiver's Fader control, fade the audio output all the way to the front. You can see how to use the fader control in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmZl4SortSFjM0 Can you hear music? . If you fade the system all the way to the front and can not hear music, or the music volume is very low, that may mean the in-dash receiver’s FRONT audio outputs are not connected in your system. You may have the receiver's rear RCA outputs connected and operating front speakers in your vehicle. You can see the front / rear / subwoofer RCA outputs on the receiver in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5XFo4RsnbqtrbM If you change the RCA output connection to the receiver's Front RCA Output, you'll be able to hear phone calls, and navigation instructions, etc...

[@cz9h3d]

@@pioneerelectronics Front speaker volumes user fader are super low on HD Radio source - BUT, rears are quite loud when moving to either left or right rear. Fader adjustment is sending signal to the appropriate in-car speaker. If I have RCA's reversed, would I not see the opposite - fader to front speaker would result in sound from the rear?? Or is my OEM amp in the equation helping to create this condition? I'll swap the RCA's just for the heck of it and see what I get!! Note: adjusting the speaker inputs, +db fronts, -db rears, to get music properly distributed or even front heavy - still doesn't get enough volume for guidance...BUT the fader operates the correct speakers, and all are plenty loud for music. ;)

[@pioneerelectronics]

@@cz9h3d Please clarify What you mean here: "Front speaker volumes user fader are super low on HD Radio source" If the receiver is faded all the way to the front and the volume is low on the front speakers, this may be an issue with the OEM amp. It's possible the amp is using only one input and sending that signal to all speakers? Maybe how the gain is set, or how the OEM amp filters out certain frequencies.

[@captmaniac]

How does the Apple change that disables notifications while driving affect the use of CarPlay?

[@deckerdotto6035]

According to my iPhone under "Do Not Disturb" and then "Do Not Disturb While Driving" > Learn More... "If your car supports CarPlay and your iPhone is connected, Do Not Disturb while driving isn't activated. Instead, CarPlay uses your car's built-in display to help you stay focused on the road."

@@stacyedwards6851 Please take a few moments to read this full response. I'll try to clarify the difference between Apple CarPlay wireless, and using the in-dash receiver for wireless Bluetooth Phone calls and wireless streaming audio. The Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX connects with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a wired connection through USB. I'm not aware of a way to connect DMH-C5500NEX to Apple CarPlay wireless. Just to be clear, the Apple CarPlay connection for DMH-C5500NEX must be through USB. However, if you want to connect your phone through Bluetooth for hands free phone calls and wireless streaming audio only, that can be done through Bluetooth without using a wired connection.

Install the latest firmware for your Pioneer in-dash receiver. I can't give you a link to the latest firmware, cause I don't know what receiver you have. 4. Use the cable that came with your phone and plug directly into the back of the receiver. If that does not work, try a different cable. Not all phone cables are the same. A cheap cable may charge your phone but it will not allow data to pass through. 5. If you get it to work with the cable plugged directly into the receiver, then try the extension cable.

This video is linked from Pioneer (www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/NEX/DMH-WC6600NEX#videos) as "How To - Apple CarPlay Wireless Setup-Nex" which is exactly what I am trying to figure out. But, the video doesn't come near addressing the subject of the video produced by Pioneer. More complete, helpful, step-by-step instructions would be helpful. The user manual has you jump around from different sections, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, WiFi Settings without much detailed information. What are the requirements for WIRELESS CarPlay? What Wi-Fi network requirements are needed? Use of the "infrastructure" network? Using my iPhone as a Hot Spot (provided by my carrier)? Or, does the thing need to connect to my home network? It works while directly connected, which is only half of the battle!

The video provided is better instruction overall. But, so far hasn’t solved the issue. Wired CarPlay works. Wireless CarPlay doesn’t work.

One more thing…Please provide step by step instructions for each connection type. For example, Apple CarPlay Wireless AND Wired, but without mixing in instructions for other connection types (such as Alexa or Android). If these instructions are provided separately, then it will reduce confusion. ALSO - What wireless network is preferred or recommended? Do I use the Wi-Fi network the Pioneer head unit creates? Etc.
