[QUOTE="mutatio, post: 8729124, member: 681859"] First post! Woot! With that out of the way, down to business. 😁 I’ve picked up a couple of these units and have been having some issues with wireless CarPlay. I have the latest firmware in them, 1.30, but I’m finding that after using the HD radio tuner for a while, despite CarPlay having initiated successfully upon booting, when trying to switch to CarPlay, I get a black screen. It sometimes resolves itself and connects in say 15 seconds or so but other times it seems like it would go on indefinitely (having waited at least 3 minutes for it to kick in before returning to the Home Screen). I’ve done the usual troubleshooting efforts like rebooting the phone, un-pairing and re-pairing for CarPlay, and resetting the receiver to factory defaults and no luck. I still get the occasional black screen when moving from the regular interface to CarPlay. Anyone else seeing issues like this on the 4660 or it’s bigger siblings, the 7600 and 8600NEX units? If so, any solutions? The receiver I’ve also picked up to weigh my options is the Kenwood DMX907S. There are trade offs. I like the tactile buttons to rely on while driving and I’m not seeing anything in the way of the wireless CarPlay problems (also tested some of the same use patterns to try and determine if it was a CarPlay/phone glitch), though I prefer Pioneer’s cleaner and more intuitive radio layout (really Kenwood, you put the list of stations on the right side of the radio UI?). The user interface on the Pioneer also has some hiccups and lagginess, but the wireless CarPlay not being reliable is my main beef with it in terms of considering keeping the units. Thoughts, anyone?
