Over-the-Air Firmware Updates

Over-the-Air updates will provide your Pioneer in-dash receiver with the latest up to date firmware and feature updates using the CarAVAssist app. Enjoy the convenience of wireless updates while eliminating the hassle of transferring data files through a USB thumb drive. The CarAVAsssist app is free to download for both iPhone and Android devices.

Apple® CarPlay Split-Screen Support

If you’ve ever wanted to control two apps simultaneously when using Apple® CarPlay, get excited for Pioneer’s first feature-driven “over the air” software update, highlighting split-screen mode for select NEX in-dash receivers.*

Apple® CarPlay can do a lot more than just deliver driving directions. Split-screen mode enables you to simultaneously display and control both the Apple® CarPlay UI and the receiver’s menu for your secondary source at the same time, on one screen. This function is useful when you want to access your music content (i.e., HD Radio or USB) while navigating through Apple® CarPlay, without having to toggle back and forth.

Pioneer’s intuitive split-screen mode also allows different configurations you can switch between by tapping the switch key icon. Display your current or last app in full screen, view several apps in split-screen mode, customizable widget sizes for easy viewing, or view the home screen with access to all your apps.

Split-screen mode allows seamless operation for various function on the same screen to personalize features and customize menu settings. The NEX in-dash receiver when interfaced with a Metra Axxess or iDataLink® Maestro™ RR/RR2 module (sold separately) offers smart vehicle integration solutions to retain and control settings that would otherwise be lost after replacing the factory head unit, including HVAC functions, audio controls on the steering wheel, gauges, heated/cooled seats, visual parking assistance, and more, without fully exiting the Apple® CarPlay UI.

* Upgrading to the newest version firmware on your device is required for Apple® CarPlay split-screen support on 10.1” & 9” models only (In USA & Canada: DMH-WT8600NEX, DMH-WT7600NEX, DMH-WT86NEX, DMH-WT76NEX, DMH-WC6600NEX).
