Sony 9500es gps

SiriusXM works so all pulgs are in right ,but my GPS does not..do I have to load google maps to the unit to get gps to work??

 

The sony 9500es does not have built-in gps

It works with your phone only. , apple carplay or android auto
If your phone is connected is should be working

 

Thanks. Called support an said that also .Hopefully get truck back today,other mods getting done .

 

Waiting on truck so 10 youtube videos later an no help o. This. ???? How do you listen/ to music an have maps displayed on radio at same time .??? Thanks

 

It just will

You will get the hang of it once you have it in front of you

 

Thanks

 

If you have music playing on say Spotify for example, and a route on Google Maps, clicking this split screen button in the corner:



should make the screen split and look similar to this:



This is only for reference/I grabbed a screenshot from google but it looks more or less the same as my 9000ES/the carplay split screen looks about the same on any head unit, looks about the same on my wife's CX-5 head unit.

 

Thanks you got ttruck back .all seem to be working.

 

Now what!! Lol got most of it understood, however with all wires connected an radio install the USB is not working/ connecting! Tried to up load file pictures off a thumb drive an radio screen says USB not connect! ill try hooking phone up later but if anyone has solve this problem chime in !!!

 

Nope usb dead.

 

Make sure you change the input to usb on the headunit

I thought the same thing on my jvcz1000

 

Thanks.. though i did but will try again..

 

Nope dead .wondering if a radio reboot might fix it.

 

Restart headunit

If need be pull the headunit and connect directly to the usb at the 9500 with a usb extension csble. This will check to see if there is an issue from the headunit to the factory usb connection plug

It is probably a connection issue. Odds are low that the usb is not working on a new headunit

 

Ok so they only sent me on of these cables .they are now sending one .So does this just plug into the ubs-a that is on my 19 tundra dash by cigarette lighter . If so after hooking up what do I use to make sure it works. Phone or what else. Will it show Phone charging? Hate to put together again an find out it's not working. Thanks

 

The small end (USB-C) will plug into the back of your new Sony head unit, and the other end will connect to what is likely a loose plug behind the stereo. The loose plug is what feeds to your USB in the dash. The bad/annoying news is you or your installer will have to pull the head unit back out to get it plugged in.

 

Thanks. So how do I know it works. Before reinstall?

 

I'd just plug your phone into the USB port before you button everything back up and see if it's charging and/or if the head unit recognizes it.

 

Thank you soooo much...

 

This is the back of the 9000ES that I have but 9500ES should be the same, USB will plug in back here:
other end will plug into the only USB slot/cord it fits with. To be cautious I'd disconnect your battery negative before pulling the radio, wire it up, set the radio back in but don't bolt it in, reconnect your battery negative and start the truck, and then plug your phone into the USB data port


The other two USB slots are charging only so be sure to plug into the correct one.

 

Thanks they r sending me 2new cables. Hopefully that's the problem
