What cables do I need for CarPlay?

Now that the CarPlay firmware has been released, I'd like to buy the necessary cables to get it working. Does anyone know which cables I need to get everything working?

I currently have the Pioneer AVH-4000NEX in my truck. I also have the MirrorLink cables that came with the stereo already installed. I just need to know which Apple cables/adapters to buy for my iPhone 6 to finalize everything.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Maybe you have already answered your own question...

I also have the 4000NEX and upgraded to CarPlay yesterday as well. All you need is a standard USB to Lightning cable and connect it to the USB1 connection on the back of the unit. My installer, like most, have a cable coming out from the back of my unit that I can plug directly into. Very easy!

You don't need all the extra cabling that was required to use the AppRadio part of the NEX.
