Apple Carplay/Pioneer sph-da120 Problems

I'm experiencing the same issue with iOS 9.3.2 on my iPhone 6S Plus and my SPH-DA120 running firmware 1.11. When it happens and I try hot plugging the iPhone, even after a hard reset, I continue getting the dreaded Error-02-60. Turning off the care and rebooting the head unit does not consistently get everything to reconnect. The strange thing is that when CarPlay disconnects, my lighting cable continues to charge the phone, but all data connection seems to be ignored by the head unit allowing me to switch to bluetooth audio to at least get my iPhone audio to go thru the head unit. This leads me to believe that there is a USB communication error with the head unit, but I haven't had a chance to try swapping out the lightning cable yet. This is making me think that it's a firmware issue with the head unit and not an issue with the cable or iPhone.

Are most of you plugging your lightning cables directly into USB 1 on the head unit, or using the extension cable to relocate the port to a more convenient location?

I was about to ditch the unit out of frustration - then found your post. Works perfect now, thanks

I have now solved my issue: Turns out it was the Belkin Lightning-cable I was using. That cable seems totally fine elsewhere but on the SPH-DA120 provokes these spontaneous disconnections disabling the USB inputs.

I've now plugged in an old and ugly Apple cable and that has been working for 2 weeks now without a hitch

I have had this issue with old firmware, other cables, extension cable, and latest firmware (1.11) with the apple cable directly plugged into USB1. Usually hot plugging the phone solves the connection issue. Interestingly, sometimes my 6S will totally lock up for a minute after turning off the car and unplugging the phone. Other times, podcasts will start playing out of the blue a few seconds after I unplug. I don't usually notice because I have the volume turned low. My friend with a new VW and carplay, does not have this issue.

Hi i have issues with Maps since iOS 10

It worked fine In my pioneer sph da 120 firmware 1.11 until i upgraded to iOS 10

Although i see directions On The iPhone , in the radio screen i dont get any, it get stuck in calculating the route . Have the issue with iPhone 6 and my new iPhone 7

Please help!

I still have the same issues after a year of firmware updates, iOS updates, I even have a brand new iPhone cable installed directly into USB 1. I have reset the headunit, I have reset my phone. Spotify drops, Pandora drops, podcasts drop, music drops, maps actually stay connected. Sometimes it resets itself, sometimes I have to restart the car, sometime hot-plugging the phone works. It is simply unstable. Pioneer wants me to pull the headunit and mail it in. So...I will just have a hole in the dash for a month. Most-likely I will just put the phone through the screen of the App Radio 4 and need a new phone and radio.

Is anybody actually looking into this? Or are we just shouting into the dark?

The Pioneer SPH-DA120 definitely is unstable. About 1-3 times a month if have to hot-plug my iPhone or restart the whole unit by turning my car off and on again. In the last few weeks the music started to stop from time to time, I assume it's because the touchscreen is so low-quality triggering some events from time to time.

If I ever bought a CarPlay unit, I'd give the other manufacturers a try. The headunit from Alpine costs around the same and seems to be much smaller.
