Recently completed the upgrade from the Harmon 5" to the Panasonic 8.4"
Android Auto works flawlessly.
Apple Carplay will not.

Thought it may be a FW/SW issue but nothing I've read through states others having this iissue. INCLUDED PHOTOS just in case.
Have tried all basics I can think of or have read others experiencing connection issues with apple products.

Open to ideas!

Are you using a Apple data cord? Apple hardware and software are notorious for not working unless oem parts are used.

Sounds like wrong parts... Where did you get your 8.4 upgrade/conversion harness from?

Edit: part numbers are good.

I am using the one the phone came with. However I just picked up a new lightning cable today and plan to try that when I get home.

Tried the new cable today and no luck. Did get the USB to show "iPod" but no changes.

The harnesses and bezel cam from infotainment through radio was pulled from the same truck as the media hub.

You should call Infotainment and RMA that harness. You have the right radio, software and USB hub. They have been known to put out a stinker on occasion. Once you have a new harness post back with the results.
