Just curious
 

I'm thinking Pioneer AVH-P3300BT Double Din DVD/CD with a bunch of front inputs

Does anybody have any experience with this unit or similar?

Re: Just curious
 

That is the exact unit I have I like it.

This picture the radio is on, this deck gets information from the radio station about song and artist.

And another thing you may be interested to know it will browse and play your Ipod-Iphone songs without the special order ipod controller. Just plugged my usb cable in and it worked perfectly.
Also You need some sort of kit I think mine is a relay, so the deck thinks the e-brake is on.

Now the whole world knows you listen to britney spears :p

Re: Just curious
 

Why do you think I made a special reference to the radio being on, the information is from 97.9 radio station.:p:lol:

Re: Just curious
 

FIXED

7890

:lol: Oh well every station tries to out do the others on the latest crap to hit the airwaves.

Re: Just curious
 

Absolutely outstanding, looks great too

Don't know if I'm all that interested in watching video while I drive. I like that I can plug all my gadegts into the front. I've already played with one at Best Buy and was absolutely impressed by the stuff I could do with my IPod Touch.

Many thanx, thats the nod I needed to get it ordred on E-Bay

Re: Just curious
 

I have that unit in one of my SVXs as well. Great unit, love it. The only complaint I have is that, unless I am missing something, power goes to the antenna when any source is selected even if you aren't listening to the radio. I hardly ever listen to the radio but the power antenna goes up every time I use the unit :mad:. I think I am going to have to somehow put an external antenna switch on it to prevent this. If I am missing something please let me know!

Re: Just curious
 

That would make sense.

Mine has an older after market piece of turd in it now. The antenna goes up the moment you turn it on. Doesn't matter whether a cassette or CD is in play.

I suppose it just works that way and even though I too rarely listen to the radio, I think I can live with it

Re: Just curious
 

I installed a switch inline with the power antenna wire and put it through the top of the coin holder. If I ever desire to listen to the radio I can put it up.

Re: Just curious
 

I like that the title of this thread is "just curious" and you have a man listening to brittany spears. Whose curious now? :lol:

Re: Just curious
 

It appears because of the talented and drug adled Miss Spears, the curiousity grows

Who knew?

Re: Just curious
 

It is not just for when you drive, these cars do not have a park brake wire, and this unit does not use the ground of the older units. Besides that if you use the blue tooth phone the on screen number pad is unavailable unless the unit thinks your parked with the brake on.
It will come on if you get a phone call and using blue tooth too. it seems funny when you have source off and a call comes in the antenna goes up. I put a switch in mine because most of the time I listen to the sd card and there is no reason to have the antenna up.http://localserver.no-ip.biz/Public/SVX%20Radio.jpg
You can see the blue switch tucked under the edge of the center console.

Exactly. I have my ecutune agressive settings switch through the top of the coin holder so I couldnt use that placement for the antenna.
More pictures I just took so its plenty of daylight.

Another thing to note I am not running a amp or subs but the options for that are very good. I am running a sat radio input through the rear inputs.

Re: Just curious
 

Ok....so just that I have this straight, cause the Bluetooth is important to me, I'm in sales and spend 60% of my day on the road.

Thing won't recognize when its parked so you will never be completely compatable with the Bluetooth or play video unless you install the special adapter?

Or

Its will only work properly with my Bluetooth and play video when I am parked?

And, where does one buy the devise that makes everything work as it should?

Re: Just curious
 

First, it will do blue tooth perfectly, though you need to do "voice dial" or use the handset for dialing if your not "parked" or so they seem to imply. The on screen, the number pad will not work if it thinks your "moving".
I believe the "correct" adapter can be gotten from any stereo place. However I believe the adapter is just a relay. My installer only installed a relay and most of the functionality is there. I have only a couple never used options that tell me I can not use them as im not "parked" Those options are auto eq setup and if I remember correctly a screen calibration tool. Of note though I have never had any trouble with the screen calibration and all manual EQ settings work fine.
