I did something similar to an 880PRS and I can eject my CD but it was a bit of work. 1) Did you keep the movable face backplate in place? Is it still going up and down? If so, then I don't know what your issue is except to think that you haven't properly kept the eject wire/pin hooked up. 2)...

I'm using an XM Terk adapter with an 880PRS. It works. You need to make sure you get the latest version of the Terk adapter. They did NOT change part #s for some reason. The first terk adapter I had would not store presets. Then I switched it, noticed a different letter sticker on the terk...

I'm confused as to what you're asking. Are you suggesting taking another aftermarket non-touchscreen double-din unit and gutting it to fill with the 880PRS? Or are you suggesting a double din touchscreen? Or did you mean using a double din display module instead of the smaller 880PRS display...

Wow. I 'mostly' finished my install and came here to post and found this post instead! That's my install and thanks for all the nice comments! I posted an update with more pics and with links to my sub enclosure post, etc. My custom XC90 install Only issue still outstanding is that my AutoEQ...

Thanks. I found those last night shortly after posting. I can read just fine, I just don't read every single detail of a post all over again every single time I come back here. There was another test tone sticky thread that I was in the other day when I was setting my gains that pointed to a...

Does this make sense? Head Unit- Pioneer 880PRS - 5v outs On my alpine MRP-F250 (4ch mode) (4v max), the instructions state (like all instructions) to start out with the gains set to min (CCW). They say min is 4v. The amp is labeled 3/4 of the way to max as .5v. So I'm assuming max is .1v...

Yes. I'm using normal mode. All four corners work. Front and Rear are going into an Alpine MRP-F250 4CH and the subs are going into an MTX TC3001. I can see and hear it testing the front left first and then the front right. Then it comes back with front error. BTW, after a successful auto-eq...

My system tells me error front speakers. I wonder if my gains are too low? I'm not being too aggressive in my gains so the system is not painfully loud at full volume. My amps are buried in the back so it's not that easy to play with the gains. How loud does it get when it's doing the test? I...

I just got a CD-IB100 (not the II) as bestbuy had it for only $79. I hooked up a video ipod and overall it works well but it's not that fast. One can easily turn the dial to fast and it takes sometimes upto what seems like 2 full seconds before it draws. You start turning the dial to fast and...

Is there any other difference between these two units besides the bigger plug on the new model? I read a recent review of the CD-IB100II with a Z1 (not favorable). Will a 2006 deck still work the same regardless of which one you get?

I'm reading through the manual (I took the plunge and ordered one off ebay) and in the Ipod section, it seems there's no mode for displaying artist-song title-play time. Is that so?

Has anybody here gotten theirs from ebay? (I'm not worried about the warranty) I was researching some sellers and I see completed sales going back over 10 days ago but I don't see one single feedback (+ or -) from any buyers that they actually got theirs.

How does the 880PRS face attach to the head unit? I'm actually contemplating a more complex install where I want to mount the face in a different spot from the actual head unit. So I'd need to trick the head into still working. How many pins are on the plug? Are they very small and close...

I too originally was thinking of a 9857. Do you have FULL control of the 701? I've read that only the touch screens provide full control. I finally got a respond from pioneer about bluetooth. It's supported starting with the 3800.

Nothing wrong with that IMO. WIth FM, one would be hard pressed to find that many stations they like. But with sat radio getting more popular and manufacturers dropping the direct preset buttons from their faceplates, this notion of 6 presets per group is getting outdated. I have a few dozen...
