I am sure there are lots of discussions on this topic of a high pitched noise coming from the speakers. I read some and couldn't find an answer that helped me. I don't believe this is engine noise because the noise hasn't always been there. I used to run a rockford fosgate 4 channel prime amp...

Oooo I do see it on Amazon now. How do you feel about the 391bhs or 491bhs, which I think are the same but one has the bigger screen. I believe those are the newer models to the 2800bs. They cost more than the 2800bs if I bought from Amazon, but it doesn't come out to be too much of a price...

Is there a newer model of the 2800bs? Most places are saying that it is no longer available. Could you recommend a different model that i can purchase from Amazon or Crutchfield? I don't have any car audio stores near me besides Best buy, which also does not carry the 2800bs.

Yes, you did link me that one and it's definitely my top choice right now. Pioneers method of naming these devices is kind of confusing. I am trying to get an understanding of their pricing and model naming vs their differences if that makes sense. Also, nobody around me carries the 2800bs. I...

Kind of, i would like to stay under 300. I just dont want to pay for things i dont need. such as HD radio or apple car play (since i dont use apple devices).

Could someone help me choose a new head unit? I am leaning towards Pioneer just because people seem to have the best performance with that brand from what I've been hearing and seeing online. It's going into a 2011 corolla, so double-din. I would like for it to have most, if not all of the...

Yeah I'm sold. Thanks guys. I'll be shopping for a new HU now and sending back the converter. Just need to find a good one that let's me add SWI. That's been difficult without going up to a touch screen model.

My issue with changing the head unit was actually with the microphone for Bluetooth. I currently have the 2nd tier stereo option that Toyota offers. It's better than the base, but it's not a full screen with GPS and all that. It's in the middle and it adds the Bluetooth functionality. I was told...

This is exactly what I was aiming to do initially, but after adding in the idatalink for the stearing wheel controls and whatever else I will need, it was just come out to be crazy expensive. I mean, I know you get what you pay for. But we're talking $120 that I paid for the AudioControl, versus...

This is a good thought, but a bit out of my price range. I'm not really looking for anything extreme but i also didn't want one of those cheap LOC's either. That's why I picked the AudioControl one, because it was kind of the middle ground. Is there another device within that $100-150 price...

Yes it's all been wired properly and I am getting power. I know this for sure because I am using the gto system to tell my amps to turn on and they do turn on and off as they should. Therefore, the gto is not switched to defeat.

The point, though, is to keep my stock head unit to maintain the stock look. Any other advice you can offer? Perhaps a different method in which I can maintain my stock head unit without using an AudioControl LOC?

Okay so here's my setup... 2011 Toyota Corolla. I started with everything stock and base. No pre-existing factory amplifiers or fancy stereo. Using Factory stereo to 6 channel Line Out Converter (AudioControl LC7i). Then from the LOC to 4 channel Amp (Rockford Fosgate R400-4D) and Mono...
