Using ipod as the source. I wonder if yours works different with an iphone..

This is my first bluetooth HU so bear with me. The only way I can get my Google maps or Waze to talk to me over the car audio is if my Pioneer PRS80 is set to Bluetooth input. 99% of the time I'm listening to a USB or Ipod source. I found an app that forces the phone to send that audio over...

Just got my 80PRS today. Need help if I got a returned unit, or just poor quality control from Pioneer. My faceplate has some scratches or cracks around the aux jack, and around the up/down buttons by the screen. The kind of look like stress cracks from drilling the holes in the clear...

Okay, got one ordered. Hopefully Amazon doesn't give me too much grief returning this Kenwood.

Thanks for the replies. No matter how much I search I keep coming back to the 80prs. I've read a few reports of RCA whine with it, but they were mostly from 2013 when it first came out. Do we think they fixed it in the more recent models? I've been out of car audio for awhile now, it's sad...

I've always mostly had Pioneers. I'm a big fan of them. But I'm sick of RCA pico fuse issues. I'm replacing a DEH-P7800MP and I'm really gonna miss the multiline screen and menu system. I bought a Kenwood KDX-X998, but I think it's going back. The menus are so clunky and slow to navigate...

Trying to find someone near the Pittsburgh, PA to build me a new box for my car. I've got a single IA. L.I. 12" in a tiny sealed box I built myself. But maximizing trunk space and complex builds are over my head.

Everyone has such an Alpine boner anymore. Yes Alpine has nice ipod control, but compared to the Pioneer 5100 I just picked up, the Pioneer is better. (Keep in mind the Alpine with work with 4g and older Ipods, where more USB based decks are 5g and newer only)

I've got a 9884 now. The only thing I like about it is the ipod controls. The 9886 is basically the same deck but with a nicer screen, it still lacks a HPF crossover, hi volt preouts, and decent LPF controls. You need to go with the 9887 for a decent deck in that lineup, but even after...

The title caught my eye. What's this massive bass engine going in?

Thanks for the obvious answer. I'm pretty sure the solution was to ground the shields of the cables at the deck, whatever it was, it was very simple and cheap protection just in case...

Since the search function ***** and only is showing pre-2007 posts I have to ask... I'm about to buy a new pioneer deck, but I recall someone came up with a way to prevent you from accidently blowing the pico-fuse for the RCA's. I can't remember what it was, was it just building an adapter and...

Very interested pending pics. PM sent

I'm looking at this unit, havn't had a chance to play with one in a store yet. Can anyone confirm how it handles file structure on USB drives? Can they handle nested folders? Something like how the newer Pioneers do.. If you look at my usb stick, I have a few folders called Rap, Rock, Metal...

Is the HU bent too or just the mounting cage?
