    Car radio used in a porch??

    Pioneer AHV-X2500BT. I just happen to be looking for one in case ours is fried (not it's fault). $200 on eBay and bit more elsewhere. It's a discontinued (superseded really) unit, but is loaded with great features. Available new in box or as factory refurbished still. Stream music via...

    Troubleshooting Pioneer AVH -X2500BT (only function is back-up cam)

    Messing with my girl's AVH-X2500BT last night resulted in greater problems. Originally went into it to resolve lack of back-up camera when reverse was selected. I noticed one back-up lamp was out, so I assumed a correlation. Not so, it was simply not selected "on" in the menu. After...

    Baffles Behind my 6.5" Boat Speakers - Sound Impact?

    I'm putting four Pioneer TS-A1675R 6.5" speakers in my boat. The rears will be mounted in a compartment that could also have some gear placed in it. I'm considering some foam or plastic baffles to protect the back side. Realistically, I'll try to keep these compartments empty for best sounds...

    Ultra Budget Boat System - 6.5 Speaker Choice?

    So I am putting together a very basic boat system with what I have in my garage, eBay and Craigslist. Cheap just because of weather/theft possibility and just because it's a seasonal boat. Everything except some full-range speakers is pretty much set. I'm looking to power four 6 1/2"...

    Trying to match a Prius?

    If you want some recent experience based on advice from a "value" car audio guy, here it is. I assume you are scrapping the Kenwood due to lack of features, maybe it's a few years old. Like you, I wanted better sound and modern features, the most important being hands-free phone calls in...

    Back Up Camera Recommendation

    I need a B/U camera to work with my new Pioneer AVH-X2500 BT. I have two cars with cams already - a Lexus factory unit, and an aftermarket no-name that I assume is cheap and made in China. They are equally decent in the day time, but the Lexus does better at night. But the cheapie is good...

    Toyota Avalon - Dash Light Dim Interface with Pioneer Deck

    Hey Guys, I'm putting a Pioneer AVH-X2500BT double DIN DVD Receiver in my daughter's 2001 Toyota Avalon. I'm using a Metra dash kit w/ Crutchfield integration adapter that will retain the factory JBL sound system amplifier. Clearly, the factory unit dimmed in unison with all dash lighting...

    2001 Dodge Caravan/Chrysler T&C Speaker Choices

    I'm brand new to the forum. Thanks in advance for all I learn here. Looks like a great community. So I just got a FREE 2001 Chrysler Town & Country, much to my wife's horror. Neither of us dig the minivan image, but car pool for kids' school next year makes it a good thing. It's a "use...
