<3 my new HU

i dont think it hooks up to anything on the pioneer side. when you're ready to solder the harnesses together, just follow the pinouts in the owner's manual and the scosche/metra harness. i rarely use all the wires on the hareness. just tape it up.



so i did some BT testing on my 2500BT yesterday in my dd to see if i can get voice directions off my android phone GoogleNav to sound through the car speakers. as long as i have the streaming BT audio turned on (pioneer side), it works.

but i can't run anyother audio in the background, so there is a limitation.
for me, i dont use nav all that much so this is fine. as long as i can still use it when i really need it is what i counts. if needed i can turn BT off and just use the nav off the phone, and pioneer for stereo completely separately.

I cant wait to get bluetooth into the car, sick of using the stupid AUX cable. I ended up ordering the radio from Crutchfield for $425, added a ASWC control for $50 from Amazon. I hope I have everything I need, don't want to spend anymore money on a stupid radio. I will use velcro to fill the gap then, thanks

I'm sick of the Aux cable too, but I have to wait and pay off my exhaust first before I can think of buying anything else.

I guess I should pay off my iPhone first too... that was expensive as hell.

Gotta start saving again.

Just charge it, the government does it

Haboob

I like my 800 though.

Errr the only thing I would really charge is the Stillen SC

The Pioneer manual lists the blue/white wire as:

Connect to system control terminal of the power amp or auto-antenna relay control terminal (max 300 mA 12 V DC)

Im thinking that the blue wire from the vehicle side adapter harness provides vehicle side power for the antenna maybe? Confusing!

yah, just wire up that blue/white wire to your antenna adapter harness blue wire and the bypass module for the e-brake.

the blue wire from the scoche to the antenna adapter blue wire provided no power on my install.... so you can measure it with a volt meter if you want, but chances are, your antenna booster will not get the 12v it needs to make FM work.

kenchan

btw, if you do any tests, makes sure you plug that SRS off indicator thing for the passenger seat before you power on the car. otherwise you might get a SRS error light.

LostSol

ok so just ignore the blue adapter harness wire then. got it.

Install complete! Everything works great except the Bluetooth buttons, can't get them to work even with manual programming. Unfortunately I started the car without the hvac connected and now I've got a Service Engine Soon light! I gotta find out how to get rid of it.

Thanks for all the help!!

Close from finishing mine, just have to wire the aswc and the ground cable in. I did forget to order the stupid parking brake bypass, so I might have to do wiring again next week when the part gets in. ARGGG
