Did you mean the trigger wire only and/or the power source wire?

You could use a Haynes manual or a Youtube instructional video to find an alternate source for your reverse wire.

You just need to find the right colored wire that is connected to one of your reverse lights.

I have my power wire connected to a constant power source, which allows me to turn on the reverse camera even when I do not have the car in reverse.

I just bought the maps for the 8200. Everything installed smoothly. The only issue is that the "copy script" screen won't start automatically unless you tap the screen to get it going.

Backup cameras have a wire for the turn on signal and a wire for the power. Both need to be connected to the radio. However, you could splice them together at the light's wiring harness because the radio will separate the signal and power.

You can't do that with a wiring situation where the parking lights are turned on, on the ground side.This was my situation, and fortunately, Pioneer has the option in its menu to take a hot signal from the ground wire. I had to run two separate wires for the power and turn on signal.

If Pioneer didn't offer this, you would have to add some kind of relay to reverse the polarity of the signal back to the head unit. This would make a simple install job a big PITA.

Try reinstalling the latest firmware on top of the current one.

This can fix many problems.

Try reloading the firmware.

These units appear to be flexible with bad firmware installs. Try uploading the proper firmware to your unit.

It worked for me after my navigation features were eliminated due to some kind of glitch.

I tried the Pioneer mic and a cheap Radio Shack powered mic. The Radio Shack mic produced a much better result.

You only need a USB extension cord from the back of the 8200 unit and your plain old white Apple cord from the extension to the iPod Classic.

Or, just get a longer 30 pin cord from Amazon and you won't need an extension.

You definitely don't need to buy their cord.

In case someone does a search on this problem, I can confirm that a firmware reload will resolve the missing navigation maps and menu problem.

Hello,

I am having the exact same problem with my 8200.

What did you update? The firmware or the navigation maps?

Thanks.

Always keep a multi-meter nearby to test continuity on the wires.

I couldn't figure out why one of my speakers wasn't working.

I used a multi-meter to trace the problem back to a loose wire in a harness that had pulled out of the adapter.

My 7th generation iPod Classic 160 GB does resume the song it was playing on the 8200 whenever I switch sources or restart the car. I always leave it permanently attached to the USB extension.

However, the issue I am having is that the iPod always shuts off at around the 45th song played.

I am using the shuffle play option on 16,000 songs and it is attached to USB2.

The iPod does not seem to recharge on this port and it seems to be a battery issue since it displays the "recharge" message after it shuts off.

I will try the first USB port and a different cable.

I didn't see this firmware update for the 8200 on Pioneer's site. Is it genuine?

Only 1.01 is available.

Has anyone installed 1.02 yet?

Your iPod is rebooting each time you give it power.

Clean up the tags in your collection and turn off all signal processing on the iPod (EQ and Sound Check).

So, Auto EQ creates its own settings that are not based on what the EQ was manually set to before the procedure?

Or, do I need to set the EQ to my taste before the Auto EQ is performed?

Does it matter?

I would like to fine tune the EQ after the procedure.

I have too many POIs on my NEX-8200 navigation screen.

How can I remove them?

Never mind, I see that they are called "place markers" in the menu.

I installed a compact Kicker 11HS8 150 watt subwoofer with my new 8200 unit.

The subwoofer is self-powered and connected to the h/u, and I also have a separate amp that is powering the four speakers.

However, the subwoofer is very under-powered, even after I set the filters correctly.

I have to lower the speakers to -24db and raise the subwoofer to 10db just to get it to marginal levels.

Is there anything else to try, or is this subwoofer just too under-powered?

If Im correct there should be a double sided square piece/pad of tape. Mine was installed on the dash inside the car.

Yes, they included it. I ended up just attaching a small magnet to the antenna and installed everything on a metal bracket on the inside part of the dash.

Hello,

I just purchased an 8200NEX, and I am installing it myself. I got to the part where I am supposed to install the GPS antenna.

However, the antenna base is not magnetic. Is this a faulty part or is this common now with the newer units?

Thanks.
