  1. My vintage iPod just died and thinking to upgrade it with an old iPhone. Found a bunch of these adapters, but they all say they're not compatible with CD-IB100II. Anyone know the technical reason why? Should just be stepping down 12V to 5V and sending the output to different pins.
  2. Anyone tried an SDXC or MicroSDXC card in an SDXC-to-IDE adapter?
  3. Just curious if anyone has any detailed pics of the screen itself with the Pioneer board removed? I occasionally find these with cracked screens and replacements are prohibitively expensive through Pioneer. I wonder if these screens were manufactured by a different company (Sharp, AUO, LG, etc).
  4. Does there exist a double-DIN head unit that mirrors Android with touch control? Maybe something with HDMI input and a USB touch output that puts the Android video output directly on the display. I think I understand AppRadio and I think that's not what I'm looking for. I don't think MirrorLink is what I'm looking for either. I want to plug an Android stick directly into the stereo and display the Android stick's video output unmodified. Easy enough with any HU that has A/V inputs, BUT I want to control it via touch using the HU itself. Here's an example of what I'm wanting:
  5. Unfortunately, I don't remember that either. I'm pretty sure someone posted the info in the CNDV-90MT thread. I tried to find it, but the search function here sucks. I was able to find references to it in Google, but they don't work because they point to links from the old forum software. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the info is buried deep in this 42-page thread somewhere: http://avic411.com/index.php?showtopic=24250 Any memory card in a PCMCIA adapter will work. I got a cheap Chinese SDHC to PCMCIA adapter from eBay and every card I put in it works fine, including MicroSD in an adapter.
  6. No, it won't read many files off the memory card. I don't remember it being able to read any of the maps off of it, just a few other files. Enough to get it to boot a newer disc from a D1/D2 (CNDV-80 and CNDV-90 which lack the 80DVD code). The firmware needs to be hacked to read the rest of the files off the SD card. A smart hacker could probably figure out what to change, but unfortunately, I'm not that smart. You also can't combine both discs, because it has identical filenames on both. You'd have to somehow disassemble and reassemble the .kwi files as a combined map. All I know ab
  7. I may have posted more detail here at some point, maybe in one of the CNDV-90DVD threads a year ago, but I've slept a lot since then and can't remember. If you find out anything, please share. I'm still using the AVIC-80DVD.
  8. Thanks for the info! Being able to play .avi or DVD without conversion would be the main reason I'd want to upgrade my HU, so if the Z110BT doesn't do it, I'm not disappointed that I missed the great deals that were going around earlier in the Spring. WD TV Mini runs on 12V so no AC/DC converter or cig lighter necessary. I used an old universal radar detector hard-wire kit and a fuse adapter. I have the WD TV Mini plugged into a fuse that comes on with ACC power, same as the HU. It's currently just sitting in the glovebox, only drawback so far is I have to open the glovebox to use the rem
  9. I don't know if it would work, but you could always try one of the old Pioneers, AVIC-8DVD or AVIC-9DVD. They use the same connection. They're DVD-based, but not too bad. Navi features are equivalent to an AVIC-D2. Latest official maps were 2008, but it's possible to make a hybrid disc with 2009 maps from the D2. Someone on the forum once said it wouldn't work, but I'm not sure how an aftermarket unit can work with all these HUs using one protocol while a genuine Pioneer couldn't.
  10. Yes, that product does claim to be compatible. I have no experience with it myself.
  11. Usted tendrá que desbloquear la primera unidad. http://www.hddunlock.com/
  12. felixgun - thanks for the reply, but what I meant was, can the Z110BT play .avi files straight from torrents without conversion? Just copy to SD, stick it in, and it plays? And by DVD Menu support, what I mean is can I rip a DVD into AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS, then copy those files to SD card, and the Z110BT can play them with full navigation of the DVD menu? With my current setup, I have a WD TV Mini connected to A/V inputs and I control it using its IR remote. It's not entirely convenient, but the WD TV Mini will play DivX and Xvid .avi files right from torrents without any kind of con
  13. No longer available from al-eds. Who will cartoys PM to in order to get the $891 price?
  14. I was browsing Youtube and found a guy with an AVH-P6850DVD (European version of the AVH-P6800DVD) who had somehow managed to connect some kind of aftermarket navigation unit which had a really ugly UI, however, it was FULLY CONTROLLED by the HU, front panel buttons, touchscreen, and all. I wondered how he did it, so I found this: http://car-solutions.com/Pioneer-Cable- ... CS9100.php Although the product itself isn't of interest, it seems to imply that the following head units use the same navigation control protocol. * AVH-3200BT (press MODE to switch to the CS9100 display)
  15. If your AVIC is losing settings, I would think it's the +12V constant source to the yellow wire that might be getting interrupted, as in that wire is connected to switched 12V source when it should be connected to a constant 12V source. I would use a multimeter (or a test light could work too) and check to make sure the yellow wire has 12V at all times while the red wire only has 12V when the ignition is switched to ACC or ON. It's a possibility the installer got them reversed, especially if he cut your car's original connector because car companies don't often follow standard wire color cod
  16. Is it possible to play DivX files of TV shows downloaded from torrents? Do they play full screen? They're usually fairly low resolution, despite having "HD" in the filename (I think that just means the source was widescreen HD). DivX playback won't be useful for me if I have to do any reconversion. Also, I assume the Z110BT will NOT play VOBs or support DVD Menu?
  17. Yes, you need the standard yellow/red/white A/V cable with RCA jacks on both ends. However, HD capability is wasted on the Z3. You'll be just as well off with a WD TV Mini (assuming you haven't already bought the video player).
  18. I used IDA Pro as well, maybe that's part of the problem? I have version 5.2.something. The code generated looks like SH4 assembly, but even trying to follow the SH4 opcode reference doc, I can't figure it out.
  19. I would care, I still use an old Z. I never got smart enough to figure this out though. It's too bad there's not enough nerd interest in these car stereos to have a real hacking community like there are for WinMo phones.
  20. You can verify the mute input wire by grounding it. If it mutes, then it's working properly. If it works properly, then use a meter or some kind of test light to check what kind of output your parking sensor is sending. If it's a +12V output, then you'll need to reverse this with a relay or a more complicated but clever way would be to use a transistor.
  21. If I remember correctly, it's yellow with a black stripe. Your parking sensor needs to send a ground signal to it to trigger the mute.
  22. Don't know if you still need these answers, but GPS antenna and iPod adapter between D1 and Z1 are the same.
  23. 100% sure. You don't need any of the add-on IP-BUS tuners to use a digital converter. Every digital converter I've come across has composite video out and RCA audio which will plug right into a Z1/2/3. It would have been best to purchase a digital converter when they had the $40 gov't coupon, most were free or close to it. Now you're looking at $25-40 on eBay. Several run on 12V so would be easy to adapt.
