  1. Hey, I'm lookin' to get new speakers. My first car ('94 Saturn SL1) had a Pioneer deck and rear speakers when I got it, and I liked it. When I got my second car ('02 Buick Regal LS) I put a Pioneer deck in there and picked up some cheap Pioneer speakers for the rear and it sounded pretty good as well. So I'm a Pioneer fan. Now I have my third car, a 2009 Nissan Versa and I'm looking to get front and rear speakers this time, as well as an amp which I've never had. I have the AVIC-F700BT already installed, and I'm just wondering if the following will all work together nicely: Pioneer TS
  2. I noticed it was working as well. I got excited and said, "Sweet, the time is correct!" I had a friend in the car who didn't know about the problem, and he was pretty confused as to why I would be excited about the correct time.
  3. As far as I know, basically all you need to do is "wrap" the gren wire and the yellow wire together onto a grounding wire (black wire, mine had a hook-like thing at the end of it) from a vehicle and seal it with electrical tape. If you don't have a black grounding wire coming from your vehicle, there's one on the AVIC as well I believe you can use. Otherwise find something metal in the dash you can use, and secure the green and yellow wires to that. Grounding simply means giving an electrical current a safe base to touch down on. That way you don't have live electricity zapping around
  4. Believe it or not, artists still release music in a collection known as an album. Here's some screenshots to show the difference between VBR and non-VBR albums. The VBR album has bitrates between 192kbps to 320kpbs listed even though they are all from the same source, while the SBR album's tracks all have 320kpbs flat. I'm going to go test now to see if only the VBR files are the ones skipping. If so, all we'll have to do is recode them to SBR and then no more skipping songs!
  5. I had this problem happen as well. It all seemed to be fine at first, and I actually just drove home and it was fine again. However, earlier tonight I was driving to a friend's with the GPS on, and the GPS voice kept popping up to give instructions and then my music started skipping to the next track. I just checked my music files, and the album that was skipping was recorded in VBR. I'm going to listen to another album tomorrow that's VBR as well, and then a couple of static-rate files and see if that's the problem. That was my initial guess, that the player has difficulty with VBR files.
  6. I installed it last night/this morning. I think it took me around 3 hours. It was my first stereo install ever, and I was pretty impressed at the job I did. Very clean. I drilled a hole into my cubby for the USB cable, but I couldn't find a grommet to fill the hole. So, to keep he USB cable from slipping back down and into the dash, I used electrical tape on the bottom side. Haha. Kind of ghetto, but it can't be seen and does the job. I put the GPS antenna on top of the cubby inside the dash, as you mentioned. I haven't tested it too much yet, so I hope it works... Also, I opted to
  7. I just finished installing my AVIC-F700BT last night/this morning. It was my first stereo install ever. It took me three hours or so, but I did it. I did the bypass as well, thanks to this thread! It took me a while to get it and I was getting frustrated, but it was worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't even have known where to put the parking brake wire. I wasn't about to remove all the panels around my parking brake and shifter just to find it. I ended up literally ripping out the white plastic tab on the Mute Wire with a small blade on a pocket knife. I tried pressing it down but it didn'
  8. Wait, will this work on the F700BT? It doesn't have a speed cable, so how will the system know how fast the car is going? I'm needing to do a bypass some way or another because, honestly, I don't even know how to connect the parking brake wire to the parking brake. I'm guessing I'd have to remove all the panels surrounding the parking break and I'm not about to do that.
  9. Here's one I did for fun. Does anyone know if you can hack the units to display a random splash screen on boot-up from a collection of images?
  10. Here's a quick edit... What do you think?
  11. So you put the antenna right on top of that little "cabinet" thing above the deck slot? I must be pretty dumb because I didn't realize how many diferent things I would need to find a place for. I'm talking about the GPS antenna, microphone, and USB cable of course. Since you guys have a Versa like me, where did you end up putting these? I think I will put my antenna inside the dash since that seems to work fine, although I might just have it up on the dash in the far front of the shelf near the windshield. I want the USB cable to go through to the inside of that "cabinet" or t
  12. That's 1/4th the cost of my unit. That's way too much for an update. I'm not too worried about it costing anything though...
  13. Oh wow, ok. That is kind of stupid. I guess I will be doing the hardware bypass then. Thanks for the info.
  14. I've read about a lot of people doing the bypass, and I'm wondering what it does. From what I can gather, it just lets you play video files while the vehicle is in motion? Otherwise you have to have to parking brake on? Does it allow anything else? If that's all it does, I think I'll be fine without it and would rather save myself the trouble of attempting to modify the unit in any way unless it would benefit me greatly. I don't plan on watching videos in my vehicle any time soon, especially while the vehicle is in motion (although it might be neat to play music videos when passengers are
  15. I don't have my F700BT yet, but I will use this until I take my own photo of my car...
