  1. Hi Folks, I've ordered a 7000 to replace a 710 that was stolen, so this is the first time I've had to deal with a VSS connection as the 710 didn't require it. In searching the web for where to connect it (blue/white wire coming out of the PCM), I came across a couple of threads with debates on how to connect it, so thought I'd ask for input here. Is there a "correct" or "preferred" method for making the actual connection of the pink wire to the car's VSS wire? I came across people promoting each of: 1) Using a plastic splice clip 2) Removing insulation from the VSS, twisting the pi
  2. Thanks for the input folks. I will say I got extremely excited at the thought of a fully removable screen on the 7/8000 for a few seconds! It's very strange that they offer it on the 4000 but not the higher end ones. Too bad. NAV and Bluetooth are a must for me along with good sound. I guess if comes down screen space vs peace of mind, so maybe I'll stay focused on the 6000. It's a similar layout to the 710 that was stolen, and the smaller screen wasn't a deal breaker by any stretch- although I'll really miss having the rotary volume knob.
  3. Apologies for the duplicate post folks- my original one wasn't showing up even after a few refreshes, so I thought I'd forgot to hit the POST button the other day. It showed up as soon as I posted this duplicate.
  4. Hi Folks, My x710BT was stolen recently, so I've been looking at the 2014 NEX decks. I was focusing on the 6000 because it has the small removable part on the front which may help deter theft to some extent (not so much as a full removable face), but I would really like a full/larger screen 7000 or 8000. I know they have the password feature, but I was wondering if they have any kind of blinking security light that would indicate to a potential thief that it's protected. I get that many thieves won't care if it's locked, but it may ward off a few if they can see it's locked and there's
  5. Hi Folks, My trusty x710BT was recently stolen, and I'm looking to replace it. Having thought car stereo theft was a thing of the past, I've been given a rude awakening (along with the insurance adjuster and everyone else I know). So, my thoughts now go back a decade to my old head units with removable faceplates that made theft way less appealing. I've been looking at the 2014 NEX units, and see that at least part of the face is removable on the 6000, so that would give me the little extra piece of mind I'm looking for, but I would really prefer the full screen of the 7000 or 8000. I k
  6. Hi Thomas, Thanks for replying- no worries on the time... I think it was December first yesterday... or at least it feels like it! With all the holiday stuff going on, I'd forgotten all about my knob's lack of staying power myself until yesterday . I had thought about epoxy as well, but I've had issues with it in the past trying to join metal to plastic, so I looked up the price of a replacement knob from Pioneer in case the epoxy didn't hold and wrecked the original knob, then ran away in terror. They must be lined with gold considering what they want for one... So, I'd love to take y
  7. Hi Thomas, I grabbed a knob for my 710 back in the summer, and I've never been able to get it to stay on. Stayed on for 2 weeks when I first put it on, about a week the second time, couple of days on the next few attempts. I left it off at that point and forgot about it until recently since it's cold enough now that I'm wearing gloves, and remembered it the first time I tried to change volume with the original knob while wearing gloves. It seems like the hotter the weather, the longer it stayed on, and the more it went from hot during the day to cool at night, the more quickly it fell of
