I owned Pioneer 710bt in a previous car. I now have a new car (10 months old) with the stock radio (non-navi). I'm hooked on Sirius/XM, but am interested in a Navi/Carplay unit. One thing I can not find info on is how Sirius works when you are in Carplay mode with an iPhone. From the videos I've seen, it appears as if Carplay takes over control of the screen and head unit. Is it possible to play Sirius (satellite, not the app) while in Carplay mode using maps, for example? How does carplay interact/work with other Pioneer functions? Easy to switch back and forth? Thanks for your

Hi all, I have an X910BT that I purchased about 4 years ago. I did install a hack package of some type from this site when i got it and it has been running fine since then. it still has the original map files. Can anyone bring me up to speed and point me in the right direction on what can be done with this model? If I remember correctly, the X910 can use the hacks for one of the Z series models? Which models do I look for to get files/hacks for the 910? Any caveats on upgrading an older model hardware-wise? The boot up on the 910 is slow, taking about 20-30 seconds to get

Tethering an iPod touch via MyWi on an iPhone does work just fine. I did this all the time with my previous JBd iPhone 3G. The MyWi app drains the heck out of the battery, and I could never get WEP (no WPA option) working consistently, so I always left it open. The new MyWi has some power/range/battery settings, but I never upgraded.

I installed this on my x910, very straightforward, and I like the nav layout. I have noticed that it does not seem to remember my MUTE selection for the nav voice. When I power off, it defaults to voice. The stock unit would remember this setting. Is this normal, or is there a setting I missed?

for $699 right now.

I finally got this in. It looks pretty nice, considering it's function is to look like a cheap CD player. It includes a suction cup which secures it to the screen (not sure I'll use this). It appears to have enough clearance for the volume knob on the 910, and is about 1/2" deep. However, the perimeter 'lip' is too wide for my Xterra (Frontier) opening, so I'll have to do some work (trimming or bending) to get it to fit. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Are you saying that there are too many subforums on here? If so, I totally agree. 3 subs for the X, when most of the topics are also applicable in the F subs. It is too difficult to find info, especially with the wiki being incomplete.

Is this true about the warranty? I purchased from Amazon (Prime-eligible), but fulfillment was from Electronica Direct. The Electronica Direct info on Amazon states that all items they sell are brand new with full manufacturers' warranties. Should I be concerned if I ever had a problem and needed warranty service?

I changed to 2D and they work. Not as cool looking, but functional.

Wow, baffling. I have no idea on the FW or serial (it is my daughter's) but I'll check as soon as I can for ya.

I ordered on of these: http://www.xtrons.com/doce/productdetail.aspx?pid=41 I'll post when I get it as to the fit. The volume knob on the x910 is a concern.

I checked, our 32gb touch 3G works fine.

Oh, sorry. I'm using a extra second-gen 8GB touch which I leave in the car. We also have a 3rd-gen 32gb touch, but I haven't tried it with the ipod input. I'll do this tonight and let you know what it does.

Also, regarding cables, I ordered a cheap generic one from amazon and it worked just fine...until I ripped the plug off while trying to route it through a panel in my car! So I got a real apple one locally. $75 in cables, ughh.

That's discouraging. Hopefully someone with a large ipod will chime in. I use an 8gb touch and it works fine except about 1 out of 20 starts I have to unplug/plug the ipod in to get it to recognize.

Something like this: It is made of carbon fiber, and seems to be shaped for the specific vehicle's cutout. It seems like this would be something that someone is selling for double-din openings, even if it is generic, square, and somehow just covers the face of the unit. Any ideas or suggestions? I may attempt to make one, but I'd rather just buy one.

I use the exchange sync on the iphone to sync my google contacts. When you sync to the 910, it brings in ALL 100+ contacts, many of which I don't want or need on my 910. I really only want the 10 or so frequently called contacts. To make this work, I manually entered LOCAL contacts on my iPhone using first name only and primary number. Then turn off exchange sync in iphone settings. Then delete/re-upload contacts to the 910. I got a clean list of my 10 primary contacts. Once done, turn exchange sync back on for contacts. The only down side is that I have the 10 names duped on my

Will this work with an ipod touch?

I took my Nissan dash apart and connected the 910's VSS wire following these instructions. http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f24/ ... all-34080/ The unit seems to work, MPH speed is pretty responsive on the setup/satellite screen, but I am not sure how much different it is from before the VSS connection. Is there any way to confirm that the unit is getting the VSS signal? Is there a status indicator or something? Thanks.

Is VR supposed to work with mp3s on an SD card? SD is the only external music source I have plugged in, the mp3s are tagged properly, but I cannot "play" any artist, album, or song. It always tries to call someone.

Can't you simply buy the remaining lifetime for $29? Seems easier. http://www.msndirect.com/pricing.aspx

I'm looking at buying this for my Xterra. I mainly need basic GPS and Aux/Ipod/thumbdrive input, and the price is right on this model. Regarding THUMBDRIVE/USB input, I listen to alot of podcasts. My little Nano will remember where I stopped playback of an MP3 and will RESUME at that spot on next play. Will the 310 resume playback from a thumbdrive? How is the thumbdrive playback in general? Navigation of menus, ID3 tag display, etc? Thanks.
