  1. lol i just found that out! ugggggg. i guess i get to start from step one again and im out 5 bucks. why do i have to be stupid and test stuff. think theyll offer me a dummie refund? lol thanks for the help.
  2. kool. im just about to try it out. also will i be able to test this on my z1. then pull it out and pop it into my z2?
  3. hey all. i came up with an old z1 and salvaged the cd dvd drive for my z2. i also removed the hdd and have been trying to upgrade. i spent my 5 bucks, the drive shows unlocked. so now im trying to use mhdd. i realized that since i dont have a floppy i would have to use cd. my cd is connected to the only ide cable in my comp. i tried a buddys comp and got it to the config part. when i sellect enter, enter, y on security off then enter, enter. it says writing then DEVICE ERROR . thats where im stuck. his comp is an hp so i figured thats the problem. i pulled out my old emachines a
  4. lol not really. do i need to hack my phone settings button?
  5. my typical pioneer settings volume should never go over 3/4 ever ever never bass=0 or less freq 100 mid= 2 or 3 freq 1 treble= 3 and up freq 10k hpf on at 125 yes it high but it will save your mids from your retardedness lol sub xover at 125 unless you have 15s if your deck has a sound mode i like "living room" but it adds a huge boost to the sound. meaning you cant turn the volume up past 15 hope it helps.
  6. hey there i just got to play with my first f500 (now that there discontinued) i had big problems with my remote start. when id rs, it would turn on acc, but when i cranked it would loose acc power for just a second and that would f up the whole boot process. avic wouldnt re power on after this, i would have to hit the power button,. then it wouldnt recognize sd, until i popped the mem card out and back in. i battled the video formating until i was able to get them to not skip and sound decent. i realized the unit is in extreme slow mode when your playing video i changed the wi
  7. ha i love looking at the future!~!!!! the one feature that really interested me was "with built-in terrestrial digital TV tuners" now that would be fn sweet.
  8. i dont mean to gripe or get you down you didnt mention your age but if your 18-21 i say go for it! at least you spend the money for school and then can immediatle use that cert to get a job. im 25 and i realize now that this industry isnt for "men" its for youngins that dont want to flip burgers or sit in an office. ha and those raises your talking about are pennies! good luck whatever you do!
  9. Misfit ur a smart mofo car stereo installation will only ever get you 50k a year at most. thats probly after 10 years of doing it too. car installer are now a dime a dozen because anyone can attempt to put in a deck, if you can put in a deck then you can work at best buy, and if you work at best buy then you get "certified"! making you a qualified car stereo installer! sweet but that cirtificate doesnt mean shi because you only ever put decks speakers, remote starts, and maybe video in! if your young and want to ave some fun at work then go for it! i however cannot recomend anyone "as
  10. hay all this is a custom job i did awhile ago he has the avhp7800dvd with just about all the extras including an avic 80 about a week ago he called me and said his tv wouldnt power on, he was having other issues with the car and took it to a shop. when it got out of the shop the radio worked fine! wtf? well i stopped by his house to redo the settings and check it out i noticed the XM Airware thats hooked through the aux inputs through a CD-RB10 wasnt playing sound. i double checked the airware in his house and its working fine. i go back out to his car and realize that NO OTHER SOUR
  11. hay all i asked my bud if i could borrow his 06 megacab because all these people keep pming me about his camera. he said sure so heres what i got this truck is sick. avic-z2, vizualogic headrest screens (cut in, not dorp in), diamond amps, memphis speakers, kicker subs, blue led kit, bluetooth, xtra dvd player (from when he had a d3), and its lifted and custom painted. exaust sounds tough too! so the camera is identical to the nd-bc20. on dodge trucks withe the large tailgate handle you can unbolt the inner tailgae skin and remove the handle itself. i basically cut an upside down "U"
  12. you could do the exact same thing that the "smal plug" from crutchfield is doing only youd need a wire diagram for that system. that pioneer edition is a wierd one luckily ive never had to do audio to one. but basically if you can find what wires are going into your doors to power the speakers then follow them either to their own amp (worst case) or they lead right up to the cd player and into that small plug you would just need to find what wires are positve and what wires are negative. if they have their own amp then you would need to power it up withe that blue/wht and find the po
  13. hi there the manual that u can see online at peripherals website should show you positive and negative can. let me know if you have any trouble with that peswican. ive had nothing but problems out of the 2 ive sold. i refuse to do steering wheel controls on dodges now. the problem i get is that they stop working after a week or two when i stick my head under the dash (which is where i moved the swc boxes to after all the fn trouble theyve had) and the pe swips will not be illuminated meanning the swican didnt give it an accesory signal to turn on. so i unplug swican and what do you kn
  14. well id say that your bypass is not working. read over the bypass threads again and check the date on ur z2 and for the bluetooth id try to find it with your phones bluetooth menu.
  15. is there any way that the speaker wires that you used to hook up the by 9s are touching each other or the body of the car?? how did you connect them butt connectors or wrap and tape?
  16. from the picture it looks like the + and - from each speaker wire are butt connected together. could just be the pic tho. if not sepparate them immediatly lol does the buzz start immediatly when you power the deck? or is it only when the car is running? does it get louder with the engines revs? heres some tips u could try take your ground (which i deem to be perfect) and run a nother wire from that bolt thats just a length of wire. then turn on tv and let it buzz. take your grounded length of wire and touch it to any of the 4 rca shields that are running to your harness. hope
  17. did anyone answer your question about the steering controls? you need the peswips (50 on ebay, 99 at best buy) and the peswican (60 ebay, dont know if bb carries it) unfortunately you need 2 pieces for new dodge and vw vehicles. let me know if you get them hooked up ive had alot of problems with them in a 05 megacab. and about the mute problem. it sounds like your infinity amp isnt getting powered up right away. maybe a problem with the interface but could also be an install problem. i cant see the bluetooth causing this issue because doesnt it just lower the volume when it recie
  18. thats for ford vehicles hifi cuz their amp turnon needs 5 volts instead of 12. what bypass/adapter are u using jmc?
  19. i believe cost was 700 something lol
  20. i hope a group of "techs" or "reps" are standing around a computer at pioneer laughing maniacally at your letter. mwaahh haha and the fact that u paid 999 shows just what kind of consumer u are. end user, and for that 999 you expected the world. a grand is nothing now a days 2 grand is barely a dent. any of u remember when flip outs with nav were 3500 plus? i respect that you took the time to voice your concerns with pioneer, but these units arent even designed with us stupid americans in mind. peace
  21. hmmmm, well he did signup just to post this one piece of info! lol id guess hes right tho. when the z3 does come out it "hopefully" only needs the pin
  22. please dont slander dei just because one guy you know has had issues with them dei makes the best alarm systems on the market and thats y youll find there stuff in all big-box stores and alot of mom and pop shops. when a company carries compustar or autopage or audiovox its most likely just because they "cost" less. those same companies most likely use directechs. i bet almost all installers that read this post use dei stuff ever used directechs? best wiring info arround although i cant say i love there tech support. so again i understand your friend told you this but please do
  23. my roomate just got the exact same setup and... is furious with the exact same problem. i think the classic came out befor the nano. so the 1.02 for the classic probly is the only "new" ipod firmware that doesnt have this problem. i dont think there is a firmware for the nano that will do this.
  24. but the family can i always have thought it was hilarious to try to turn your radio into a weapon but... i dont live in a city full of criminals. mines only half full of criminals and i live on the good side of town
