h2omaan Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Installed 2 already, very nice unit for the money. much better touch responce than the f-series junkers. if you don't need nav then go with this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swooshusn Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Did you run into any issues? I'm assuming you also bypassed the parking break interlock... what method did you use? Also, how's the iPod interface? Using a standard cable or the 4100-specific one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2omaan Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 the touch/swipe feature is not as iPhone'ish as they made it out to be but its kinda nice. bypassing is as easy as wiring 1 relay to switch to ground with the remote turn on as a trigger. Oh one issue is the damn thing doesn't have a power antenna wire, WTF is that about installed in a toyota supra and had to put switch on power antenna so it would go down without turning off radio, thats friggin dumb on there part Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swooshusn Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Can you eleborate a bit on how to use/wire the relay. Is there a specific one I should use? also, are there any issues with using the remote lead to turn on mulitple items, ie triggering the relay plus turning on my amps?

h2omaan Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 the relay is easy to wire, 85 goes to ground 86 goes to remote turn-on/from #30 on relay from below 30 goes to ground 87 goes to the green wire on the pioneer harness as far as hooking up to much to the remote turn on wire, that just depends on what you are hooking up to it and what kinda of current draw they have. you can add a relay to the actual remote turn-on wire and then you souldn't have any problems with using it to trigger things. most relays are 30amp. if you wanna add a relay to the remote turn-on to bump up its capacity here's how, if you do this then when you do the bypass the use terminal 30 from this setup below to go to 86 on the relay from above info 85 goes to ground 86 to remote turn-on 30 will be your new remote turn-on output connection\also goes to #86 for bypass relay above 87 gets a solid constant or ignition source that will actually be feeding the parts to are trying to trigger with the remote turn-on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raydee Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 SO everything works with the 4100DVD? I just got a credit for my F series PILE OF CRAP and it looks like this is the radio that I am going to get with the credit. It will be nice to have a remote control again!

enfanteribl Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Can anyone let me know if this unit can be upgraded to a Nav unit? If so, how? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raydee Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I installed mine yesterday and so far I love it. It sounds way better than my F series, no lag and I can use my Pioneer steering wheel controller I miss the navigation but it never worked half the time anyway.

Lack Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'm enjoying this one for a couple hours now. Problem is, I'm located in Europe and have an US version. Anyone know if there's any chance of changing the radio tuner band jump to the euro specific/is there a way to change the dvd region? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clemitonthree Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Has anyone ever had the "caution: screen image may appear reversed" come up on their screen and it wouldnt go away? I don't even have a backup camera which is what the manual says its for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBBurly Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 random question, is it true the clock can only be set to 24 hr (military) time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipzin33 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think they must have updated the firmware, because when I bought my avh-p4100dvd about two to three months ago, its in regular 12 hour time format. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wcravens Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey i have a few questions regarding installation... I have a 2006 ford explorer, and when i wired everything my unit would not work because my radio acc switch wire seemed to not work for some reason in the factory harness? So i wired the acc cord directly to the battery for the unit to work, but i was wondering if there is a better solution? I know i need to install a switch so the unit is not on 24/7. Second, i also had a problem with the antennae jack and was wondering how you got around that? Third, i purchased the bluetooth unit but i can't manage to get it to receive power and was wondering how you hooked this up? Thanks in advance!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance!!! 1) run a single wire from the deck's ACC lead to your cigarette lighter 2) still working on that one myself... 3) the BTB200 comes with a harness that needs to be tapped into the same wiring as the deck harness. I believe there's a yellow and a ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
