  1. Got the 70-8113 the other day. Put it in and I must say that I am quite pleased with the improvement. It gave me what I was hoping for which was better bottom end response without actually making any EQ adjustments on the HU. Now, I have a new problem. My wife would like one as well. Thanks for your insight as well punch10001. I actually had been using the 70-1761, but didn't like the bottom end response. Actually the stock radio sounded better than the AVIC with the FM source. The connectors are located inside the dash opening to the right. easy to get at. BTW, I am not h
  2. Good idea. I will put it on the bench in the coming weeks when I get a chance and report back. I'm guessing that they'll be line levels coming out. In the meantime... I called Metra and they confirmed that the 70-8113 is the correct harness to utilise the onboard amps for my car. The only caveat he gave me was that I needed to be careful I wasn't dealing with a 1999 Camry. If so, the 70-8112 would be the right choice. The guy on the phone seemed VERY knowledgable and was very helpful. I'm going to double check the VIN on the car and ge me a harness...
  3. Thanks joemamma1954. I'm in total agreement with what you're saying. I've never actually pushed speaker level outs into line level ins. I'd be afraid of the outcome, unless I had some disposable items sitting on my bench, of course. The Metra 70-1761 harness that I've put in for now requires you to not use the plug that came out of the back of the radio (left hanging in dash) and unplug the two harnesses from the onboard amp(s). These tho plugs interface with the two piece harness, that then go directly to the speakers from the HU. This all works fine, but sounds a little "thin
  4. Thanks for your input jhren. I actually installed the deck with the speaker level harness that I had. All went really well. Took longer than I expected, as usual. Too much of a perfectionist and being tidy with the work. I am going to get a line level harness i.e Metra 70-8113 to utilize the onboard JBL amps for the good reasons that you cited above. What's interesting is Crutchfield's site says that the 70-8113 does NOT fit my car, but Metraonline says that it does. Seems like Crutchfield's site doesn't ask the question of whether or not the car has inboard amps or not, b
  5. Thanks for the time on ths ScottinPollock. Based on your feedback and since I've already got the 70-1761 harness in hand, I'm just going to slide it in with it tonite. I may still source one of the line level harnesses and swap it out when I have a few minutes just to see if I sense/hear any difference. I'm liking the thought of the 6000 potentially running cooler by not using the onboard amps as well. Thay may be my biggest motivator in the end to going with the alternate harness.. If/When I do this, I will update this post in case it helps someone else in the end. Cheers
  6. Thanks ScottinPollock... I'm as well certain that the car's stock amps would be utilising the line level inputs. I may not have expressed my question as clearly as I could have. My bad for that..... What I'm after is opinion(s), (past experiences would of course be awesome to hear about) on whether I should expect a better outcome by going one way or the other.... I already have the 70-1761 harness (for using the AVIC's amps), but am curious as to whenter I'd be "losing" anything by not leveraging the car's amps? I'm guessing that it may as well keep the AVIC running cooler if
  7. Hi there, I'm about to install an AVIC-6000NEX into a 2000 Toyota Camry with the premium JBL sound system. I've run across two wiring harnesses. One that will utilize the new deck's onboard amps and the other that seems like it will use the line outs on the deck and continue to work with the car's stock amps.

  8. For anyone who's been peeking in on this.... Got the password cleared by Pioneer service centre after demonstrating that it was a legit purchase and not a stolen unit. Best Buy is reimbursing the $85 expense
  9. Does anyone know if this is supposed to work on an AVIC-6000NEX ? If not, is there a process that will assist?
  10. Just wondering if you ever got your password trouble cleared up? I've got a 6000 demo unit that I just purchased from a Best Buy. It was a really good deal, but when I plugged it in discovered there was a password to deal with...
  11. I just purchased the above model from Best Buy over the weekend. It was a unit out of a demo display from a Future Shop location that had been closed. Got it for a very good deal (under $300 CDN). Went to install it and ran across it needing a password to boot up. I've been following the instructions found here: http://avic411.com/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&andor_type=&sid=cc34b2cd9355945827c97adf508e1a18&search_app_filters[forums][sortKey]=date&cType=topic&cId=37025&search_app_filters[forums][sortKey]=date&search_app_filters[forums]
