Recently @ CES 2010 PAC released a product that gives the avic z110bt (and others) the ability to use remotes. No lag and if used with the correct remote then it also allows activation of the voice function right from the remote!Not sure why pioneer removed the IR but this little add on from PAC is just what I was looking for. Part #: WRI-P works best with (CD-R510). This product completes the unit by giving it what it should have had in the beginning!

PS. I love this forum, thanks to all Mods and members on this site!

Hello

I do not understand what you mean. You mean you can add a remote control to any Avic? To a f500 it be?

I do not understand neither the PAC modification. Are any company or accessory?

Thank you.

Here is a link to the installation manual. It might clear up some questions people might have.

Also, here is a link to Amazon where the CD-R150 is for sale:

Yes to the other F series units. I do not know about the F500 as it is a portable unit.

FYI folks, it is stated in the install manual for the WIR that this will not support Voice Recognition for the F, X, or U series units. All other functions are supported.

Thanks for the link.

in the f500 will not work because it has no IR connection.

I thought it was something that could change in the motherboard, adding a sensor or similar, but not.

Thanks anyway.

It does. If the F500 has a wired remote input as the other F series units do this will work. Google the info I provided if you don't understand what I am referring to.

here are some pics:

looks like a simple do-it-yourself-projekt

Project for what?

Got mine yesterday. Paid 55 buck for both the Pac unit, and the remote. Got it installed last night. Havent played to much with it. ( Had to play with the wife ). On the F90 it seemed kinda laggy. Still gotta figure out all the button functions too. But it is nice to finally not have to reach out and touch to work it. And switching sources is way faster than going threw all the damn menus.

Where did you mount the eye? I just ordered it and noticed it's square does the whole thing need to be visible or just the front? I wanted to mount it in the air vent above my f90

I mounted mine to the left in the space between the steering column and the dash.

Just an FYI I spoke with PAC and you can take the eye out of the black box. You just snap it out of the black case and mount it anywhere but they said fo it so you point the remote at the radio.

The remote has to be pointed at the eye from the module, not the radio.

Anyone have a link where I can buy this with a compatible remote? This seems slightly confusing to me.

Whats the confusion? All of the info needed is in the first post of this thread.

I was just curious because the one I found:

Looks nothing like the pictures woody posted earlier.

The pictures pasted earlier are of the circuit boards contained inside the blue case in the auction you posted

That is it.

I am having probles with this IR receiver. I hooked it all up, but when it is plugged in it will just cycle through the presets continuously. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how do you fix it? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

Well I got the dang thing to work. The cycling through of presets was due to a faulty connection I believe. I rewired it all and now it works great.

So has anyone had any luck with this for a AVIC-F90BT? If so does the voice activatione work? it does not list this model as one that doesnt work with the voice activation is why I ask.

Compatibility Notes

1. The voice recognition command via wireless remote is not supported on the following models: AVIC-F700BT, AVIC-F900BT, AVIC-U310BT, AVIC-X710BT, and AVIC-X910BT.

2. PAC recommends the use of the Pioneer CD-R510 or CXC9115 remote for maximum compatibility with the WRI-P. Other Pioneer remotes may work, but some functions / buttons may not be supported.

Also how hard and long of an install process is it?

All F series are the same software wise. It doesn't work with one it doesn't work with any of them. It is not supported.

Thanks.

Has anyone installed it for an AVIC F90BT yet?

If you check the compatibility thread on this forum you might find your answer.
