Hi. I just replaced a 5000NEX with an 8200NEX and I'm trying to figure out how to disable sources I don't use, such as Pandora, Bluetooth audio, etc. I want to do this so when I change sources via the steering wheel control, it will only scroll the sources I use - radio, USB1 (CarPlay) and USB 2 (iPod). I can't seem to find anywhere how to do it. Thanks!

You can only disable av1 & av2..

Ah. So I'm stuck with Pandora, BT audio, etc? Thanks.

copy the contents of the archive to a USB disk
use USB1 port
run the script in the testmod
"Select 2.Write program forcedly => 8.Copy Script"

BT Audio you can turn off in the system settings

What? You want me to just run some random script? You didn't say what this script does or why I should run it...come on, man.

this script did what you asked for.

 but I wasted my time on it.

I appreciate the effort, but this is the internet. At the very least, you should have specified what it did...ever heard of malicious code?

If you are scare. Look at the code yourself. Compare the files.

you are a strange person
You ask for help on the Internet and immediately fear that the code will be harmful.
Of course, it will be harmful, because it changes the system files in the radio, in order to get the untangled potential of your device.
This script has not even been verified by me, because I do not have such a model.
But to get what you want you had to take a risk.
Well, or contact Pioneer and ask them to do it, you know what the answer will be?

Here is an example of removing the AHA on the European model, the reason was as follows.
but now we will never know how it could look like on 8200NEX

Hahaha....now YOU are a funny person. You think I'm strange for not running arbitrary code off the internet and now you're telling me you don't even know if it will work and you're criticizing me for not taking the risk? No thanks. I don't want to risk bricking my unit...or ransomware.

And yes I asked for help, but I never asked for someone to send me code to run. I was simply asking if there was a way to disable those sources through the unit that I wasn't able to find.

and you missed everything, man ;)

Ok ill tell you. Edit the mediamanager.conf. how and what to edit the file with is up to you. We tried to help and make it easy. But you want to make it hard.....

No, you didn't try and help. Someone tried to get me to run an untested script from an unknown source. That's not helping.

And I figured out how to do anyway.

I own an 8200 and am interested in the code mentioned in this thread but don't see the file(s) anywhere. Can someone point me in that direction? Thanks

He removed it after I questioned it. But why would you want to run it? He never even said what the script did, which was one of my initial objections. And he later said it hasn't been tested on an 8200 so it could very well brick your unit.

after your words, I began to doubt my abilities.
I even had to get the radio from the shelf and test it)
a miracle, it works :D

PS specially posting photos, and then suddenly you think that this is a photoshop)

Hey, good for you man. Nope, I believe it's a legit pic...however, that doesn't change the fact that I would never run any script or code from an unknown/untrusted source.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd take a very meticulous look at the script before I would consider running it. I certainly wouldn't perform a modification I was uncomfortable with, but we each have a different level when it comes to determining what we're uncomfortable with. I have a slight programming background based on my experience in IT and typically enjoy researching and tinkering with my various gadgets. That's why I'm reading and posting on a forum dedicated to modifying electronics. To each, his own, I suppose. Thanks anyway, all.
