Its not a perfect unit, and the install was a compromise BUT is more than serves my needs and was well within budget at $420 fully installed.
I will try and fix that problem as well, although it is plenty loud enough for my taste. The Volume is lower than before, mainly because the rear speakers are only running at 30-40% output. The new head is going off with the ignition key, I gave up on the RAP but might have another go. The DIC has full functionality and the steering wheel and dash volume controls still work.
#Pioner avic f700bt update#
Speakers (preouts front -/+) spliced them into the factory headĮverything pretty much works as before apart from I lost the factory XM, which I didn't use anyway. AVIC-F700BT sold in Europe, excluding Russia, and upgraded with CNSD-100FM/EU5 If you have any difficulty carrying out these instructions, please first refer to the Firmware Update FAQ included in this document and/or contact Pioneer Customer Support Center. I added tails with quick release connectors to the following:ġ2v Constant - The factory head unit (no CD there now so the draw shouldn't be a problem) The volume is on the low side but it wasn't a loud system with the factory head. Cost, the unit and iPod cable cost me $405 delivered to my door.Ĭons - The Pioneer does take a little time to boot but not too bad considering its loading maps, iPod info and connecting to my phone. The bluetooth and iPod connectivity on the Pioneer are both very slick. PROS - cheap install (practically free) plus I have more factory functionality working than many pro installs. Ended up stripping an old monster cable down and twisting the bare wires together, and it works fine now. MFR AVIC-F700BT What's in the box: Pioneer AVIC-F700BT owner's manual Double-DIN CD/Navigation receiver with attached 6.5' USB cable (Type A female connector) Wiring harness RCA connector harness 16.25' Reverse gear signal wire GPS antenna with attached 16.25' cable Self-adhesive metal sheet (2. Screen brightness, there isnt as many settings as the D3 4. GPS Voice is a Guy, when you switch to a girl she sounds like crap (very computerized) 3. Built in Google411 (works with voice commands) +++ Cons: 1. I tried soldering RCA plugs onto tails that were spliced into the factory wires but my soldering skills are lacking. Custom colors, so you can have a exact match to the color of your dash 7. Hardest, or most frustrating, art of the install was getting the RCA cables from the head hooked up to the factory wiring. Everything is still working apart from the XM, which isn't a big deal because the Pioneer add on is only $70 on eBay. Didn't use any third party harnesses, so the installation costs were under $20. I just finished the wiring this evening, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Needless to say I decide against the professional install. His breakdown was $350 labor, $350 radio parts, and $200 for a steering wheel controller. The local "professional" quoted $900 to do the install AFTER I have fabricated the dash.
