Hey guys recently bought a pioneer app radio which came with no installation manual now my problem is that I'm not sure which wire is to be connected to handbrake and how can someone please help
I can't remember the colour, but don't connect it! Connect it to the negative or earth it to ensure full functionality on the move!
How can connect it to negative and what colour is it ?
What model is it ?
For the SPH-DA01 the manual says it is green/white to connect to the power supply side of the parking brake switch. If you do a google search you should find a PDF manual at w www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/ ... ual.pd.You (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/SPH-DA01_AppRadio_InstallationManual.pd.You) w should be able to find the manuals for other models on the website too.
All sorted guys thanks for all your help oh one more thing does the sph- da01 play videos if so how do I do this
heya,
if there was a wire to plug into handbrake, this means it plays videos s:P :P s:P
you will probably need to have them on your iPod/iphone, if you have wired it into your handbrake then your handbrake will need to be applied to watch the videos.
I earthed the wire, so i could watch videos anytime... not that i condone watchin videos on the move as it is dangerous and you could have an accident s;) ;) s;)
I earth it too couldnt be bothered to tear my car a part but there is no video option on the stereos menu for video how do you play it I have avatar on my phone
Should be able to go onto apps and then find a media software that works no?
Paul, PM me if you need any help with this still
Thanks mate but its all sorted absolutely love this radio just for the fact I don't have to stick sat Nav on window any more highly recommend
i second that!
How easy is it to fit the appradio? And what's it like to use?
App radio 2 is verry responsive to use. Lots of uaeful features, good screen I would recommend it... better than I thought
Its.... quite a lot to install... if you install it properly. But well worth it. The manual talks you through it
I had read somewhere - think if was the halfords web site - that, with the app radio, you could not listen to the radio if the sat nav was on, is this right? I bought some Focal 165s last week and I'm wondering whether or not to upgrade my head until (or stick with it and just output it to an amp), so the appradio might be in contention. Mostly all I care about is music.
Also does the radio keep the phone well charged? Is it feasible to use the sat nav on the iphone for longer journeys e.g. a few hours?
Cheers
Hi
Its not fantastic as a charger. You cant run gps and increase battery power. Well you could but you would probaby need to close all other apps. Not you cant listen to the radio with the gps. But you can have music player on your phone and listen to tue music on your phone while running gps.
I have the same speakers. But wired it through the vibe amp which is currently on offer at halfords. The result I get is fantastic
Will do a full write up there night to explain everything as there are soo many people with questions.
I've got an iphone 5, and I don't think it plays well with the app radio, but the amp looks like it might be in with a shout. Cheers Vinxy.
Alright s:) :) s:) they have JUST launched an update for iphone 5
