does carplay work wirelessly or do i need a wire?

If my car is old and does not have a usb, can this still work with the provided usb??? I want the apple car play

@@truestoryyo2717 Your vehicle does not need a USB port to make Apple CarPlay work. The Pioneer DMH-160BT has a USB port on the back of the receiver. The USB port is designed to give you Apple CarPlay on the in-dash receiver screen when you plug in your iPhone. This will also charge your phone when it's plugged into USB. You can see this demonstrated on a similar Pioneer receiver in this How To video from Pioneer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbZjksSBqbKvYnk.html The USB extension cable that comes with the receiver is designed to be installed when you have the vehicle's dash apart to install the new in-dash receiver. Many installations run the USB extension cable to the center console, or glove box of the vehicle, or some other place that is safely out of the way, and yet still easily accessible to the driver.

I recommend to call a sales adviser at Crutchfield for help. Removing the factory radio will also remove the door chimes, and other vehicle safety features.

Please be more specific with your question. Are you saying that Apple CarPlay is working with the receiver and the USB extension cable with an iPhone, but Android Auto is not working? Please be sure to update your phone to the latest Android OS . Restart your phone. I recommend to try a different cable. Or to remove the extension cable. Possibly one long cable that is USB type A on the radio and and USB type C for the Pixel on the phone end. You can find more videos on Pioneer's KZfaq Channel here: kzfaq.info

The first thing I would try is to run the ground to metal in the body or frame of the vehicle. This may solve the issue. What is the model number of your Pioneer in-dash receiver? Are you using an external amplifier? What is the vehicle? Have you done any other modifications, or upgrades to the vehicle or engine, or wiring?

@@pioneerelectronics Thank you. It is a DMH-160BT. My vehicle is a 2004 Chevy Blazer. No external amps or other mods. I did try the OEM head unit and can detect faint interference even with that which I likely never noticed, but with the new digital tuner it is constant crackling and many channels can't tune in - but only when the engine is running when it's off it sounds perfect and tunes great. It doesn't seem like alternator noise either since it doesn't change as I accelerate, it is just a constant crackle.

@@pioneerelectronics I tried rerouting the ground to the chassis and even direct to battery but it did not improve the interference. It is a 2004 Chevy Blazer with no other mods or amps. I have a 10A suppression filter coming that I may try. It doesn't seem like typical alternator noise it is just continual crackling and reduced power when engine is running. I can try to measure ground voltage when operating too.

@@MattPilz Troubleshooting noise can be complicated for sure. Here are a couple ideas: 1- Change the ground to chassis instead of using factory ground wire or any ground from an interface module including steering wheel control interface if used. 2- After the ground has been swapped, try unplugging the vehicles AM/FM antenna from behind the 160bt and start the vehicle to see if noise is still induced in this radio system. I have seen poorly grounded AM /FM radio antennas (window or fender mounted) or cable issues that induced noise into the radio system. 3- On Amazon, for a few dollars , you may consider buy a bag of ferrite noise chokes for noise suppression . These tiny magnet type filters can be snapped around the red accessory and yellow main battery leads of the radio which may help knock out any unwanted induced motor noise . Usually motor noise should rev up when the gas pedal is pressed so I'm not certain how it's being induced into this vehicle 4- For testing purposes only if possible, bring a small regulated 12 volt power supply out to the vehicle and disconnect the batt, acc, ground (yellow, red, and black) from the 160bt power plug but leave the radio mounted in the dash. Connect the AC/DC power supply up to the radios red and yellow together (12V) along with ground to power up the radio from an outside power source and not the vehicle battery. Start the vehicle to see if the noise is gone or not. There could be a main vehicle harness running around or below the head unit that maybe inducing noise. www.amazon.com/Tulead-Ferrite-Chokes-Noise-Suppressor/dp/B081SX3225?th=1

@@pioneerelectronics Thank you for all of those suggestions! Unfortunately I have tried all of them except the testing of a separate 12V and it continues to occur. This also included trying a brand new antenna and cable isolated from anything under the hood. And I tried the ferrites on the cables mentioned as well as antenna cable and even spark plugs and nothing made it any better. Interestingly enough if the antenna is UNPLUGGED or TUNED TO A NON-FREQUENCY (no airwave) then there is no crackling and it sounds the same with or without the engine running. So it seems there is something wonky with actual tuned soundwaves being input or output. Is there any chance this could still be an internal issue with the head unit itself? Just seems odd if it sounds so good without the engine running. I'd hate to buy a second unit just to rule that out as a possibility but am running low on ideas.

@@XxBUGZBUNNYxX23 In North America, Pioneer aftermarket in-dash receivers are designed to install into many different vehicles. Not one make, not one model, and not one year. Since the aftermarket receiver is designed to be used in many different vehicles, there is no connector included in the box for any specific vehicle. Pioneer uses the same wire harness colors for all aftermarket receivers.

I recommend professional installation of an aftermarket receiver. You can find a Pioneer Authorized Dealer for professional installation in North America here: www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Where-To-Buy Many people choose to do the installation themselves.

Yes this can work, however, please keep reading for a few details that you'll want to know. There are several different variations on the 2005 Chevy Silverado. If you have the 1500 Standard Cab or similar there is a support bracket behind the factory radio that needs to be cut out in order to install any new in-dash receiver that is "full depth".

It's not major surgery to cut out the support bracket, it's done all the time.
