welcome

depending on the harness steve id say not the unit requires an ign feed to activate the bluetooth and search for the phone if the radio was on 247 you would leave the connection and the car wouldnt know when to re connect a switch would be the only way of having it on and engine or key off

Yes same same

hope so

hi jon

It's for more accurate navigation and time zones needs to be there

Nice 👍

Apple can some times be a little different in method . So I went to look at WiFi on my android Samsung phone and couldn't connect the way I would of expected . Instead I unplugged the phone paired to the stereo via Bluetooth first and as soon as I did that I had a pop up asking if I wanted android auto to connect wireless ly and it worked . Hope that helps

There are 2 of these units that are essentially exactly the same. One allows for wired Apple CarPlay, and the other is wireless. I purchased this from Halfords also, and I paid an extra £100 for the wireless version, and I did see on the reviews of the wired one that people were expecting wireless CarPlay, but it just did not support it. Hope this is of help

works for me

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio thanks

handbrake earth if its not connected it blocks some features

Sure so pioneer spares can replace what you need . Pioneer power iso . 2.5 mm pioneer microphone. Standard 1 metre male to female type a usb .

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio Brilliant, thank you. Much appreciated 👍

handbrake cable wont stop the sub working

the can bus wiring for steering controls is a 3.5mm jack marked w/r . the purple and white is the reverse trigger for the rear cam 12v or switched on menu to ground trigger . and the rear camera input is the brown phono or rca input

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio thank you so much for repling me to my question. I Just noticed that rear cam start only if i set my Gear knob on R going to camera if i Just set Gear knob on R nothing happen.. going Crazy🫠🫠.. coming from a chip android headset but It was running perfect talking about rear view

yes loads

it works fine . this unit although carries the pioneer name its build is outsourced not a in house unit . normal warranties apply , i just wish they kept the 230dab

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio thanks for the reply. Is the 230 better than the 360?

the 230 is the best by far but not made anymore

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio what is the difference between the 230 and 360? Why is the 230 better?

bigger screen buttons on the bottom and reliable . the 160 and 360 are of same nature but the 360 is wireless capable but the 230 will always be my fav

oh im sure 99 % of park breaks are negative but if you with the menu has an option to sense positive too

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio yeah all the newer pioneer are use the positive side of the handbrake switch including the sph-da360dab

@@Tricky-11 not mine all negative switch able signal to positive

Yes or an antenna on or off

try downloading a new software from pioneers website refresh the unit

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio thank you for your reply but how to refresh unit through usb stick.

no andrew it has gps puck to help

@AlexCarter-AscAudio Thank you keep up the good work and content and keep safe

Hello the green handbrake cable according to pioneers installation manual should go to the handbrake positive lead would it still work if i connect it to the black ground on the pioneer harness or should it go to the positive side of the handbrake

@@andrewcrockford6151 nope it goes to ground to make the unit operational all the time the handbrake switch can be trigger set to live or ground but default is negative

Thank you for clearing that up you a star

so the radio works when the van is off but not when its on ?

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio excatly. 😢

So you need to check the powers the radio only need 2 lives ign and perm to turn on and a ground . In the power harness you must have a cable still powering the radio after the ignition is removed . Almost like a bad lazy earth . Use a metre or test light and check the voltages of the three cables live earth and ign . Apart from illumination and aerial power you need nothing else

head unit is the problem

agree

Bought this myself, due to the spec and not to risk these cheaper Chinese Android units. This is Pioneers Chinese version. Absolutely hate anything touch screen in a car but that was the compromise. I do have steering wheel volume controls at least.

@@kw5349 do you mean the built in controls on your car?I have a Pug 308 with volume buttons on a stalk. I wondered if i can interface to this unit

@@wintersun398 yes that's what I mean. You should be able to add the steering controls to the harness required between the headunit and car. On a side note I hated this Pioneer so much I swapped it for a Kenwood unit. £200 more but so so much better!! No knob but has a row of physical buttons and a mute (ATT) 👌

@@kw5349 what model kenwood did you buy? I like the idea of a mute button! can you pair two phones to it though? that is possible with this pioneer, although not sure if it accepts calls in from either connected phone?? I want to pair a personal and work phone

yes it requires a crimp or solder to join them

nope it will work without it

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio thanks

To a reverse light power or reverse trigger . Some vehicles need a relay adding to keep the power above the correct level . If you are using a car with a can system you may have the out put on the steering control harness .

no you need red live ign yellow perm 12v and black earth

sure

what subaru

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio 2008 BP5 liberty/legacy - originally had the mcintosh system, I tried cutting the wires before the SWC module and attaching them to the headunit but they don't work.. From some reseach the PAC SWI-CP5 and Aerpro AXSWC units should work but there is zero information from Pioneer on this for the SPH headunits. Cheers

do you have a playable format ?

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio I will check the format.

Android auto and carplay are approved apps.. to be able to have them used inside a production car they have to meet certain specifications like not being able to watch films as the car is in motion and not to distract the driver . The green wire is a sense that tells the stereo that the handbrake is on and allows full use of the stereo as in you're not moving and the stereo can show you everything all of the features . Not having the green connected to anything means the unit is in limbo and won't allow access to certain things . Using the cars handbrake switch either earth or power then allows the full use . We connect the green to the earth so the unit thinks it's safe to perform all its tasks and show and do everything because its fooled into thinking its safe to do so . If you still crash and kill people watching a film whilst driving then that becomes a you problem not a manufacturer issue they have made it safe by adding a green wire as a fail safe and we bypass that so you get full function . How you use it after that is down to the user .

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio OK all clear! but how can i see the iphone screen on the pioneer? or apps like youtube?

@@house7249 its not android its android auto you tube is not available when driving unless you use auto link to screen share

to what liam

@Alex Carter i connected like u did to the black then i put a loop connector on the end and connected to a bolt where i have other stuff connected behind the radio. (Saab 95)

I dont know what settings u can change anyway if it is connected correctly. My brightness option wont change anyway so my screen is super bright at night

brightness can be changed in the settings to auto , when the lights are on it dims . timed so at a time set by you it will go to day mode or night mode or manual you turn it off or on . look for the button that has a box and a line under it on the screen

@Alex Carter mines set to auto but the night setting is greyed out. Cant change it. Thanks for the replies

Try an update

@@AlexCarter-AscAudio there us no update for 360dab bro
