Aussielinesman Awesome mate! Glad you like it! It’s a great little unit

Is android auto responsive? Do you have any glitches or random disconnections, does it work from the head unit to make calls? Im looking to get one just making sure it's good.

@@CoyotePower5.0 The unit is good. You'll likely have AA issues with any unit you go with, we are seeing Android Auto have issues across the board and its not because of the units. If you're using a Samsung it should be fine, except for the most recent update (customers are having issues). and if you're using a Chinese phone, good luck! When it works its great and the unit is awesome but i would be looking at the 5350 :)

@@CoyotePower5.0 Hey mate, yeah it's pretty responsive. Some things lag a little bit, honestly barely noticeable, but that seems to be a product of the head unit's processing power rather than Android Auto itself. Never had any random issues, it is a wired connection though, some newer HUs have wireless Android Auto which I can't speak for. Makes phone calls from the HU flawlessly, can even use voice controls if you have google assistant set up. Honestly, for me Android Auto is a game changer. You use google maps for nav, so you never have to worry about manufacturers updates on your HU maps. Control for music apps like Spotify is great, its just like using it on your phone, just can't search from the HU, probably intentional to limit driver distactions. You can still use other apps while connected, I've parked up and played Pokemon Go while streaming Spotify with no performance issues for example. I won't ever go back to a non Android Auto HU now. Hopefully this helps mate.

@@Aussielinesman how’s the music streaming sound quality in android auto mode?

Brian Batica Hi there! Yes that is true this unit does have dual phone connection. It works really well, you pair the first phone and it does phone calls plus audio and the second phone is phone calls only and they work together. It works well!

Vishan Nunkoo Hi mate! Yep all things should still work. Definitely volume and track up down. Phone buttons are sometimes in compatible, usually there is a way to get them to work though - if plug and play module doesn’t work, a hard wire module should. Just check to confirm when you buy the parts. Short answer is yes everything will be retained. 4 camera parking system cannot be retained (not here in Aus anyway)

Have the same problem choosing, what did you end up getting if I may ask?

Peakabooicu Legend :). The capacitive touch is 10x better man I’d go for that one but if it’s still out of stock this is still a solid little unit

@@TheFittingBay How do you know if a head unit has a capacitive touch screen?

@@wizz747 you can feel the difference otherwise you’ll need to look up the specs via part number and check

@@TheFittingBay Sure, thanks mate! I'm considering getting the Z5250BT itself 😊

Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!

Di Mello Try the park brake trick :)

Geoff Nightingale Nope it should work straight away. Have you downloaded the Android Auto App? Does the phone charge when it’s plugged in? Have you looked for software update on the phone. Unfortunately android auto is very temperamental and not always straight forward. Just make sure you have the following and let me know. Thanks

It’ll work and steering wheel ctrls will work too with the correct module

@@TheFittingBay Thanks buddy!

Eimear Silk You’ll need a kit. Or separately you’ll need : Facia, Steering wheel control module, antenna adapter.

@@TheFittingBay Thank you!

Hey mate thanks for the feedback! The best two wireless CarPlay units right now are Kenwood DDX9019DABS and the Pioneer AVH-Z9200DAB . Both units are PACKED with features. They’re both fantastic quality and they both have 0 lag and run extremely well. The Kenwood has a capacitive touch screen (similar to a mobile device) the pioneer STILL has a resistive screen which is a little annoying but nothing to make a big fuss about. These two units both offer wireless CarPlay as you requested. They’ll both work in your Honda Accord with no drama.

The Fitting Bay Welcome! Ya that doesn’t make any sense why they keep using resistive screens. So being that the AVIC-w8500NEX has capacitive do you think this would be just as good as the AVH-z9200dab?

ilx-w650e stereo worth buying

darren apple Yes it’s a great little unit by Alpine. However you’re comparing an entry level (Alpine) to a flagship model (pioneer)

Chris Sorry mate I didn’t see this. We do not have access to that unit here in Aus, at least I’ve never seen it. If it has capacitive touch screen with similar features then I’d go with that. One other thing I’ve seen with this unit is it can be slow at times, they’ve jammed so many features into it without enough hardware inside to process it all.

That’s completely up to you :) glove box is standard spot but you can choose to do a flush mount somewhere, or run it somewhere else. Possibilities are endless

@@TheFittingBay But wouldnt it be easier if they put a usb connector on the front of the Head unit?

Angelo Limjoco Hey mate! Yep it’s just the software side of things really. But also they phase the older model out so the 52 replaces the 51.

@@TheFittingBay Thanks for the clarification :)

Roman Karabet it helps with gps reception on CarPlay and android auto so you don’t just rely on the phone gps :)

nah man you need the 6350bt :)

La memoria se reinicia por que el cable amarillo que se conecta a 12volts no se conecto a una linea constante de energia y ese cable es de memoria, y el problema de los videos es por que el cable verde largo que trae tienes que conectarlo al cable del freno mano(es lo que dice el manual) pero sirve conectando a cualquier negativo incluso al mismo de la radio

DOMENIC DI SANTI thank you 🙏🏽. I think it is better in terms of features and music equaliser. Only downside is this unit has a resistive touch screen. Sony has a capacitive touch. Other than that the pioneer unit beats it everywhere :)

johnpaul meneses Yes It can

Ziad Patel No it does not

shaun pearce Hi mate! Thanks for the feedback. Yep easiest way, Jump on www.aerpro.com and put your vehicle in on the home page. This will tell you all the parts you need. Just google the part numbers to order online otherwise it’s all stocked at your local autobarn / super cheap. You might need to order a part in. If you’re unsure on a part number or something else just comment on this and I’ll help. Thanks Nathan

@@TheFittingBay thanks mate!

Hey mate, I bought the wiring harnesses I needed and plugged it all in and it all works fine except when I turn the car off the unit stays on and I have to turn it off manually. Have you experienced this before? Cheers

shaun pearce Hey mate. Swap the yellow and red wires over. And try that. Also make sure it retains all memory features too. :)

Thanks for the reply, I tried swapping the red and yellow but no good. The ignition live still doesn’t drop to zero when car is turned off. Wondering if it’s an issue with the canvw harness

Roodog Gonebush try using it plugged in via USB

Upgrade the firmware of ur headunit and connect using weblink via USB

Unpair and forget Bluetooth on both devices and re pair :)

@@TheFittingBay did that already man nothin helps not even reseting do u think it might be software problem.?bug or somethin.?

@@beatsandwestside sweet as. Jump on pioneer website and look for a software update. If there is one available, download it and put on USB thumb drive and stick it into the USB part of the unit.

@@TheFittingBay no update im an latest update but anyways man thx

Roman Karabet Yes. You still need your phone gps as that’s what the app actually uses, your phone. The secondary GPS from the unit just helps with reception

Enes D Thank you! I would go with the alpine from these choices, second to that the pioneer.

The Fitting Bay thank you for your reply but people say alpine needs a bypass I don’t know what is this exactly, I suppose it’s about head unit not working whilst hand breaking is engaged. What should I do for this? By the way why did you choose Alpine? Could you please give me some details? Clairo has a better resolution i reckon. The most important thing is Apple CarPlay for me. It must work very well. I look forward to hear from you again.

Enes D No problem. All units need the bypass as they all have the handbrake wire. Easiest way is just connect it directly to ground (black wire on harness). It’s a safety feature with all head units. Easy to bypass. Alpine has capacitive touch. Pioneer doesn’t. Not sure about clarion. We don’t sell clarion but I’ve only heard pretty average things about it. So I won’t pick that. Pioneer and alpine both great but I’m a big fan of capacitive touch screen. Spoke to Alpine of Aus and they haven’t even returned 1 of these units yet for faults, in the Melbourne / SA region which is amazing. So you have a really good quality product and you can add the power pack and have amazing sound. Win/win.

The Fitting Bay thank you so much for your answer again. Which power pack would you recommend and what should I get for bypass exactly? Do you have a video or something for it? Because I have no idea about it. Regards,

Enes D Alpine have a specific power pack for that unit. Just jump on alpine website and type the part number in of the head unit and you’ll see it there. They promote the upgrade. Video for park brake wire- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqeFoJRos7S8gIE.html

No you do not. You might need relay if the has a certain type of taillight tho.

FatLittleNotebook Is this for when in Reverse gear for camera image?

@@TheFittingBay yes. dunno why pioneer have that thing on when its purpose is to have a clear view when reversing. hopefully theres a way to get the msg off. Thanks.

FatLittleNotebook Unfortunately there is not a way to remove the message :(

Douglas Feng How is your phone connected?

@@TheFittingBay When I prepare using Android Auto or WebLink, I connected by usb port. Android Auto will freeze on both sides (Pioneer show attention). WebLink will show App on Pioneer's screen, when I play Youytube, Pioneer play sound only.

Douglas Feng you need to do this : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqeFoJRos7S8gIE.html - will only work if you’re in Australia. Other parts of the world you’ll need to put it on a switch. Android Auto freezing most likely the phone as they sometimes have issues with AA. Look for software update or google the symptoms

@@TheFittingBay Many thanks, I will try it soon

Johnny Dryden Yes I believe it does

Danny Dee Yes you will need one. Jump on Aerpro.com and you can find it there

John Manalang Can do! 😀

Thank you! 😊 More power to your channel from Philippines 🇵🇭

John Manalang Thank you 😊

Is any difference for sound quality between z9250 and z5350bt? Thanks in advance 😁

Moey El Mazloum From bluetooth? It might be a setting in your phone if the settings in the unit do not mention it. I’ll look into it further

One of the hard buttons on the side turns it off :)

D I S C O N N E C T E D I think you might need to ground the park brake wire. Or just try engaging the park brake and see if that works.

@@TheFittingBay wow an actual response from youtuber. Im heading to shop but yesterday they dont seem to be specialized in tech so i just went home and the button on my steering wheel doesnt seem to work as well while it says in the box it should be. Im just driving a crv 2010 top of the line

D I S C O N N E C T E D Haha 😂. Ok for steering wheel controls you need to do exactly these steps: 1) press and hold the home button. Unit will turn off. 2) when it’s off, press only single press and it will then turn back on. 3) go directly to settings - nothing else. 4) steering wheel will be illuminated. IF NOT- then you need to ground the park brake wire.

@@TheFittingBay i tried it and i have an option to press the steering wheel settings but still buttons not working with adapter and the other option which is without adapter and still cant detect it or somethinf when pressinf buttons

D I S C O N N E C T E D Then problem is with the installation or the product. Try unplugging the module and plug back in (connects2 modules) sometimes just need to be reset

animasz nice 👍🏽

@@TheFittingBay I got it working fine. However, I noticed that while the phone is attached to the usb, I cannot make outside calls.

Benchie Hern What phone is it? Have you tried USB?

@@TheFittingBay hi yes I've tried USB and it's a samsung 8

@@TheFittingBay video comes out in car screen but sound only comes out from phone and not car speakers .

Benchie Hern Video? That shouldn’t happen. You mean you can watch KZfaq through the screen with USB only? Try a new genuine Samsung cable. Also go through the audio settings on the phone. It will be one of these two things. If you can, also try another device just to confirm it’s not the unit 😊

@@TheFittingBay thanks ill try tuen follow up bvb with results

Sikander Mohammed No sir it cannot

darren apple On paper, yes. It has more features and is a flagship model for Pioneer. The Alpine has a better (capacitive) touch screen.
