I just had a pioneer installed in a 2003 4runner and i have a couple of questions. it says the mute can be set to mute, or att, at -10db and -20db, but it only mutes even when set at the other 2 settings. also the ipod is hooked up with the ipod adapter and plays music, but wont play any videos, or the audio to go with the videos, any ideas?
maybe it needs a different adaptor to play vids, and needs to be in park with the parking break applied, and the wire for that needs to be grounded to the parking break for it to work. i installed a clarion in my sis's 09 murano that had the ipod cable to play audio, but the cable for video was another 60 bucks.
i just installed that exact unit into my Scion, as far as your mute button issue its supposed to lower the volume or turn sound off, my guess would be that you did not connect that mute wire on the harness.... as far as the ipod cable, if you are using just a regular (white) ipod cable you will get ONLY audio.... the cable that you need is : Pioneer CD-IU50V, i bought mine for $17 on ebay... that will allow you to get video and audio capability. now as far as getting video to work, the other guy is right.... you do need to stretch that super long lime green wire to the e-brake to be able to get video, i however installed a switch that i flip to be able to bypass that e-brake requirement.
i tried grounding it, they have something that prevents just a simple lime green wire to black ground.... it has something to do with timing of when they key is turned... I've tried installing a 4 pin relay and it didn't work either.... strange
yea I have this unit in my 2001 mdx and grounding it won't work because as far as I can tell the unit works on a flip flop (for those electrical engineers out there), meaning that it looks for a change to ground not just the ground signal. I ghetto rigged a light switch in my glove box to simulate this.
I just got my iPod cable for the avh p4300 and when I select a movie through the deck it doesn't do anything (kind of) the song I'm listening to stops but it stays on the movies menu, I go back to the main screen and it says stop where the track name typically goes. I select videos from my iPod and it gives me sound but no video. I downloaded a couple tv out apps and I'm going to try again I have a parking break bypass, would this have anything to do with my problems?
your bypass is fine, as far as the headunit is concerned you have the e-brake applied at all times.... videos not playing i would say are in the wrong format, i had the same issue at one point with my unit.... is the warning screen (blue screen with "ok" button at the bottom) coming up at all?
