Just installed. It's a great unit for only $250
Pioneer FHP8000BT
*bluetooth phone (required in CA by July)
*iPod (included cable =5th gen or newer iPods)
*tUSB iPod Control on the FH-P800BT is compatible with iPod® (5th generation or later/Firmware Version 1.2 or later/iPod nano Version 1.2 or later). A 3rd or 4th generation iPod® requires CD-IB100II
*aux
*USB flash drive
*CD changer (but I didn't have the plug so I'll do that another time)
*wireless remote
aux & usb inputs for iPod, flash drive & aux (unsupported iPods, etc)
the center knob is like a rotary joystick. it's really cool, kind of iPod & joystick combined
this is a example of the bluetooth phone screen- just push the phone icon to hook up to your phone.
this is the scrolling list of music, you can toggle to just the track as well
nice remote to use the phone, etc
wiring harness options:
I have both aftermarket harness adapters for the LX450-
1. keep factory amp - I tried this as it is the most simple. only connect a couple wires and plug-n-play.
problem:The mid range & highs sound fine but the bass is terribly distorted. I don't know the cause.
I dialed down the bass on the headunit w/ no help. Crutchfield couldn't figure out what was wrong either.
This one did not work. couldn't figure out why
harness #1
2.bypass factory amp - this harness requires alot more hand work connecting wires and running an extension to from the headunit to the connectors over by the amp.
harness #2
this is what I ended up with- making an extension harness to reach the 2 plugs by the amp location.
