Pioneer AVH-8450BT

[Dmzalarm]

is there an option to add in a GPS function in the headunit? not like those have to plug in phone then can use the app.

 

 

same as other pioneer HU, you can add GPS module to it. either the ones from pioneer (AVIC) or third party ones. auto image carries them.

 

i personally like garmin external unit so i don't have experience with those built in ones.

Can recommend me a shop for this head unit at the east area? Thks.

how much do you think it'd roughly cost?

Cant remember exactly, probably in the range of 350. To me, external ones make more sense because of the accuracy, regular map update etc.

Yes, mine is install with third party GPS module with Papago 8.5 Navigation system. Use own SLA map and malfree Papago map. Update monthly. Go to ST Mobile. They help me install this when I got my P8450BT. Using it till now. Very accurate. I also install DVBT module where I can watch very clear digital TV channel and record them while driving.

how much is the total installation?

[Gdspd08]

Hi, total approximate include installation (cable and etc) about $1700 with Pioneer P8450BT.

my 8540 was having issue. i went back to auto image to take it out. they were willing to bring it to pioneer for me.

 

i asked them about the price of 8550 and asked them whether i can trade in the faulty one since it is still within warranty (few more days left). they took my 8450 for $450. price for 8550 is $950. so i paid 500 for it.

 

they don't have the adapter kit (CDAH200C ) though, so i bought it from amazon for US$55, quite a bargain :)

 

wow $950?

I just bought 1. Plus installation is $860. Just the headunit alone.

Here is my problem:

 

I have the AVH-8450BT I updated firmware and bluetooth version for it to work with iPhone 5. I bought and connected the new iPhone 5 interface cable and lightning to vga cable and lightning to usb cable. Appradio mode is working. Now the problem is the bluetooth phone call quality is really bad and voice of the person talking with me keeps breaking up, although they can hear me with no problems. The weird thing is when i first pair the phone and radio together the sound quality is very good but when i turn the ignition key off and then on the radio turns on as usual but bluetooth quality suffers again. To make it work i have to disable then renable bluetooth on my phone then it works for this session until next restart. I also notice bluetooth song streaming also suffers a bit so does appradio mode reaction times, buts its not as bad or unusable like when placing calls. Can you please help me fix it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Recently just installed a avh 5550bt on my new ride. The installer told me this player is the same as 8450bt except it doesnt have detachable screen.Problem is i cant play all the videos stored in the same pendrive which i took out fr my 8450bt on my another car...i suspect it is the resolution and video format problem.

 

Anyone uses avh 5550bt here and whats the recommended video format and resolution for it?

[Kinbalight]

Is the AVH-X8550BT without detachable screen? Because the product website states that it has.

 

Heard some bros here got some "rattling" noise with HUs with detachable screens...is it still a problem?
