Bullrun Neutral Newbie December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 U can install a booster, which I did. Thank you bro. I called Pioneer, they recommended the same thing or an external antenna. They are saying the reception depends on the car antenna routing. But I think the 8850 tuner is not very good. FM/AM is a legacy technology, how can such advance system can't receive FM Radio properly. Good luck guys. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In actual fact is it because Singapore is still using FM Analog radio instead of DAB. There would not be interference for Digital Audio Broadcast. Cheers!

Macrosszero Turbocharged May 1, 2018 Share May 1, 2018 Anyone facing issues with the 8850BT? My unit keeps hanging recently Did you change anything recently? You also need to describe what your setup is. I would be quite surprised if you've got nothing connected and it keeps hanging. Might be indicative of hardware failure if that were the case.

Mr_biscuit 3rd Gear May 1, 2018 Share May 1, 2018 Unit took long time to boot up Sometimes black screen after reboot Buttons not responding Pretty strange for your scenario, especially for a Pioneer HU. Is this happening very long or recently? Did you just purchase or take over this ride? If Yes, you may want to contact your Dealer to assist you to send to their appointment audio shop to troubleshoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewWong_206089 Neutral Newbie June 10, 2018 Share June 10, 2018 Hi All, Need help. I am playing videos from a USB stick on the Pioneer AVH-X8850BT. It does not look like there is a random (i.e. shuffle) play mode which is odd, at least to me. Has anyone been able to have random play mode when playing videos from USB? Thanks so much!

YellowWillow Neutral Newbie August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 Hello, I'm debating between the X8850 and the Z5050 - which do you think is better especially sound wise? I can about the Carplay implementation too, does it work well on both units? Only one of them?Any thoughts or advice is appreciated, thank you! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
