Hi,

I am thinking of buying a pioneer head unit (the 6950 one), from ebay since they are much cheaper. Will the AM/FM work? it is located in Singapore.

i also read on these forums Pioneer head units don't have an power antenna wire? is this still the case or have they now got one?

thanks

my brother got a pioneer head deck from overseas via ebay, and he's had no problem with it whatsoever. he got it from one of those cheaper e-bay stores that sell head decks. i have o idea about the antenna thing though, he hardly listens to the radio and his antenne doesnt work (or maybe it isnt even electric) its always up.

I just bought the model below your one P5950IB for my R34. I bought it cheap locally, connections from Strathfield car radios and installed with a case of beer as payment. Dodgy i know

As for the antenna, i don't know about that, as the R34 antenna is on the back windscreen? best to find out about the antenna thing buy downloading the manual from the Pioneer website.

Apparently the installer told me that i would need to buy some sort of adapter to convert the radio signals. This adapter should be like $15. I didn't need to install it cos he told me one was already installed. Could have been installed for compliance?

So all Pioneer decks will have the antenna up all the time? thats pretty crap design by Pioneer.

Can anyone recommend a good deck with direct ipod control and USB?

I have a 9850BT and the power antenna works fine, although my one is localy bought i would not reccomend pioneer, moving to an alpine soon.

I know back in the old days you could use the amp remote for the power antenna, dont know if you still can.

I sell them. you will alos need the antenna adapter as well. factory amps are a rarity in those. if you have the holograpic sound option it will have amplifiers on the speakers. no biggie they are speaker level anyway.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
