Pioneer Headunit AUX Input Help

For anyone who has a Pioneer headunit and wants to hook up something to the auxillary input they read about when buying the headunit, there is a cheap way!

I checked out the official Pioneer connectors and found that they're actually just tapping into the correct pins on the "P-Bus" connector.

Cheaper Alternative

Do it yourself! You can either make up some kind of connector, or just hook into the pins you need. The following is a partial pinout for the connector:

I also managed to get hold of the schematic for the Pioneer CD-RB20 gizmo (1mb):

I put this connection together today, but my head-unit doesn't recognise my iPod. The Source button just cycles through CD and radio.

I have connected four wires (as pictured above) to a left/right RCA cable and I've plugged my iPod into the RCA cable via the headphone output. What am I doing wrong?

turn your head unit off. when its off hold down the function button for 5 seconds. a menu will come up where you can enable AUX which is the IPbus connector. You can also rename it like when you name a CD by holding down audio i think when it is selected and you can call it iPod instead of AUX

I was looking at the Pioneer AUX Input option but then i thought to myself, i could do this myself. Screw buying one of the RB20 thingo's when I already have one in my engine bay.

I have a basic Pioneer DEH-P2050, it has the IP-BUS thingo but no Aux Inputs but I remembered reading i could switch to AUX etc. which had my puzzled when I installed the stereo.

When i bought my iPod I was going to get myself an iTunes unit but read they are pretty shitty, even on their own website they dont say its that crash hot. Then I my manual said something about AUX input so I had a quick look at the stereo again, I then pulled it apart to find on the MotherBoard of the deck it has the AUX input solder points. I simply soldered some wires and some RCA cables onto this and booyah, I had myself some AUX inputs :)

After doing it I found on caraudioaustralia some guy found the same thing and he has also taken a photo of it to show where it is.

Very helpful and it saved me $180 for the official Pioneer device.

MARCUS,

do you have any schematics or manuals to suit cd tuner deh-236 (pioneer).

If not do you know where I can get one from.

many thanks

Marcus :flamed:

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
