Pioneer avh-x8850bt review.

Advice needed. Just purchased the pioneer avh-x8850bt, 

Does anyone have it installed and are experiencing any issues? 

No Digital radio was a bit of a surprise bit apple car play and android auto are a plus.

Going to instal into my BNR34, any advice about rewiring the loom? 

Cheers guys xo

Not sure how relevant this is but I recently installed a Pioneer AVH x7850BT into my R32 GT-R along with an amp and new speakers.

Aerpro make the harness to connect but the thing to watch for is that the Pioneer connector socket is different on newer models. Aerpro may have updated the harness since I bought my stuff 6 months ago.

There is also a cable that needs to be wired to the handbrake activation sensor. Some discussion that this can be bypassed by earthing it instead but this didn't work for me. The more reading that I did implied that the head unit needs to be wired to the handbrake or there are devices that car audio shops use for demos that can simulate the same connection.

Parts that I bought from ryda.com below - which may differ to your R34.

Yeah on my daily i have the AVH-X5800DAB i just earthed the wire just behind the unit worked well, (see pic)

may be different on the newer model as u said, i saw the AV to ISO wiring harness too but the connection looked different to the one i had in my daily eventually i just had a friend wire up a new loom connector for me whilst i translated from the jap manual which coloured wire did what... aha... bit more concerned with the GTR though im a bjt more cautious dont want to fk up that wiring in any manner really.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
