Pioneer 9000 BT

Post by S4Player » Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:57 am

Had the pioneer 9000BT touch screen sat nav fitted yesterday just thought I would you all know my verdict the unit is superb very easy to use sat nav systems very simple and hooking up my iPhone via bluetooth is also very straight forward and I can add all my contacts onto the unit also has an sd card slot. I had the iPod cable fitted also so I just hook up the iPod and it allows me to search through my albums artists etc! I would definitely recommend this to any of you great piece of kit

Yours didn't have the Audi Sat-Nav? (neither does mine...)
Pics would be good, I'll probably add a system at some point.

If he's got the FBSW there are no steering wheel controls. Danny - do you get any background hiss with the volume low? I had a Kenwood 5240BT fitted in my Nissan 350z - which also had a Bose setup - and I had to use a line level adaptor box to get the output signals compatible with the Bose voltage levels. As a result there was always some low level background hiss. It was still a lot better than the original stereo though!

I am so tempted as I desperately want a2dp but these units are so nickable, I can't do it. I might get the alpine box instead

Alpines overpriced I had a look at some of there units cheapest good one was around 1100 fitted.I used to daft on audio so I've experienced almost every brand this one is up there with the kenwood dnx one I had in my golf although I must be honest and say I think the kenwoods sat nav is slightly better but the audio shop didn't have any in stock

Had a look today mate and it displays the radio and cd info on dis as per but it doesn't display iPod or iPhone music info on dis so everything works as you'd expect. if you do go for the same unit as me make sure it has the latest uk firmware update as the 1st units suffered slow startup and a few other faults the firmware corrected all that
