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.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
