Hey guys,
Does anyone have experience with this head unit?
I am getting this head unit in the mail and i wanted to know if it works as advertised with the mogul. I want to use it as a BT speakerphone and stream sirius.
Are there any tricks or tips for use with this head unit?
I am REALLY excited about it but I want to be prepared for it in case there are things I need to know.
Thanks guys!
Pioneer Premier DEH-980BT
I have the DEH-980BT (first model with bluetooth). Make sure you pair the pioneer head unit with your phone and after pairing register the phone in the pioneer unit (read the pioneer instructions) if you still have problems change the following registries in your phone
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS\COD
Change to 5898764
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGPBModule
Change OEM to \Windows\BthAGPhonebook.dll
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule
Change OEMAGW.DLL to \Windows\vcbthag.dll
You might still have problems setting both hands free and wireless stereo at the same time. I only have only hands free set on my phone and its works great.
I have the DEH-7900BT and it works flawlessly. I have to initiate the pair from the phone in order to get things setup, but once I have paired them the phone auto connects every time I get in the car and both the handsfree and stereo audio work as advertised. AVRCP even works correctly.
speaking of pioneer HU
has anyone tried the OEL screensaver studio appz ?
is there a site of people's creation available on the net ?
i can't find anything about it.
BTW, i have the 980BT unit and its top notch !
wait, so this radio has bluetooth streaming music right??, because i bought the Pioneer DEH 6250 BT and it doesn't have that function so i sold this 6250 to my friend and i was looking for this one 7900 because i thought it would bluetooth streaming music audio
why would one not use a cheap FM transmitter to do the audio to stereo? They charge the phone, use less power, and are like 4$ on amazon?
FM Transmitters SUCK!
1. Audio quality is crap compared to BT2
2. No A2DP support with a FM transmitter (on screen track info on your stereo, track fwd/back control, etc)
3. Noisy interference with other cars, towers etc.
How do I connect the hero to the car stereo so I can listen to music through the speakers?
first you are going to need a bluetooth adapter or stereo that supports BT. Then pair them up and play. other option would be an aux connection.

Is there an adapter that uses cigarette lighter?
any mp3 player device that plugs into headphone port will work. Like the fm transmitter devices, that do plug in through the lighter. Just go to the mp3/ipod section at wal mart or best buy, they'll have it

DO you have an aftermarket stereo? If your stereo is stock, what is the year make and model of your car and i'll to see if you have the direct hookups. If you want great sounding music through your phones mp3 player, pandora, and ect.. this is the only way to do it (plugging split rca's in the back of the stereo and the other end into the headphone jack)
If your not so much into quality and just want to hear the music in your car a simple bluetooth device that someone reccommends on this thread would work - if your head unit supports bluetooth music streaming. Just because it has bluetooth on ur stereo it may only be limited to incoming and outgoing calls.
Then your only left with an FM Transmitter (worst sounding quality) not even the most expensive one will come close to the first two options you have above.
Post more details and I can help you. I'm very knowledgable with car electronics and installation.
Good luck

Thanks, It's for my wifes 2003 Honda CRV with stock stereo. I don't think there are any connections we can use. I believe we will have to use the cassette adapter (puke), but they are cheap...$5-$6 on ebay....
well, a cassette adapter is better than an FM transmitter.

Thats what I thought as well. Think that is what we will do.....
Yup you do have one connection that you can plug into. Its the cd changer port in the back... Theres an aftermarket harness that connects to a converter which comes with a cable that has 3.5mm tip on the end. This would be your best and actually not to difficult option. If you want to go with the super simple route then yeah cassette adaptor is what is used by many and its actually not that bad. Better than using an fm transmitter.

Thanks, but I'll stick with the cassette adapter, wife doesn't spend enough time in the car to warrant much else......
So I love my incredible...best phone ever...haha. Which is why I'm making all these changes to accommodate it!
I was playing with it yesterday, and I ran pandora and navigation at the same time- during which, I called myself, and the phone call went thru. No freezes, no glitches, nothing. So Instead of just having cords galore when plugging into my car. Can I just buy a bluetooth cardeck and sync it with my phone and go from there?
Has/Is anyone doing this now? Advice is always appreciated- Thanks in advance!
I have a PIONEER FH-P800BT and its great. Bluetooth works great for calls and A2DP streaming. When streaming audio alerts come through also, so you may want to pick some that arent too obnoxious. Ipod controls work pretty well too if your into that sort of thing.
I use a bt stereo too. It works awesome. People can here me well and I stream music all the time. As soon as proclip comes out with the Incredible device holder, I'll be all set. I use a JVC KD-BT1 head unit.
I am using a Kenwood BT200 and I also seem to have no issues with music and phone calls
I don't have my Incredible just yet but I've been using a Motorola T505 Bluetooth in my car since before I got my G1 and haven't had any issues with it. Had it about two years now. It has a built-in FM Transmitter so I'll listen to Pandora or my own music through my car stereo even when people call me I'll hear it through the speakers. No one ever reported not being able to hear me clearly when using it.
I was thinking about this some more and the more I think about it, the more I don't think Pandora will play via bluetooth. You will definitely be able to play from your library

Yep, pandaora and slacker work via a2dp
Yes. I have DUAL head unit and works fine with A2DP BlueTooth with my Incredible and yes Pandora plays thru A2DP with no problem. So, go ahead and do what ever U R thinking of doing.
awesomee..thanks everyone..so i really just need to find a unit that has A2DP..cool. I was wondering what the difference between call placing and audio streaming in terms of bluetoothin' !!
I just ordered a Motorola T605 for my car (2001 RX300 without nav) and a Parrot MKi9000 for my wife's car (2006 saturn ion). I would have prefered to get the moto for both (since it's $100 cheaper), but her radio doesn't have a mute switch and probably would have been harder to install. I'm going to do the install in the coming weeks myself.
Kenwood DNX6140 BT setup works great
I have the kenwood unit in my Trailblazer EXT and got the car bracket at VZW store. The suction cup places the phone way out of convient reach any way you try so I use the holster part with a vent clip that I had from another mount from an XM unit I tossed in favor of Pandora. Nav, Pandora, anything else runs fast and flawlessly, phone calls great.

I have almost the exact same head unit. Works pretty well, I reviewed it here:
FH-P8000BT Review
I have an interesting challenge. I have an Audi A4 convertible 2009 with bluetooth that enables me to talk on the phone with my EVO. I am not sure it is the "special" kind of bluetooth that will let me listen to music on my radio sent via the bluetooth to the car's speakers. If it is possible, I dont' know how to do it.
Also..is there anyway that I can broadcast via my EVO to an empty FM station? Has anyone ever heard of doing that? I just want to listen to music and no, there is NO aux jack in the car.
Thanks
Mike
lol, its not a 'special' thing
bluetooth supports different things.... and they are called profiles
for a detailed list of profiles (and to learn something click on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#List_of_profiles )
what you are looking for is, for your device to support the a2dp profile aka advanced audio distribution profile.
inorder for you to stream to an 'empty' fm station, you still NEED an a2dp device... it'll just be coupled with an FM transmitter
i.e. http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-tra...XBY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287857216&sr=8-1
or
http://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Bluet...YVRO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1287857216&sr=8-9
if i was you, i would check if the option is available on my cd player first...
i wouldnt recommend bluetooth, atleast not if you have a stock evo, its just too low quality to enjoy, better off using a audio cable, an fm transmitter probably wont sound that much better then bluetooth, if you have caynanogen or another rom a lot of them do fix the bluetooth issue
This is what I do. Turn on my EVO's bluetooth and let it pair with my car. Once the pairing symbol appears on my cars audio display, select Bluetooth as an audio source on my car's stereo. I have FM1, FM2, AM, CD, Aux and Bluetooth. Now start Music on the Evo and turn up the volume at least half way on the Evo. Now I control the volume with my car's steering wheel volume control.
I think the part you are missing it to select Bluetooth as the audio source on your car stereo.
I plug mine into car stereo using headphone jack to amp input for slacker radio listening.
Its also a great battery life saver when EVO volume is at lowest level let car stereo amp do the work
Hello All,
Galaxy S4 user x1 month and I absolutely love it!
I'm installing an aftermarket stereo head unit in my car, with bluetooth (Kenwood KDC-X896). I chose this head unit for the reviews and sirius-xm and a few other options available on it. http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/2012_Car_Entertainment/KDC-X896
Along with the install of the head unit, I am installing a Rocketfish Bluetooth Receiver with apt-X capability. The reason I'm installing the Rocketfish Bluetooth is to make use of the apt-X on the Samsung Galaxy S4. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...11138&ref=39&loc=01&CJPID=6149808#tab=reviews
The plan is to pair my phone with the Rocketfish play my music collection off my Samsung Galaxy S4 through the bluetooth Rocketfish (using apt-X) which is power-sourced to the car battery (switched) and plugged into the Kenwood head unit's AUX plug. This should provide brilliant sound from my phone through the car speakers.
QUESTIONS
1. Since the Kenwood head unit has bluetooth functionality as well, do you foresee any interference or issues with music playing through my phone?
2. Is it possible to pair the phone to the Kenwood head unit (to use phone via car speakers) IN ADDITION TO the Rocketfish (for music)?
3. If number 2 doesn't work, is it possible to go through the Rocketfish for audio and then switch to bluetooth on the Kenwood head unit for incoming calls?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
I guess it depends on the profiles offered by the Kenwood. My setup is to connect to the BMW inbuilt Bluetooth hands free, connect to an aptX Samsung receiver with a headphones out port plugged into the aux port of the car audio. When I get a call, it switches to the hands free automatically

Check out an app called sound about. You can choose what device different audio uses. For example you have media to be played through head unit and phone calls through you're other bluetooth device

Hi, thanks so much for a fast response! It sounds like what you're doing with your BMW is similar to what I'm wondering if my new setup can do.
A few questions:
1. The headphones out port you refer to - is this from the aptX Samsung receiver to the aux on your car audio head unit? (That's what I'm hoping to do with my Rockefish device). (Or are you referring to your headphones out port from your phone to the aux on your car audio?)
2. What kind of aptX Samsung receiver do you have in your car? (Can you post a link?) Is it similar to the Rocketfish?
3. Are you using specific apps on you phone to help in this situation, or is it as easy as it sounds?
Thanks again!

1. The former. Headphones out port from the apt x receiver to the head unit. The phone has nothing physically attached
2. HS3000. Google brings up loads of results for it.
3. No specific apps. Just regular bluetooth, with Play Music running .
