Has anyone heard of this unit? I was thinking about getting it because I don't need the navigation. I am trying to find out if the PAC SWI-PS will work with this. I can't find any details as to whether or not this unit has a wired remote port. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

 

I think you meant AVH-P6800DVD. Yes the SWI-PS will work.

 

This is what I was looking at on Pioneer's website: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...s/AVH-P6000DVD

 

It actually looks like the same unit... weird. Does the PAC unit plug into the AUX input port on the HU? That's the only matching plug I can see on this picture towards the bottom: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/pictures.php?id=12294

 

no the aux is not it, there is a line on one of the harness that you connect to, can't seem to see it in the picture. But it should be on there. You can't miss it, it says remote in on it.

 

Sweet, I'll take your word on it. Thanks bud!

 

Crack...
I have the AVH-P6000DVD and you can't use the SWI-PS with this unit. The 6000 doesn't have the direct remote jack ("wired remote input") in the back. You need to use the PAC SWI-X. This has an IR eye that transmits to your unit.


Don't know exactly what you are referring to here. Any "remote" wire on the harness would be the "remote turn-on" lead.

 

If you would like to check for yourself, here is the link to the installation manual. You will notice that there is no "wired remote input"

Awesome, thanks! I'll switch that order then. What do you think about that HU? Are you using the additional USB thingie? I was thinking about picking that up too so I can play stuff off memory sticks and hard drives.

 

I like it a lot. I use the iPod interface on it which works well.

 

Where did you put/mount the IR end of the SWI-X in the car? From your pic I assume you've got a coupe too?

 

my bad, the 6800 and z1 has direct wire input, so I thought it might have a plug on one of the harness as well.

 

Actually haven't installed my SWI-X yet so I haven't looked into where to put the IR.

 

I just installed mine today. My G is an AT so I actually drilled a small hole in the back left of silver shifter area... kind of hard to explain. It's the vertical trim that is above the leather boot. I'll have to take a pic and post it tomorrow. Works great from there though (at least on my HU) which was awesome.

 

As promised here's some shots of where I put the IR remote:
