So I have a pioneer avh-p4100dvd reciever and I was wanting to upgrade to the 4300. I was wanting to know if the wiring harnesses are the same between the two models. I hated doing all that cutting and splicing the first time and I would dred needing to do it all again. If the harnesses are the same it'd be a lot easier to switch out recievers and I'll go ahead and do it. If not, I might just live with the one I have.

 

It looks the same to me. I'd say it's worth the gamble.

Thanks, looks like the bottom one has more pins in the top middle row......kinda hard to tell.

 

8 Pins across on both, I'm pretty sure it's an identical plug, and every wire I can make out clearly is in the same position.

 

ah, I see now, the angle of the picture is blocking the pins....thanks

 

I am kinda wanna upgrade too just for the pandora function. But I have a p4200

 

Pandora can stream over bluetooth to the P4200, you just won't get anything but the audio, and maybe skip track.

 

But I would néed the blutooth adaptor right? Can I use a diff. Blutooth adaptor besides the expensive pioneer one?

 

Well, I talked to a pioneer tech ealier today to find out if the harnesses were the same. He said that it might work or that some functions might work and others not depending on if some of the pins were switched around between the two recievers. He said there was no way to know other than trying it out.
