Has anyone done this before/are there pictures up for this? Also...I currently have an annoyance with my factory bluetooth set up - when I use it the soundcomes out of only ONE speaker - the front right one...with the new HU can this be fixed to come through all the speakers?

 

Another quick question Wrathernaut I have the 06 coupe with Navi and voice control and I was reading somewhere that if you have the voice control you need the Pac Steering wheel controls not the Metra. Will the Metra still work or do I need to get the Pac-Swi-Ps for the Pioneer 8400bh.

 

Where is this "somewhere" that has all this wrong information people are getting? The factory bluetooth adapter receives the steering wheel buttons before the headunit does, so long as it is bypassed, either will work. The Metra Axxess and PAC SWI-PS both work off the same signal, so it makes no difference which you use, but the Axxess requires less soldering and programming, so it's the way to go.

 

Nah, nobody's ever posted up pictures of it. The factory mic sucks, so there's not really much reason to re-use it.

The factory bluetooth won't work with the new stereo.

 

wanna power up my interior front and back speaker not a sub so I'm thinking about the 4 channel alpine amps. Am I better off with the 4 channel or should I still go with the 2 channel I have.. Sorry audio is not my field of knowledge.

This is the amp

 

i got some cool new tips and tricks that i ran across... to control everything on the iphone and any apps.. need to have the specail advance app plug .. lmk

 

What aftermarket AMP and power is recommended to power all the speakers with the 8400. I ordered this AMP last year for my old car and never used it - it's still in the box I think ...

 

The headunit really doesn't matter as to what amp you use, but that amp... doorstop. The 8400's built-in amp is probably just as powerful. If you're powering stock speakers, the built-in amp is fine. If you're doing aftermarket speakers, the power needed varies based on what speakers you put in.

 

What amp would you recommend that would then be able to power the bluetooth phone reception to all the speakers as the stock system i only hear audio out of one speaker (front passenger side).

 

The 8400's built-in bluetooth will go to all the speakers, the factory bluetooth adapter won't be used at all.

 

 

I saw in a previous post that someone listed everything they will be buying with this headunit......

But could someone please list everything I would/should buy for this headunit for a 2007 Coupe? Thank you

My question is.. I just got this unit the other day (have not installed yet) and i'm trying to figure out.. the app feature.. I have an andriod (samsung galaxy s3).. will i be able to use the apps on my phone with this unit.. I read somewhere if you buy the cable for the unit.. it will allow you to play movies and music that is on your phone directly to this unit (8400bh). Is that true or false?

I ahve an SG3 too so I am hoping for a fast response as my radio comes in today as well...
