  1. It's cool but I wouldn't buy it or drive it.....is take pics and get a demo of it at the shows tho
  2. I'll rewire the relay cause what I posted above is what I found from another site and it is wired differently from what you said, so ill try your way later when I get home. Prolly tommorro and report back, I'm also gonna ground the rcas going from the eq to the amp and see if that helps. Engine noise is such a known problem with pioneers I don't know why they don't spend the money on fixing the pico fuse so it can't blow or something, its not like their a small company and hurting for money...just my .02
  3. Right now I'm just using the usb for my ipod if I can get this headunit to work with the relay and get rid of the ground noise ill buy the ipod buss adapter you listed above after i jailbreak my iPad and kasey helps me fiberglass that into the dash so video will show on that screen and the others I put in so I can use my phone as a hotspot and watch netflix on all the monitors. That's only if I can get this headunit working right
  4. Same here like I said my Kenwood had far better sq but then again it was the best non screen deck they made at the time and.this 4100 isn't pioneers best so I obviously can't compare other than right now with the problems I'm having I sure miss my Kenwood lol
  5. Not in my case I went through multiple pioneer head units and had one as a spare then sold my avic n1 (it was old yes I know but still a good unit) and bought a top of the line excelon unit without a screen and it had way better sound quality and way more adjustability....it was the x993 and I traded it for this 4100, and loved that kenwood unit so if I can't get the problems fixed with this pioneer I'll be selling it and going back to kenwood. Hopefully Matt can show me how the relay needs to be wired cause I know a toggle switch will work I just don't wanna have to flip one every time. I'm gonna try to ground out the rcas from the eq to the amp and see if that stops it. I did read about the pico fuse and heard its a common problem. The RCA swap I'll try later today as well as grounding out the rcas from the eq to the amp, and hopefully Matt can tell me how his relay is wired and ill try that to see if it works, if not I guess a toggle switch is my only option. Or sell it and save up and go to a kenwood unit with a screen so I can still use the back up camera I bought and installed. I'll start it up again and look for the ok while it's hooked up to the relay but if Matt is saying his relay has power going to it mine doesn't only a remote wire. But there is a peg in the middle left open and if that needs a 12v I'll put it there to work. Thanks for the help guys...I hope we can get this solved I really do like the look of the deck and don't wanna go through the hassle of selling it, being without one and waiting for a new one, I would just like to get the relay working and as much if not all of the noise gone.
  6. I'm running the eq because 1 I already had it and 2 I'm going to be running so many amps on the mids and highs I want the adjustability of the output voltage because right now its set to 6 volts and the deck puts out 4 iirc plus with as many speakers as I'm gonna be running I want the extra control a eq gives me. Matt are you using a relay for your 4100 or 4300 to bypass the parking brake wire? If o can you tell me how its wired cause there is one open prong I could put power there cause right now on the relay its double ground, remote and parking brake wire just like i posted above and kasey thanks for the video I already watched it and have it wired just like that. As far as the eq putting more noise into the system I hooked the rcas to single 4 channel in there now to the deck, same amount of noise as hooked to the eq. I even tries grounding out the rcas in from the deck on the eq and just made a bunch more.noise I'm gonna try new rcas from deck to eq tommorro and try grounding out the rcas from the eq to the amp...worth a shot. If you could tell me how your relay is wired Matt it would help a lot cause like I said I did it exactly how its done in the video and this website I found. Id like to be able to just get everything fixed in this one, its a nice unit and I already have the back up camera hooked up and am in the market for some real cheap 7" monitor's, just havnt found any yet.
  7. Pin 85 goes to ground (loop these 2 together with the short piece of black wire) Pin 30 Goes to ground Pin 86 Goes to remote ( Blue) Pin 87 Goes to Parking Brake wire (Green) I did that and it still dosnt work, the dvd still dosnt show on the screen, maybe the relay is bad or since you did a relay too maybe you can tell me if this is right. But if I can't get rid of ground noise then I'm gonna get rid of the pioneer deck, I was anti pioneer for after my avid n1 had problem after problem and wanted to try a new one hoping they fixed the obvious problems but apparently not.
  8. It could be a bad rca to the eq....I doubt it, all of the rcas I use are rockford fosgate but ill swap the one from the deck to the eq and see if that gets rid of all the noise. I'll tell you how I have the relay wired and you can tell me if its right cause I googled it and this is what I found...
  9. Ok I did a trade for this unit and looks wise I like it but its pissing me off and I'm about ready to pull it out and sell it and buy something else. I can't get it to play dvds I keep getting the can't watch while vehicle is in motion. I tried grounding out the parking break wire then found a website where they talk about using a relay to use it to simulate the parking break being engaged but it still dosnt work that way either. I could always use a toggle switch but don't really want to, then there is the ground noise I already grounded the rcas and they go to the eq and the alternator whine is still pretty Damn loud, I'm out of ideas on what else to do to cut down on it. The deck itself is nice and I like it but the dash install kit I got from scosche is a piece of shit so ill have to end up getting a new metra one but if I can't fix the ground noise so its not so bad and get the movie to play without a toggle switch I'm just gonna pull it out and try to make my money back on it. If I turn the music up I can't hear the ground noise but even at volume 6 or so I can still hear it and no this isn't my first pioneer headunit but problems like this is why I got away from them. And before you ask the rcas and power and ground wire are no where near eachother. Any tips before I take it out and its in the for sale section? Lol
  10. Had a great night....got fucking hammered I never once didn't have a drink in my hand for over 6 hours, it was so much fun. I had people buying me drinks left and right....good thing ill pretty much drink anything except gin but both places we went to didn't serve it so I was good to go and we went to spencers gag store before hand to get 21 stuff so I wore a black ribbon that said I'm 21 buy me a drink and the other one was a big round pin thing and it said I was 21 also and said more stuff but had a spinner and you would spin it and it would land on beer, my choice, your choice, mixed drink or shot....everyone was spinning it and that fucked hit shot ALOT and they always got a double shot never a single. It was cool though got so drunk and all I had to do was pay for the cab ride to the bar from our hotel and from the bar to our hotel which was only 12 bucks. Definitely the best birthday ever
  11. That it has, just like I said on Facebook it seems like just the other day I was at your house for the first time getting demos of the hooptie when it was raw and everything. I'm real lucky to know you unk you have always been nothing but kind to me and my mom, your one hell of a guy and no matter what anyone says you deserve everything you have accomplished and more. Thanks for everything uncle Steve
  12. I can't get drunk on beer I get full before I get drunk so its shots for me tonight and jack and cokes or rum and cokes and trust me I won't remember most of tonight.

I know for you sac people its a bit of a drive but its gonna be a hell of a night. I know some users live in yuba that's not to far of a drive and so on....if your cool come have a brew. Just be respectful cause ill have family there. After the bear we are all going to another bar a few streets over called rileys and another after I don't know the name of. If your coming and get to drunk don't drink and drive there is cabs all over and the hotel I and some other family is staying at is called the budget inn and only a mile from where we will be.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes too

Anyone is welcome to go that is local and dosnt mind a drive if you live in sac. We are meeting at the bear in chico at 9 then going to rileys a couple streets over later in the night, all I ask if you come let me know and be cool cause ill have some cousins and other family there but the more the marrier.

  16. the car looks hella clean and i love the way the amp slides in an out i just hope there are some fans or something in there for when its in and playing, the tractor obviously took some time...its not my style but im not hating at all its sick you put alot of time and work into it and you can definitely tell.

  19. Is mine finally in yet Rusty? I want the other design I know it was taking so.long cause it was a special size its been.a while though
  20. I have had both and IMO the XL sounds better by far at any level, then again I never had really enough power to give the 5s, only 3500 but I got louder and was happier with the sound quality increase and louder when I quote unquote downgraded to xls
  21. I think you should keep the wall in the burban if you take it out your.never going to get that truly stock feeling again just downgrade and put alot into the TB.....sell all the xls and fill it full of m2 lvl 3s and a single amp then go bat shit crazy on the TB stripper pole is a must though right off the bat cause I remember reading he couldn't even get all it had to give before she blew
  22. Very nice...I've always wanted to do a suv with 2 of those bad boys but in 18s on 2 12ks......oh to dream no way I would put them in my truck, I'd want them inverted to show off the sexy backside and can't be done in my situation, can't wait to see vids of it in your stang tearing it apart
