loganberry Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 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 Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have the same HU and love it. Use the relay, it does work. One thing i could never get the ipod video to work. As far as the noise goes, i get 0 noise from mine. Possible bad rca?

loganberry Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 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...

loganberry Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 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.

thehoe92 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 as for the EQ.. I wouldn't.I honestly don't see the need for an EQ with a Pioneer deck especially the 4100that EQ is probably introducing the noise into your system and trust me its a pain in the ass to get it to where there is no noise Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 100% sure but you need to have the power(red one) hooked up to the relay too At least that's how it is for the 4300 Edited January 10, 2012 by bre2ts Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to touch the blue screen to get through, I think its the continue button.

loganberry Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 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.
