Installing pioneer avh. Installation, Before installing this, Device – Pioneer AVH-X4600DVD Operating Instructions. Video: dismantling an old radio in a car without special tools



Let's look at the process of setting up the Pioneer AVH-X5700BT multimedia station in a system with a subwoofer section.

The car radio was installed in a 2008 Ford Explorer, the acoustics in the doors were replaced with Focal Integration series, the standard subwoofer housing was vibration-insulated and a new Hertz ES F20.5 speaker was installed in it, and an Art Sound XE 1K amplifier was installed on it. That is, our acoustics work from the built-in amplifier of the car radio, and the subwoofer is pumped by an external power amplifier. This is a very common system. Let's set it up.

First, let's go through the device's audio settings menu. To independently adjust the sound of the system, you need to understand all the possibilities of the audio settings of the car radio.

  • Graphic EQ - 13-band graphic equalizer. The number of bands is very good, with this number you will definitely achieve the ideal sound of your system.
  • Mixer/Balance - adjusts the volume front-to-back and right-to-left between the system speakers.
  • Suppression level - the level of muting the sound in the navigation mode from a smartphone.
  • Adjusting the level of sources - if one of the sound sources sounds louder or quieter than others, you can adjust its volume level so that there are no sound jumps when switching sources.
  • Subwoofer - enable or disable the subwoofer output of the car radio preamplifier.

  • Speaker level - adjusts the sound volume of the system's five main speakers relative to each other.
  • Crossover - adjusting the frequency cut to the front, rear and subwoofer.
  • Subwoofer settings - adjust the subwoofer cutoff, slope and phase.
  • Pos. prosl. - choosing the location of the listener in the car.
  • Time delays - adjust the time correction for the five main speakers of the system.

  • Synchronization preset - allows you to select the equalizer and time correction adjustment mode: manual or automatic and reset the automatic mode settings.
  • Auto EQ and TA - shows the result of automatic adjustment of time correction and equalizer.
  • EQ and TA Measurement - Automatically adjusts time correction and equalizer using an optional Pioneer microphone.
  • Save settings - saves the car radio settings in non-volatile memory.
  • Load settings - loads car radio settings from non-volatile memory.

  • Bass boost - bass boost at a fixed volume
  • Output to the rear speakers - select the sound mode of the rear speakers: full range or only low frequencies. This menu item is available for adjustment only when all sound sources are turned off, that is, the Off mode is selected in the main menu, accessible by pressing the central button and opening the AV mode.
  • Volume is a mistranslation from Pioneer. In fact, it’s correct - tone compensation, amplification of low and high frequencies at low volumes. There are three levels of adjustment. Used only on standard or simple acoustics. If there are external power amplifiers or a subwoofer in the system, it is turned off, since adding powerful bass and a ringing high to the path introduces distortion into the mid frequencies and spoils the vocals.
  • Automatic level control - changing the volume of the radio depending on the noise in the cabin.

So, let's set it up.

First of all, go to the “Equalizer” menu and select Custom setting, all adjustments in it should be “zeros”. Next, “Mixer/Balance” and check that the speakers in the car are connected correctly. We turn on each of the four speakers separately, check that it is in place and listen to the sound from it - the range should be full, without dips.

For rear speakers, we set the cutoff to 63 Hz with a roll-off slope of 12 dB.

For the subwoofer section, we set the cutoff on the Pioneer AVH-X5700DVD to 80 Hz with a roll-off slope of 12 dB.

In the "Speaker Level" menu we set -1 or -2 dB for the left speakers. They are closer to us, so it makes sense to make them a little quieter on the right side. We listen to see if the rear is shouting over the front so that the stage doesn’t go to the back. If he shouts, then we make the rear quieter to such an extent that he can be heard, but at the same time the front sounds louder. We are looking for a delicate balance between the sound of front and rear speakers. As a result, the rear should feel like it's playing, and the stage should be in front, not behind.

Next, go to “Time Delays” and set the distance to the speakers. Sitting in our place, we lean our head back on the headrest and measure the distance from the speakers to our nose and enter the values ​​into the radio. If the front is 2-component, then the distance to the tweeters is taken, since they form the scene. After setting the values, female vocals, male vocals are listened to, and the singer’s position in front of him is checked. If it is in the center, then the adjustment was successful; if it is shifted to the side, then careful manual correction of the values ​​is required.

Subwoofer. After setting the time correction values, you need to return to the “Crossover - Subwoofer” item and try to change the phase of the subwoofer. If in one position the sound is significantly better in terms of bass than in another, then the time correction is performed correctly, if there is no difference when changing the phase, then something is wrong in the time delay setting.

Equalizer. We perform it by ear, on a good track. General recommendations for most machines:

  • raise it by 100 Hz, in auto there is a dip at this frequency;
  • lower it by 3-4 kHz - the whine will disappear in female and male voices;
  • at the highest frequencies, pick it up - it’s nice when the cymbals ring.

Don’t forget to save all your settings on the non-volatile memory of the Pioneer AVH-X5700BT car radio, which is convenient when the battery is disconnected, for example, during maintenance at the dealer. The setup process is delicate and labor-intensive, so it is advisable to record it. After setting up the system, many people will ask: wouldn’t it be easier to take a Pioneer microphone and make all the settings automatically? I will answer: it’s simpler, but the result will not be the same as that obtained when tuning in with the soul for your loved one. Not even close.

Installation

In this review, we will take a look at two new multimedia models of Pioneer head units – Pioneer AVH-A100 and AVH-A200BT. In the manufacturer’s line, they belong to the entry-level models in 2DIN size with their own screen, but they are interesting primarily because they have in their arsenal functions that were previously available only in more expensive models.

It is noteworthy that in 2018, Pioneer changed the model designation principle, and formally the A series of multimedia devices replaced the AVH-190 and AVH-290BT models. However, it would be incorrect to compare with them directly. In fact, the A series turned out to be slightly superior to its predecessors in its equipment.

Pioneer AVH-A100 and AVH-A200BT are traditional CD/DVD/USB receivers in 2DIN size with their own 6.2-inch screen. The AVH-A200BT model, as you might guess from the name, is additionally equipped with a Bluetooth module. At first glance, nothing unusual. Indeed, all the basic functions that were present in previous generations of multimedia devices at this price level are present here and work flawlessly. Therefore, in our review we will dwell in more detail only on those features that highlight the new products and force us to pay special attention to them.

Design, ergonomics

Let's start our study from the outside. The 6.2-inch screen, as the description says, is made using technology Clear Type Touch Screen. The LCD matrix has a resolution of 800x480 pixels, which can be considered optimal for such a diagonal. The colors are bright and vibrant, and the viewing angles are good. The latter is especially important for car head units, because we always look at the screen at a slight angle. I liked it sensitivity resistive touch matrices, the screen responds to light pressure and does not force you to press on it.

The background of the menu can be changed, as well as the color of the button illumination. Let's count this as a plus, since it appears ability to customize color exactly under the standard lighting. Well, or just choose your own shade to suit your mood.



From the back of the device - three pairs of RCA connectors(the predecessors had two pairs), video output(you can connect, for example, monitors in the headrests for passengers in the rear row of seats), AUX input with the ability to supply a video signal to it (as it turned out, also with its own tricks), a separate rear view camera input(switching to it occurs automatically when reverse gear is engaged) and USB port. An extension cord for the latter is included in the kit. Plus connectors for connecting the steering wheel button adapter and a connector for the included hands-free microphone.

Working with sources

The list of supported formats is relatively familiar; in this part, the new products have inherited the capabilities of their predecessors. From disk The devices read MP3, WMA, AAC audio files (iTunes encoding) and DivX, MPEG-1/2/4 video files. From a USB flash drive– audio files MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC (iTunes) and video files MPEG1/2/4, DivX, AVI, FLV plus JPEG and BMP graphic files. USB drives formatted in the FAT16/32 file system are supported. Everything is more or less usual here. Much more interesting - ability to work with Android smartphones.

In this part, Pioneer AVH-A100 and AVH-A200BT provide two operating options, the corresponding mode is selected from the menu. First, the mode using MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). Everything is simple here - connect your smartphone to USB and get access to its contents as if it were a regular USB flash drive. The second option is to use AOA 2.0 (Android Open Accessories). It’s even simpler here - you continue to use applications on your smartphone, but the sound is output through the audio system. By the way, a good way to listen to Internet radio or music from some streaming services in the car.





Interesting Bluetooth in the “two hundredth” model. It allows you to connect two smartphones at the same time with support for all functions, but in general it holds in memory of up to five smartphones. For hands-free mode, Wide Band Speech technology is supported. Essentially, this is an extension of the frequency range of speech transmission. Of course, audio streaming from a smartphone is provided. Here we can note the ability to fully control navigation through the media library through the screen of the head unit itself. Most full-time GIs, for example, do not yet know how to do this.

Karaoke mode

Frankly speaking, we did not immediately pay attention to the capabilities of the AUX input. Its presence has become familiar, and, it would seem, what new can be invented for it? But Pioneer managed to surprise. A “mysterious” item in the system menu suggests choosing its operating mode – AV or MIC. In the second case, you can connect almost any separate microphone to the connector, thereby implementing the… karaoke. The function is unexpected for a car head unit, but at some picnic in a large company it can be a pleasant entertainment. Again, a useful feature for tour guides. As musical accompaniment, you can use music from a disk, USB flash drive or smartphone. The radio is not involved in this mode.

Sound settings

In terms of sound settings, the new Pioneer AVH-A100 and AVH-A200BT devices have made significant progress compared to their predecessors. Firstly, the 5-band equalizer has given way 13-way, so the flexibility in selecting the character of the sound has increased significantly. But, in our opinion, something else is more important - the new models have received the function Time Alignment or, in other words, channel delays. This is a fairly powerful tool for adjusting the sound field - it allows you to virtually “even out” the distances to the speakers (by delaying the signal in the corresponding channels for a fraction of a second). The menu prompts you to select a listening position, and all time delays are set automatically. Average statistical values ​​are used, but they can always be adjusted manually.



In terms of filters, the devices are adapted for the traditional 4.1 system - separately adjustable high pass filters(HPF) in the front and rear channels and low pass filter(low-pass filter) in the subwoofer channel. For the former, the frequency setting range is limited to values ​​from 25 to 250 Hz, the filter slope can be set from 6 to 24 dB/oct. The low-pass filter in the subwoofer channel has the same tuning range, but two more slope values ​​have been added - 30 and 36 dB/oct.

An interesting feature that is available in many Pioneer head units, but which many undeservedly ignore or do not know about it at all - the ability connecting the subwoofer directly to the outputs of the head unit instead of the rear speakers. The operation mode of the rear outputs is switched from the menu, which can be called up in OFF mode. Of course, we are not talking about connecting “heavy” subwoofers with low sensitivity; the built-in amplifiers simply will not support them. But this feature can be used, for example, when 6x9 bass speakers are placed in the rear. Experience shows that with this configuration you can get a very interesting system sound and a classic “front-facing sound stage”. It's a tempting opportunity to build a system that sounds great and rivals more expensive systems.

Results

Although the Pioneer AVH-A100 and AVH-A200BT models occupy entry-level positions in the lineup of car multimedia devices, they are far from being equipped according to the residual principle. Among the undoubted advantages are serious possibilities for sound settings, including a 13-band equalizer and channel delays, work with Android smartphones, three pairs of RCA outputs, customizable backlighting and a convenient touch screen that is close in response to touch to smartphone screens.

A modern car should have a sound system. High-quality sound is considered one of the main indicators of comfort when driving a car. From the article you will learn the features of installing a Pioneer radio and the connection diagram, as well as what the markings of the wires mean and what malfunctions are typical for such systems.

[Hide]

Instructions

To correctly connect everything according to the diagram, you should read the operating instructions. First of all, let's start with the marking and pinout of the wires.

What you need to know about wire markings?

By studying the markings, you will prevent errors that may occur during the connection. The device package includes not only a circuit diagram, the necessary plugs and adapters, but also two main ISO connectors. These connectors are standard, so they come with the car radio. Each of these connectors contains a group of contacts consisting of eight elements. One of these connectors is intended for connecting electrical wiring, and speakers are connected to the second connector of the car radio with remote control and amplifier.

You can connect it yourself - there are two methods. To make the connection without errors, you can purchase an adapter for installation. When connecting a device, car enthusiasts do it simpler - the connector is disconnected from the wires, and then these wires are connected to the mating part by twisting them. To properly connect the device, plugs, adapters and connectors are connected in accordance with the pinout and the diagram that comes with the kit. Please note that any car radio is equipped with wiring, the elements of which may have different colors.

Universal battery connection diagram

We suggest you familiarize yourself with what functions the wiring has and how they are connected. The yellow wire must be connected directly to the battery; for proper connection, the circuit must be supplemented with a fuse. There is also a red wire in the car radio; it is necessary to turn on the system when the ignition is on, so the red cable is connected through the lock. Under no circumstances should these two wires be connected to each other, since as a result of this, the pinout circuit will contribute to the accelerated discharge of the battery.

The black wire is the negative wire, it is usually thicker than the others, and should be connected to the vehicle body. Each of the cables that comes with a car radio with or without an amplifier performs certain tasks. For example, if the wire is white and has a blue stripe on it, then when connected to the connector it will be responsible for the operation of the antenna, amplifier, and also the subwoofer, if available.

As for the gray wire, it needs to be connected to the positive connector of the speaker located in front on the right. A similar cable with a black stripe is connected to the minus of the same speaker. The same situation is with the white cable, as well as the white wire with a black stripe - they need to be connected to the left video - Anton Eremin).

Connecting the rear speakers of a car radio with an amplifier is carried out according to a similar scheme. In particular, the green wire (to the positive) must be connected to the rear left column, and the green element with a black stripe is connected to the negative plug of the car column. Following the diagram and pinout, the purple element is connected to the right column, in particular to the plus, and a similar wire with a black stripe is connected to the minus with your own hands. If the diagram and pinout are not followed, there is a possibility that the car radio may short out, so be careful.

How to connect?

After you have connected everything with the remote control according to the diagram, let's move on to the issue of connecting the system. It is necessary to take into account that all plugs, as well as cable pinouts, are standard, so it will be difficult to make a mistake. Simply inserting the plug into the socket is not a problem, but sometimes car enthusiasts choose a more complex installation process when it comes to manual connection. To do this, the cables need to be disconnected from the plug and connected depending on their functionality.

Having connected the elements, they must be insulated as much as possible to prevent system failure as a result of a short circuit. To prevent the components from becoming disconnected from the adapters, it is advisable to additionally secure them using special plastic clamps. On all vehicles, there is a place on the dashboard for installing a multimedia system; sometimes this place is hidden by a plastic cover, which must be disconnected immediately before installation. You can use a screwdriver for this.


By opening the decorative panel or dismantling the old radio, you will see all the wires that are required to connect the adapters and outputs of the radio in accordance with the diagram. Based on the diagram, all cables and adapters are connected, after which the multimedia system is installed at the installation site.

Please note that the box with the tape recorder must contain instructions for use and special metal plates. These elements are called keys and they will be needed if you decide to detach the system if necessary. Metal keys are mounted on the sides of the multimedia system, their ends are bent and covered with a decorative cover. You don’t have to install the plates, but it is better to always keep them in the car so that there are no problems with dismantling the radio.

If adapters are required for installation, please note that they are not included in the kit. Adapters will have to be purchased separately. The procedure for connecting the system is not difficult; any car enthusiast can handle it.

How to setup?

How's Pioneer? The question is relevant for many car enthusiasts. To begin with, when the radio turns on, you immediately need to disable all functions to improve the sound. We are talking about equalizers, bass boosts and other components. Using the remote control and buttons, go to the settings.

We will not consider all of them, but we will devote time to the main ones that will be required so that when you turn on the system the sound is of high quality:

  1. SW SETTING 1. By selecting a command on the remote control, you can turn the subwoofer on or off. Also, using the remote control in this settings window, you can select the operating mode of the amplifier. What to choose should be determined after the fact, setting the option by ear.
  2. An important function is SW SETTING 2 - it determines the upper limit of the amplifier channel. The number that the display will show after pressing the button on the remote control is the frequency level; the amplifier will not be able to play above it. If the sound frequency is more than 100 hertz, then the sound can be felt by the body. Therefore, when setting the settings with the remote control, you should take into account the characteristics of the speakers. If the size of the speakers is 16 cm, then it is enough to set the frequency to 80 Hz using the remote control.
  3. Another function is HPF, for adjusting the speaker frequency; if this indicator is higher, the speaker will not be able to play. The setup principle is similar. It makes no sense to set the limit too low, because it will result in too low frequencies playing on the speakers, and if you have an amplifier, then it should reproduce them.

Regarding volume settings using the remote control. When the sound on it should already be adjusted, according to motorists, specialists should adjust the volume. Then all the individual features of the audio system model are taken into account; for the correct configuration, car audio specialists use testing programs, microphones, etc. But if this is not possible, then after the system turns on, set the volume on it to about 60-70%, then Then start setting up the amplifier. If, after turning on the audio system, you hear sound distortion and wheezing, then the volume level of the amplifier should be reduced.

Everything is individual not only from, but also from the driver’s preferences. Sometimes it is enough to select a certain sound mode (POP, RAP, JAZZ, ROCK or another) in order to ultimately get high-quality sound.

Video “How to properly connect a Pioneer car radio”

It is difficult to imagine a modern car without such tuning as a car radio. Long periods of idling in traffic jams, a forced stop, waiting for an order to transport goods, and other similar cases will be brightened up by pleasant music, listening to the radio, or watching video content.
Connecting a Pioneer car radio is not difficult. But you need to take into account a few basic rules.
The main thing is that during long-term parking, the radio, connected by hand, does not discharge the battery and it is possible to use it with the ignition off.

Car radio connection options

The main elements, in addition to the device itself, are the connectors.
They are:

  • International standard - ISO connectors.

Advice: ISO standard plugs must not be used for purposes other than their intended purpose. This may lead to equipment failure.

  • Individual.
    In this case, you can buy an adapter for the ISO connector or cut the wires from the radio plugs and the car wiring, then connect the car radio according to the color wiring of the device. You can use electrical tape for winding.
    But besides the fact that this method is not aesthetic, it is not always reliable. The connection of the wires does not guarantee a tight fit and sticking of electrical tape on the wires, especially in winter, which can lead to a short circuit.

Advice: This method can be done, as a last resort, taking precautions and using heat-shrinkable tubes.

It is enough to install ISO standard connectors once and you no longer need to think about how to connect a pioneer car radio. You will need to pull out the old device along the slide and switch the plugs from the old product to the new one, which is then put in place.
The photo shows ISO standard plugs.

ISO standards for connecting car radios

There are some features and different colors of plugs that you need to use to make the connection correctly.
There are two plugs as standard:

  • Black. Through it, the device is powered and its additional functions are provided.
  • Brown. Provides output to the car's acoustics for a sound signal.

When connecting the radio, the positive wire must be connected correctly.

Tip: When connecting the device, it is better to take the positive wire through the fuse directly from the battery. The diameter of the wiring should not be less than the diameter at the car radio connector. Sometimes you can connect from the cigarette lighter.

To reduce leakage, the following connection diagram for a pioneer car radio can be used:

According to the scheme:

  • Black color is earth.
  • Yellow – power supply from the battery (+12 volts).
  • Red – signal from the ignition switch to turn on the radio (+12 volts).
  • Blue – antenna is turned on (+12 volts when the device is turned on).
  • Diodes are different, maybe low-current type KD522B.

After installing the pioneer car radio, it is connected by applying a plus to two wires: yellow and red:

  • The yellow wire carries out settings and is responsible for powering the product’s memory.
  • Red is power and turns off the radio.

The instructions indicate that the red wire should be connected through the ignition switch, which will ensure that the device turns off after the ignition is turned off.

Methods for connecting a car radio

For a VAZ 2110 car, in order to reduce the price, connections can be made not to the ignition switch, but to the fifth contact on the BSK block according to the diagram below.

But, with this scheme, there are also some disadvantages. For example, power consumption increases when the ignition is on, and for a passenger, if he wants to listen to music, the key must be left in the ignition.
You can get away from this by twisting the yellow and red wires together and connecting them to a permanent positive. Then the operation will not depend on the ignition, but there will be a constant current consumption, which can lead, if the car is parked for a long time, to discharge the battery.

It would be more correct to connect the radio in other ways

First option:

  • An on/off button is inserted into the cut of the red wire and the product is connected through it. In this case, the radio can always work, and if necessary, simply press the off button. supply of current to the device.

Second option:

  • The switch button is inserted after ignition between the constant plus. The hazard warning button is used so that you can switch the power mode of the car radio:
  1. When you press the button, the radio is powered through a constant plus.
  2. The button is released - power is supplied from the ignition through the plus.

An example of such a connection diagram:

  • Car radio illumination wire to the cigarette lighter illumination wire.
  • After ignition, a “plus” is inserted from the clock block, this is the orange wire.
  • Plus constant from the cigarette lighter or ABK.
  • From the cigarette lighter minus ground.

Third option:
This is a simple scheme according to which the plus will be supplied and automatically disconnected from the alarm.
If there is a two-wire solenoid in the car, with operation for opening and closing, changing the polarity for each operation, it works like this:

  • from the solenoid to relay P1, a positive pulse is supplied when the doors are opened, the relay is activated and actually goes into self-retrieving mode, power from the battery is provided through relay P2 and the terminals of its contacts, and the radio is connected to the power supply;
  • during closing, with a positive impulse, relay P2 will operate, the power supply circuit of the radio and relay P1 will break, the car radio will turn off, the relay will be de-energized.

The disadvantage of the circuit is the increased power consumption, due to the power supply of the additional relay P1, it always remains on with the radio running. You can see in the video how to take into account all the details and correctly connect the car radio.
