Pioneer AVIC U310BT

[elchulod]

hey, I'm actually thinking of getting one of these, but my issue is that I need to see the speed on the nav screen...is it not available? I've noticed that none of the pioneers have this feature,am I right?

To switch to the "initial menu", you have to press mode (audio) then press the "SRC/Off" button, after this, hold down the knob/enter button/centre of MULTI-CONTROL for 5-10sec.

Tadaa!

[bpacheco6]

EQ isnt too detailed, when you see mid,high,low you can go +/- and changing any of those enters you into the custom preset. you can also adjust subwoofer freq and crossover of HPF

[bpacheco6]

hold "SRC" button until you see "OFF" then hold enter button (the knob) and it will enter initial setup menu

Hello. I am thinking of purchasing this unit. I know, its last years model, but it is at a good price. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any way to stop the different colors around the control knob from changing. In other words, can I keep it just one color? Not sure if you found a way to figure it out. Thanks.

[bpacheco6]

@tyree71 please read the comments below someone toid me how to do it, it is possible

[FIcaraudioBTL]

@bpacheco6 woo you have switched from 4volt X 3 pre out and a 7band EQ to a 2volt X2 output and 3band EQ

[eddieortega101]

Hey nice vid. I have the same unit and I love it too. One quick question. How do you import your phone contacts to the unit? I still have not figured that out. Thanks in advance.

[firetail7]

@eddieortega101 if you watch the soundman car audio's review of it youll see

[bpacheco6]

you can adjust low, mid,high with basic +/- settings and maybe a range of 5 frequency targets for each, you can also set subs for reverse, and there is a HPF and crossover setting which makes a huge difference. When i got this deck after my previous pioneer (PH-8000BT) i nearly got rid of it since the sound was nothing like my old deck, but after tweaking with EQ it is definitely amazing now. Takes a lot of tweaking to get it right though.

[Sucubus43]

I was wondering about the EQ's and sound filtering settings like for subwoofer settings and speakers

[bpacheco6]

[Munks1320]

@bpacheco6 how the hell do you get to the eq. i cant find it anywhere

[Bmonaweck03]

I was trying to figure that out to, but I found it today. You have to go into the audio part, not the nav., and then hold the knob until it will come up audio menu, you go into there and then you can change it there@Munks1320

[Munks1320]

thanks, getting this soon

[SirPrem8]

How do you change the color and keep it at red? And also, can I use the aux cable to play music from a phone w/ a 3.5 mm jack?

[bpacheco6]

@SirPrem8 read furey377's response to this video he said how to do it. and the aux cable supplied lets you play music from anything with a 3.5mm jack....analog signal, just go to aux in the source menu

[crewdogger]

Great video.

[bpacheco6]

Thanks for the colour setting answer I finally got it! As for the wires they come out the back and route to your glovebox or center console. I hate seeing wires out the front it looks so cheap. Someone asked where I bought this deck...I got it on eBay it was refurbished. $400 plus $60 customs fees to Canada....mind you it was a year ago

[mattyrs500]

where do wires come out to plug things in like aux and usb?

[JuneRaCE]

Good video. One of the best of this unit I've seen so far. Thank you!

[furey377]

Hey don't know if someone else got this below there but if you want to set the LED colour in the deck, power off> press the joy stick (two fingers helps with the control) > adjust colour option.

If you download the AVIC Feeds software (windows only) you can set custom colours and as you said input waypoints.

Cheers

[bpacheco6]

yeah ive tried many, many times to find a way to do it, even using AVIC PC program which has a setting to change the colour, and it never works! Some people say they can do it but i think its based on firmware or something.

[brsoo]

hey i was wondering if you can set the illumination of this deck to one color? or does it ALWAYs change colors?? thanks

[bpacheco6]

1) yes you can change to km somewhere in the settings and you can also use Litres for your estimated gas consumption to a destination

[Jpucar]

hey thanks for the review...two questions:

1. since we're in canada have you found a way to change the nav from displaying in miles to kilometers? and

2. have you found any way to just pick a color for the background instead of it changing all the time, its kind of driving me crazy

[bpacheco6]

Excellent question. Answer is no and Its definately a sucky thing. There's a lot of small advantages to getting a unit that's higher up the line.

[iconocl4st]

So does this display Album Art when playing the iPod or flash drives?

[djose]

Fantastic Review. This is the only full video review of this device I have found on net. Just a few questions..Is it true you cannot change destination while driving due to the parking brake connection? Overall sound quality...does it live up to the live ASR feature for improving sound quality? I need that good bass for hiphop. Also any issues with the navigation so far. I to am from Canada and need a good nav to get around toronto. thanks a mil

[bpacheco6]

@djose yes thats true so when wiring your harness just ground the green parking break wire and you can go through your phone book and set destinations while on the highway :p

[bpacheco6]

@bpacheco6 OH and the sound quality is great but you HAVE to use the custom equalizer and set it up to your system. I have 2 10's with a 1400w amp and factory bose speakers, bass was NOT there when i first installed the decck but after messing around now it sounds great. Use the HPF (high pass filter) to your advantage. turn your subwoofer out off and set up your factory speakers to sound

[bpacheco6]

@bpacheco6 great with little bass, then turn subwoofer output on, set a good HPF, increase bass booster a little bit and your boomin. Toronto gps is awesome, i use it allllll the time downtown and its flawless. burlington, to scarbourough, downtown to brampton, its never failed me.

[miragesmack]

Awesome review. I'm thinking about picking up this unit on clearance, and updated thoughts after using it for a while?

[snakedoc1306]

Hello, thinking of buying this deck....did you install this yourself? Is it difficult to install? Thanks, looks great! Great review!

[bpacheco6]

very easy to install, just make sure you have a double DIN stock stereo then you simply use the mounting brackets from your stock stereo. Do your wiring harness (match colours of wires very simple but you need to buy this seperately) and find a place to mount your gps antenna and mic and your all set

[slowpc]

yea , my u310 is amber all the time. Can set it.

[raindrop132]

how do you hook up the green hand brake wire with this unit

[bpacheco6]

all you need to do is ground it, it has never given me any problems using this method. so just ground it to the chassis ground wire (on your harness, no need to even go near your handbrake)

[raindrop132]

@bpacheco6 thank you friend appriciate that alot

[bpacheco6]

no i cant find any setting, ive tried the function settings menu and the main settings....? no big deal though

[lunneborgc]

You can change the color to be blue all the time. It's in the setup there somewhere, the current setting you have it custom I believe, if your roll through with the knob select blue. I just put one of these in my dad's 350Z
