How to use the sound settings on the new Pioneer NEX radio

[@michaeldextermonroe8548]

Thank you for explaining the crossover in a way to easily understand. I have a AVIC 8500 NEX in my 2006 Nissan Titan Crew Cab. I changed out the factory speakers and added that small Pioneer powered subwoofer behind the backseat. I've never seriously adjusted the sound because I really didn't understand the crossover. But today I am going to go all in on adjusting it. Thanks for helping motivate me. Do you have any suggestions for me to get started with???

[@gregoryshaffer6102]

l just got a 7200nex can't wait to set it up has a few more features than my old avh8500bhs which was great too

[@Multi8384]

Thank you!! I always had the standard plus or minus settings..LOL

[@Darien2025Warren]

I have a 3500NEX and I don't hear anything when a call comes in and they can't hear me but am connected through BT and can play my music. Any ideas on what I did

[@davodavico]

Hi, very informative and well presented. Now, please help me with the following: my pioneer radio picks up phone calls> I can hear the person, but the person cannot hear me. Solution?

[@SandraLopez-xi7um]

I have the same problem please help

[@gangsta0817]

The unit comes with an external microphone with a mounting clip to place at your discretion somewhere in the vehicles cabin. It’s best to choose a spot and set it there. This will allow you to make sure when running the microphones wire back to the head unit that the wire is long enough to reach the head unit comfortably while hiding the wire from plain sight. Once plugged into the head unit you will now have an input point that will allow the end user to hear you. Bonus point: the microphone also acts as the head units “listening point” if you will, so you can not only use it as hands free for phone conversations, but to dictate to and use Siri as you would use on your iPhone, I.e. “hey siri” or “ok Google”; in addition the ability to use messaging hands free, I.e., her Siri, tell (contact) I’ll be there in 15min. It then uses your contacts to create the text message, repeats what you dictated to confirm that it hears you correctly, and if so, allows you to change the message or not, and once changed then asks you if you want to send the message or not. Again, works for all commands, I.e., “hey siri, play my drive to work playlist, or whats on my schedule today” it’s pretty awesome to have, think of it as an extension of your phone into the car via Apple carplay or android auto. Furthermore, every interaction hands free is also visual on the radio itself. Enjoy!

Installed the Pioneer AVIC -5201 NEX with a PAC PR5-GM31 . I have no sound coming from the rear. All the speaker wires are hooked up correctly. Cant figure it out.

[@wacruick]

What about the loudness feature,? Not seeing that option in any of your videos

[@gangsta0817]

The loudness feature settings are designed to be gradually louder/clearer, specifically at lower volumes. Although it works for higher volumes also. I usually have mine set on the first or the 3 levels.

[@markh.2899]

I had an installer replaced the JL audio C3 5.25 rear passenger door speaker yesterday in my 2006 Duramax and now, suddenly, I'm getting no rear speaker sound from either of the rear door speakers -my 2 subs and front speakers are working and my head unit is a Pioneer AVIC-8400NEX. Why would I suddenly lose my rear door speakers sound? Thanks! The rear speaker setting is on.

[@epictales1307]

@Five Star Car Stereo Hey, is there any reason to get the 8500nex instead of this one, and if so what is that reason/s? I am thinking about putting one in my 2010 Camaro SS, and I do have a child that will be able to use the second zone/area for media control separate from the front. That is some pretty awesome hardware for a vehicle!! No one else does what Pioneer does though at any sort of reasonable price.

[@thomassylvestro9041]

Love your Channel. Will these settings still work with aftermarket Amp

[@marktorres3918]

hey I have the 4200. I was wondering if it's supposed to make the speaker better. Def clearer but the bass is not what it was when I had an old alpine in. now the speakers are stock in a 2000 civic but still had some bass. now it sounds bad. mind you when I turn it up they sound blown but it's weird cause the other radio had the speaker bass decent. wondering if maybe the Pioneer is to much for these old stock speakers. or if the Pioneer is possibly messed up? thanks guys. BTW...love your channel. really helped me out to buy this radio.

[@watchmanexpert]

Mark Torres hi did you found solutions ? I installed the radio and my subwoofer sound too way too low ....with my stock radio the subwoofer was very loud

[@2402devin]

@@watchmanexpert did you guys find any solutions?

[@bhileshwartrilochun1062]

Great video. Thank you very much. 👍🏽🙂

[@dbcroofing1]

why the sound lags behind the video in avh 2550 nex pioneer on bluetooth?

Question . I installed the radio and my subwoofer sound way too low ....with my stock radio the subwoofer was very loud. Any idea ? Best buy installed the radio

[@angelmedin79]

Turn on the subwoofer on the radio

[@gangsta0817]

Make sure the subwoofer and the factory amplifier are compatible , if not bypass the factory amp and install your own anyhow, you will get better performance and sound customization options with an aftermarket amplifier IMO. Good luck and bass on..!!!

[@pedroortiz1639]

I have the pioneer 5200nex and i got it installed in my car but im having a issue with the volume. The volume on the radio keeps going up and down on its own. Do you have an idea what could be causing this?

[@killerniceguy]

Are the EQ setting specific to a source or is it a universal setting? For example AM radio EQ would be much different from CD, does the EQ change when switching between the two automatically?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

It is a universal setting. If you would like source tone adjust Chaco out Kenwood.

[@danmason7732]

Back back up camera is locked active for back up . I have a 2660NEX, and can not find my mute button to reset this. Everything else is gone, and only the back up camera screen is on.

[@stevespensley3876]

Will the eq mic work with the bypass installed?

[@sengemengefrancis7515]

On my speaker settings I d can’t find my rear speakers only the front speakers and subwoofer appear, what exactly is the problem here.

[@manchvegasuruguayguy]

Great explanation ! Thank You

[@epoen2012]

Why would all of this under audio be greyed out?

[@streetwisemi1384]

Mine is like this too. What is the solution?

[@pepemartinez2204]

For a stereo like this is it recommended to still get a equalizer?

[@wacruick]

Yes

[@danaye5608]

How do you turn off the clicking sound when you press something?

[@bigboifire]

My sound will not play through the tweeters and door speakers. Everything else on it works fine. My mechanic said that the head unit's audio output is broken. Is there a way to repair it or should I just buy a new unit?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

That sounds odd, I would remove the radio and test the white and gray pair of speaker wires with a test speaker.

[@sengemengefrancis7515]

Please how do I factory reset AVH-2500NEX

[@GGAllinSF]

How do you turn down the nav volume on the 8200nex? If I'm using nav while playing music the turn by turn directions are so loud (the music level is not loud when this happens) I can't or don't want to use the decks nav and am forced to use Apple maps instead.

[@GGAllinSF]

Never mind I found the settings menu for navigation

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

On the Navigation screen there are 4 lines on the right- touch it - goto settings-scroll down to the sound settings. You can find more information on page 50 of the owners manual.

[@Safeandsanepyro]

I want to know how do I turn off the bass for the speckers

[@FSXgta]

high pass filter

[@oxclu]

So i have a component set up from so when i do time alignment i jus have to measure the distance between the tweeters and the speaker?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We go to the halfway point between them both.

[@Ace_USVI]

Hey guys. Does the auto EQ works for the 4200 too?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes it actually works on all the video radio

[@Ace_USVI]

Thanks, I later realized that you put it in the description.

[@fandechavalones3022]

how do i turn on rear speaker ?

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

These are great amps.

[@ledmk2]

Nice desk

[@danmills5094]

Question: I have an 8100NEX, is it supposed to be able to play DVDs in true surround sound? Or does it just mix everything down to 2 channels?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

DanGoogle GoogleDan it just mixes down to 2channel. The radios do not have any form of surround support like Dolby or DTS.

[@mikefox5117]

I'm trying to turn off Sirius, it is set to on but greyed out and not able to shut off. Trying to get rid of scrolling add to renew

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

MIKE FOX you may just need to unplug it from the back of the radio

[@rbnjr]

the link to get the auto EQ mic?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

rbnjr here you go it is the cd-mc20 www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0038PIGDW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483925175&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cd+mc20&dpPl=1&dpID=41wBMOVibHL&ref=plSrch

[@quennellharris8878]

Hi I got a pioneer avic-5000nex its ask for password how can I reset password

[@carrieannjones4857]

When I click on my speaker settings it wont let me click on any of them but mute level.. please help me !!

[@Jsims111]

make sure you have a source selected

[@gangsta0817]

Exactly. In other words, play a Cd or anything other source and have the volume up maki g sure you hear audio, then the audio setting options will be available to adjust

[@eazy69ful]

does deck has network mode

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Believe it or not none of the NEX models have Network mode.

[@juneacannon]

+Five Star Car Stereo im thinking of buying the nex 4200 I currently have a avh8500 i don't like the sound quality of my hu does the nex have a better eq sound processor than my avh8500 , also will my wire harness plug into the new nex? Thanks and keep up the videos.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+juneacannon the Nex is a sound upgrade for sure. No the plugs are different.

[@bigdogbulldog9912]
