You can't connect bluetooth directly from an iphone to play music or use maps? Is that correct per the video?

@@SDPosse619 you can Bluetooth music to this radio from an iPhone now if you talking about navigation tun by sound yes. But I recommend you to just plug USB to get the full features of Apple carplay

[@albinomexi]

Have the same radio. Definitely recommend it. It actually surprised me because I’m used to my pioneer AVH4100NEX that I’ve had for awhile now. I got mine with the speakers too for about $110. It doesn’t disappoint at all

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

$110! It's surprisingly good!

Interesting, I have the same Pioneer in my pickup and just ordered the Power Acoustics for a little Honda CRV I got to use as a second car. I'll be curious to see how they compare.

[@emanuelncx2]

[@thatoneguy9122]

I got it for 40 bucks after Christmas. It's not bad especially for the price. Only problem is it randomly turns off. Also only gets loud between 32-35

We just bought a mini cooper with this head unit. Can't figure out how to see the car oil level, TPMS or other built in native systems? Is there a way?

[@esteban6714]

Hi I’m have the power acoustik P-81ACRD and I need connect the rear camera in the back of this unit . The unit have the rca yellow for the camera but is not have the red cable.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

The red on most cameras is for power, you need to connect that to twelve bolts and ground.

[@esteban6714]

the back radio no have the red wire only have parking wire

[@SDPosse619]

[@hereusethis]

Whoops, one more question. What the heck is the BT Antenna wire? Is that wire actually the Bluetooth Antenna itself or an output for some kind of aux Bluetooth anetnna? I was thinking maybe it's just a poorly named "power antenna" feed since it doesn't have one (And if that isn't the power antenna feed, I assume the best way to handle that is to split the amp feed and use one of those for power antenna). Thanks!

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

You had the ideology, a simple $5 voltmeter would have confirmed what took you the same amount to time to type.... yes... you nailed it

[@hereusethis]

@@Qualitymobilevideo Sorry, meant to reply to my message and say I figured it out. Indeed, a VM is a handy tool. I checked the BT w/ the VM. Yep, definitely not the 12V trigger for power ant/amp. It really is just a stub of an antenna. Weird. And for anyone else, yes, grounding the pink park wire does indeed bypass the "brake" requirement. Thanks for the help. I dig your channel. Hope you folks aren't getting bored with it and have more reviews (love your "high-value" reviews) coming for 2023. Cheers!

[@eternalsoundschicago]

When using the mirroring option, does it send video to any of the outputs for mirroring to rear video monitors?

[@Arturito2017]

Thinking about using this with a four channel amp and subwoofer amp because of little to no distortion at high volume

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

It will be a great combo.

[@jus10inla]

What do you recommend for a unit with hdmi port? I am using a ishd01 av to hdmi adapter now to mirror my ihpone, but a solid hdmi port would rather what i use.

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Not too many have HDMI at the moment

[@jus10inla]

@@Qualitymobilevideo is there any option other than an ishd01? I bet ive gone thru one every 6-8 months they just stop working.

PLEASE do a review and power test of Seismic Audio Amps if you have them in stock. NO ONE has reviewed or dyno tested these amps yet. I'm very interested in the SA 250.4LH. This is a 4 channel class D amp with 4x35amp fuses on it. Its rated 375 watts RMS per channel, please test it for us and see if it does what it claims for it's $200 price tag...

[@Qualitymobilevideo]

Reverse volume limiter?

[@reviinge]

@@Qualitymobilevideo yeah when I'm in reverse, since I have a backup cam installed, the max the volume will go is half

[@ToStompU]

its limiting your audio because it probably tries to use a second hand noise maker when you get close to stuff or it senses you getting close... not sure what the fix is but that is dumb

[@reviinge]

@@ToStompU it’s a “safety” thing. Even in the settings it allows me to adjust navigation volume , speech or something volume , and reverse volume. The radio maxes out at 40, the most it’ll let me adjust all of those to is 20

[@hereusethis]

Sorry to be late to the party here, but great review! A couple questions: Does grounding the pink (park) wire work on this one (the way it does on the Dual/Jenson units)? Second question -- you show the front panel 3.5mm as being A/V, whereas the manual calls it out as "3.5mm for Aux Audio Input". Is the video correct or is the the rear the only place something like your audio adapter would work? Thanks much!

[@vanzelsimmons9048]

Yes lock it in with the black wires
