I installed an AVH-p3400bt unit today and I can't seem to get it to dim with the gauges when headlights are on...
Does anyone have an idea how to do this? I have a 2011 wrx.

EDIT- If it isn't dimming AT ALL, you need to hook up the dimmer wire, then read manual to adjust brightness for the ''dim mode''. Mine was too dim in dimmer mode by default. Last edited by BWX; 04-06-2012 at 10:46 PM. |

Mine just stays the same brightness.., the screen I can lower manually but the buttons on the side stay the same brightness...
I'll have to check on it tomorrow but I hooked up all the wires as they are supposed to be. |

I don't think the buttons dim, just the screen, but the screen should dim. Check link in my post above.

Got it now, thanks..
Also noticed the hu has a hiss as soon as you mess with the eq.. Keep it in flat and it's not terrible, radio isn't bad it seems just on my iPod the hiss is present.. Tried grounding the hu to chassis but that didnt work.. I have no subwoofer so the rca's aren't the problem.. Anyone else have this issue? |

Yeah I notice a little hiss with the volume really loud on a CD, but I have an amp.. Also radio reception isn't the greatest, even though everything is hooked up right. Lots of static. 3300 and 3400 probably have a lot in common inside..

I have tried everything under the sun to resolve the bad radio reception. If you find anything please let me know.

It's 'ok' now, but still not as good as subaru POS stock deck which is a huge disappointment. I should add that I'm trying to pull in relatively weak FM stations that are close by, but even the powerful stations have way more static than they should. I'd send it back to Crutchfield for a replacement if I thought it would help, but I bet it'd be the same on all of them. It sounds a lot better when car is stationary though. When car is moving is when I get stereo cutting out and excess static. Last edited by BWX; 04-08-2012 at 05:45 PM. |

Mine isn't hissing with the radio.. I'll try a cd to see if it does the same thing.
I'm using the front USB for my iPod... If I turn the eq to flat there's little to no hiss.. I can live with it but it's annoying that the terrible oem unit is silent compared to this. |

Figured it out.. It's the eq setting that's all the way to the right, lower that to +2-+4 and a majority of the hiss goes awAy.

Yesterday I hooked up the ground wire that goes to the back of the stock HU to the 3300BT. Now it is grounded twice I guess as there's already a ground in the harness. I also changed back to the stock antenna lead with the 90 degree bend as the straight plug one I got at my local stereo shop didn't help at all and possibly made reception a little bit worse.
After doing that I think there is a very small improvement in FM reception.. Could be just the cloudy weather too.. Who knows. |

Where did everybody pick up theirs? If I have to wait for an shipment from buying online for $400 I will. It seems bestbuy doesn't have them yet (not on their site at least) and there's only 2 auto shops remotely close to my house. And one of them are hardcore ripoffs..

I could have gotten the 4400 online for same price I paid at bestbuy but it was just one of those "want it now" moments. |

My 4400 is now installed. Banana. Just curious if anyone else has an iPhone to use the App Mode? If so, what apps can you use?

I like the 5v output of the 3300BT. Don't know why they went backwards.

Question: Is there any security precaution that can be taken for these types of touchscreen headunits? As far as i'm aware they don't have detachable faceplates so you always have this fine ass touchscreen on display..

I was thinking about getting some kind of dummy plate to go over top of it.. just a flat piece of plastic to cover it up.
