Cool thanks. What about the grey wire that was screwed onto the side of the oem head unit? Does that go somewhere?

Oh, and my LAST question: the pioneer harness has a yellow wire with a black stripe that is labeled mute. Was I supposed to connect that to anything?
Thanks |

Initial Review:
Initial impressions are that the stereo plays both louder and cleaner. Much easier to listen to music on the highway with the windows down than on the stock head unit. The more advanced EQ over the stock head unit is a welcomed addition. The stock unit with the underseat subwoofer had WAY too much bass. I had to turn it down to -5 bass on the OEM unit. Now, it's a much more neutral sound at 0's across the pioneer EQ. I also thought the OEM unit was very harsh sounding in the mids and highs. The pioneer is much better in that respect as well. HD radio, to my ears, is WAY better than the OEM non-HD radio. I have had an issue with plugging my iphone 4S in through the fancy cable. When I got back in the car this morning, the head unit seemed to think the audio was playing through Pandora (I can see time elapse), but there is no audio. If I switch to BT streaming, the audio plays fine? I'm not sure what's going on there? I tried to play a video podcast from my phone, and the image from the video appeared on screen, but it was paused. I couldn't figure out how to make the podcast play? This is not important, but I just wanted to see it work. Overall, I think I'm going to enjoy this sucker. The only slight knock on this unit is the low resolution screen. It's perfectly fine for displaying song information etc. in a car, but it just seems that in 2012 the bar for a 7" screen would have been set a little bit higher... I knew this going into it. I picked this unit over the Kenwood 719 (4x more res) because I wanted the HD radio. |

hack your own? Nissan harness can be had for about five or six bucks shipped from fleaBay. Buy a couple and move the wires (but colour code won't be right.)

Has anyone experienced app mode not working? I used to be able to play youtube videos and netflix but all of a sudden I can't get it to work.

I have started to solder my harnesses and ASWC together but I have not taken anything apart in my car yet.
So does anyone know how the OEM Kicker Sub in the trunk/hatch for the newer model year cars will work with a different headunit? (I have an AVH3400) Just wondering if it will be easy and straightforward or if I need to cut into some other wires. |

For some reason there's a song quality difference between cd's and when my iphone 4s is hooked up. The mp3's aren't **** quality but the volumes lower and the cds just sound so much better. Do I need that rip off of a iphone usb wire to get more quality rather than use the one that came with the deck itself?

I can't speak to the poor quality, but you can increase the source volume level. A different cable probably won't help.

And before anyone states the obvious that cd's will always have better quality than mp3's I just want to state an example of my problem. I'll put a song on and it'll sound low, so I'll hit previous to whatever song is on before it and then hit forward back to the low sounding song and it'll sound loud. And also I noticed that sometimes the headunit will skip the first 3 seconds of a song.. Could this be bad firmware? It's not a huge problem but is kind of annoying.

BTW great write up. I followed your guide and http://ae64.com/aswc-install.htm to a T, everything worked perfect. The audio quality on the 4400bh is so much better than the stock Subaru one (it sounded like you were inside a tin can). With Loudness on low and powerful EQ settings there is a night and day difference between the two units. I wish the bluetooth streaming option on my android phone would send the track/tag info to the screen. But I mainly use my old ipod and use that interface for music.

There aren't any leads on the Impreza's factory radio harness (and thus none on my 20-pin install harness) related to subwoofers. There are some Foresters with an OEM underseat sub that connects via pins on the factory aux harness. I do make adapter harnesses to retain that kind of sub with an aftermarket HU.

pg 39 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/St...nual051712.pdf Looks like there's either BSM or a more manual method if BSM is turned off. |
