whitey Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 After six weeks of head scratching, swearing and driving around with a third of the dash missing, I have finally got my Pioneer AHV-P4100DVD head unit up and running. My main problem was that that the steering wheel controls would not work: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=22923 After sending my 29-674 harness and head unit back to IncarTec twice, it turned out that there was a problem with the printed circuit board and a bug in their software, this was eventually corrected and the steering controls now perform really well, in fact they perform far more functions than I ever thought possible. I would urge anyone who is struggling to get their steering controls working to give IncarTec a call as there may be more faulty harnesses out there! The head unit is excellent, the sound is brilliant (IMO) even with the standard Bose speakers and amp, the display colour can be altered to match all the other lights in the car perfectly. Whilst I was at it I also added an Ipod cable, Bluetooth adapter and fitted My Navman S100 into the cubby box. Heres a few pics and thanks everyone for all your help.

hotrain69 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 how are you finding the bluetooth mate? i've got the same setup and connecting up the phone is a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i run the Pioneer Avic F500BT in my cubby section and the bluetooth on that is excellent. as long as my phone has bluetooth switched on it automatically logs into the unit within 15 seconds of sitting down. and from there i can access most of the phones functions from the Display. including my address book.

whitey Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yeah, my bluetooth connects perfectly everytime and the phonebook transfer worked too on my Samsung G600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i can wait to get the pioneer headunit as i'll have a matching set then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrain69 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 ah sorry i was being ridiculously silly. i completely forgot its not the unit's problem that i'm having but with the iphone! wont remember the connection and no phonebook transfer which completely ruins the whole bluetooth thing for me.

whitey Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 I had the new iPhone 3Gs for a week and it connected ok to the headunit and remembered the connection but Apple will not allow any file transfer via bluetooth so you can't send the contact list to the headunit. Hence the reason why it went back to 02! Brilliant iPod, useless phone (IMO)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitey Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 My iPhone had no problem connecting at all with the 4100DVD. Have you registered the phone and set it to auto connect in the headunit menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
