Pioneer NEX & Mirrorlink / AppRadio

[kthxbai]

@bigdawg86 In the market for the same HU, Pioneer 4100nex. I've researched the additional parts needed to complete this install based on the two DIY directory articles. However neither DIY addressed this specific HU. Do I need any additional parts other than the following:

1. Beatsonic BH1 mounting kit & wiring harness

2. Male/Female Bullet connectors 14-16 gauge

3. Scosche LSAAB Lexus Antenna Adapter

4. Axxess AX-TOYUSB

5. PAC TR7

Please accept my gratitude ahead of time for your help!

@bigdawg86 I really appreciate this quick reply and the help! Definitely getting the parking bypass, going with PAC TR7. It will come in handy on road trips when my husband is driving, that way I can pop a movie in and watch as a passenger when we run out of things to talk about!

I got my 4100nex HU hooked up but can't get the ebrake override to work (PAC TR7). Can I ask which override system you bought?

Ive got a AVH4000NEX and used the TR7 PAC and a relay to change the signal polarity.

works for me.



Is your TR7 programmed properly and are you using a relay to reverse polarity as it needs to see a ground pulse and the TR7 puts out a power pulse.

You don't need to use any bypass device. There is a hidden bypass on the units. Just follow the instructions here: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxQDe0osxUA"]How to Enable Video Bypass on Pioneer NEX Units - YouTube[/ame]

Followed the link and I never get the "set on" notification.
@DieselDog I thought having the PAC TR7 would negate having a relay switch.

I did mine a few months ago and this is how I did it.

If the 4100 needs to see the same parking brake/ground as my 4000 does, this works.

I programmed it and wired the relay myself and it worked perfect.

I have the same radio and I bought for the same reason. It just doesn't want to work. I've tried everything and have done it all from the bypass the the mhl adapter/hdmi to switching phones and all. Damn thing just doesn't want to work. Messed with it for 3 months until I gave up. Only thing i didn't do was mess with the settings on the nex itself(how the smartphone connects and HDMI/Bluetooth settings , if ts a ipod or not blah blah) to a point but that shouldn't matter but i almost threw it into the street so i stopped lol. It does recognize the phone but doesn't mirror it and trust me I've tried it ALL...if it wasn't connected to my OEM audio + , I would of ditched it awhile ago..still a great radio though. I wanted to mirror torque from my phone but the app itself just didn't want to work.

That bypass is for the AVIC models not the AVH ones.

AVH does not have built in navigation.

AVH-4000NEX
AVH-4100NEX

Need the TR7-PAC or something similar


Then the

AVIC-5100NEX
AVIC-6100NEX
AVIC-7100NEX
AVIC-8100NEX

are all AVIC not AVH and it will work on these units.

I bought mine for Carplay and it works fantastic. I updated the firmware when i bought it

Even the text to speech works great.

Yeah. . there were other videos that said it worked on the 4000, but I guess not. I've got an 8000Nex so the bypass has worked for me. Oh well. . it's not too difficult to wire in a bypass while you're doing the rest of the wiring.

Thanks guys for the input, it's much appreciated. I got really frustrated and with my brothers help last night tried a bunch of ideas from the web to no avail. Gonna take some some away, reevaluate the bypass and decide to either try a different set up or just take it into a professional.
