My gf had a Pioneer aftermarket HU that wouldn't automatically move onto the next album either when the source is USB.

Is this new HU a Pioneer? I thought it's a Clarion now.

I can't find squat using the number on the front.

Use a plastic trim tool and remove the HU trim surround it's real easy. Then you can undo the screws and check out the back sticker. Hope there's a branding there.

Then I guess once you figure out the brand, you can check out some manuals of that brand's headunits and see if there are clues as to what you want to do with it.

IIRC the MY2017 Toyota 86 HU is a Pioneer and the BRZ is a Clarion for the US market. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Who will get better service from them down the road?

Correct, but I would never go back to that dealer for service, if they forgot to include a basic manual on a new 2017 car imagine what they would forget on basic service.

If your in luck and have another a few Toyota dealers near by, go to another.

You are correct! It is the BRZ HU that is different. There are just to many to keep track of.

Here ya go Petro:

Toyota is such a ripoff. Scion gives you a nice little binder with a pen and a small first aid kit for the manual and paperwork. Does Toyota do this? NO! Bastards.....

You have to get the upgraded option for that.

Also, but on topic, and being totally ignorant of the specific unit, there is usually a setting that can be toggled on and off for playlists between the albums, are you saying that there is no such option?

Happened to me with my new 2014 BRZ. I ended up buying a set of new manuals off eBay for $100 bucks and had Subaru Canada write me a check.

I've never been back to that particular Subaru dealer for service either.

does it only play that particular album and repeats to track 1 of the same album? and what source are you playing from?

I have the same head unit but i'm fine with it...

USB, organized by artist and album. It returns to the start of the current album. Annoying as hell.

Oh is that the problem? Easy, use your phone. Done.

The only thing I know about it is it sucks and it's called the AXLP-Q17U T10087.

I don't have a manual for it and can not find anything on the web.

Does anyone know how to (if possible) to get this POS to display and play in directory order, and most important, how to get this POS to roll over to the next album?

Is there ANY head unit out there that still has buttons? I don't give a rats rear end about album images, track info, who farted in the studio, phone connectivity and anything else that requires you to look at the stupid thing to operate it.

I want the unit from my '13 back.

From the photos I've seen, your headunit sure looks like the same one that is in the 2016 FR-S. I had downloaded a PDF copy of the stereo's manual from Scion's website before Toyota took it down. I'm not sure if it will help, but here is a link to download it if you want to check it out:

I do like Neutron for Android as a player, for sure. Maybe I'll just yank that POS out and stick in a small tube amp.

Holy crap, thanks a million!

According to a quick read, I can not get the POS to play the next album unless there is some sort of playlist. Fuck the MP3 generation right in the ears. What sort of moron would not include that stone-simple basic playback mode?

I'll read again carefully after I wake up and have had more coffee. Meanwhile, TC's eight track is looking pretty good. I'll bet you can't even buy an HU with actual buttons. I'm going to go play Mental as Anything on the turntable, BRB.
