Splinter 2nd Gear May 10, 2019 Share May 10, 2019 Any kind souls car to share their ICE upgrades? Its been half a year and i have yet to move in my old setup. Anybody can share pics of their retrofitted headunits in place of the original? The factory installed ones in the first batch of AD sucks big time, the volume control is erratic, soundquality is generally bad and the bluetooth connectivity is spotty. I will be replacing it with my old Pioneer AVH 5850. I had bought the fascia from aliexpress, but am not sure if I still need to get the interface cable for the steering remote, or the existing one works fine? (BTW, the headunit of the first batch ADs are actually cheap Chinese 3rd party ones, only the later batches with Android play are actual factory installed from Korea) I took the same route as you. I upgraded to Pioneer avh-z5250bt last week and while combing through Taobao, I found out our non-standard head units are actually available for purchase on Taobao as well. Back to your question, from my experience, Pioneer head unit can be programmed to steering control, so you still retain the use of your steering control. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So meaning to say the steering controls can be installed and programmed directly without the need for 3rd party connectors or wiring?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter 2nd Gear May 11, 2019 Share May 11, 2019 So meaning to say the steering controls can be installed and programmed directly without the need for 3rd party connectors or wiring?? For my case - AVH-Z5250BT, yes. There's a wire in the harness that connects to the steering control wire. After it's connected, the installer or yourself will use the steering control settings in Pioneer head unit to learn the steering controls. Do note that the brake wire has to be wired up to access steering control settings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenotech 1st Gear May 14, 2019 Share May 14, 2019 just did my 20k and they seems to lube the steering column the sound of the steering is not much Hi, did you order a new steering column? Just saying, lubing is not solving the root cause of the problem. And since car is under warranty, might as well get it replaced. My part is here, I will be changing it at end of this month during my 20k service as well. Will update again how things go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure....but for me if you put your left foot on the floor area below the brake pedal....you can actually feel movements when you turn your steering. its like something is under the carpet knocking. Not sure if it is an issue or is it normal. BTW mine is a late late 2016 match...one of the first ADs 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
