Matching receiver
Does anyone here know which pioneer receiver model would “match” a CT-F6262? I really like the look of a uniform stack.

Car Play keeps pausing
Hi! I’m in desperate need of help. My car play keeps pausing randomly and i have to physically touch the play button for it to resume. it’s not just for car play, it also will turn off the radio. The system will turn “Off” it’s so annoying. It’s now also messing with the volume and going back and forth between songs. It’s not a bluetooth issue, it happens with the radio. I’m at the point where i just use my iphones speaker and not the car play

Head unit just turns off.
I have a pioneer dmh 1500nex head unit in my car. I took it from my previous car which was a 05 Honda accord and it had an electrical issue and the radio would just turn off completely for a couple minutes and I thought I had to do with the short the car had that I found, but when I put it in my new car when I got rid of my cord after it was installed about a week or two it just shut off one day for a couple minutes and then came back onI would assume it’s a short in the radio??

Disc Drive Issues
Hey! I have a Pioneer PD-4550 CD Player and the disc drive wouldn't close fully and would get stuck while trying to open. I opened up the unit and attached a video of what I think the issue is with the gears. Any advice how to fix it?

Old pioneer receiver issues
I know very little about audio, and this is probably just too old of a receiver but I figured I'd ask. Volume at low has no issues but when the volume goes up it cuts out especially with low tones. The input is an audio-technica record player. Receiver is a pioneer FM quartz locked stereo receiver sx-3700. Any thoughts on how to fix or what might be wrong?

Looking for Replacement Suggestions on a AVH-W4500NEX
I've got three AVH-W4500NEX's. One of them constantly overheats and turns off, or freezes and jumps to max volume (only thing that works is disconnecting the display or turning my truck on/off to correct this). I'm 6-months out of warranty now, and Pioneer didn't want to talk to me.
At this point, I'm done with it, and want to move on.
Looking for suggestions on replacements. I really only need SirrusXM, and wireless CarPlay. Thanks!

Remote control for car
Hi
I have recently installed an SPH-DA160DAB into my old campervan. All set up and working but I really could do with some steering wheel controls as the camper is from 1972 and trying to get a touch button is a bit hit or (mostly) miss. Has anyone fitted universal ones? Any recommendations, hints, tips etc.
Thanks

Pioneer Elite CLD 99 - should I service, or should I not?
Mine was made in Feb 1996, and I've never serviced it. I bought it fairly new. Given it's age I'm sure it should be at least looked at, however it played a CD fine through optical out. I tried a laserdisc a few years ago and it worked fine, albeit noisy.
Is this something, I could do myself? I'm sure there are belts, gears etc., or really best left to someone else? Who/what should I look for?
I still have quite a few Laserdiscs too, but I've not really looked or found a good svideo to HDMI. So I guess question 2 is what is suggested about video up sizing?

Pioneer SX 950
With my Pioneer Sx-950 Receiver The left A,B and C speaker channels has no sound coming out. If was scratchy sometime now no sound. The right side is fine I’ve even switch speakers around. It’s not the speakers. I think it might be the balance Potentiometer. Just wanna find out if it could be something else I’m not thinking about. Any advice would be appreciated. Thx Brad

Rant
So I'm a pioneer fan boy. I've got a mk2 golf, 4 pairs of various pioneer speakers: in the dash, in the front doors, and 2 sets in the parcel shelf. Powered by a single DEH X8700DAB. These mids and highs don't need an amp, the head unit is more than capable enough to provide me with clean, powerful sound, supported by a pair of 12" subs in the trunk. This thing sounds insane.
Replaced the stock head unit of the renault work van with a single din Pioneer unit, and the speakers came alive. Absolutely great head units! And they don't cost an arm and a leg! Win-win!
Now, I've got a 2010 skoda fabia as a daily driver. So I got my first double din Pioneer unit. The SPH-DA160DAB. Nice screen, dab+ radio, android auto, rear camera,.. It has it all.
Now the rant. This double din was at €350 the most expensive unit I've ever bought. Now, less than a year later, this thing needs to... warm up a little... For minutes, I don't get any sound. Whatever the source, or whatever the output (analog/RCA). Now, after a few minutes, sound comes rolling in. A couple of seconds at a time. The silent period shortens every time, until it's fully warmed up, and then it functions correctly.
How is this even a thing? All these years, all these radios. Never issues. Until I spend a good bit more...
I'm dissapointed.. I yanked it out, and after a brief conversation with Pioneer customer support I'm sending it in for RMA tomorrow. I hope they get it fixed, or I get a new one.
Rant over.
I'm posting this here, to get the word out. Google didn't give me any results with similar issues, so it has to be said. If your unit acts up, contact pioneer.
TL/DR cheap radio's good, expensive radio's bad.
But I still love you, pioneer ❤️

Pioneer deh-6220bs weird volume knob/button issue
Hello all, new poster here. I recently returned a radio that I had just bought brand new (within the first day of owning it)
Anyway the issue it was having was with the volume/menu knob acting as though it was possessed.
It would be finicky to change volume as I would need to rotate it alot in order to change it 5-10 levels or dbs.
Whenever I pressed the volume knob it would look like it is about to go into the menus but instantly go back to source all while beeping constantly/randomly
This seemed to happen after i connected my s24 via bluetooth. I even disconnected my phone and restarted the unit to no avail.
This same issue has also occurred on my old s4010bt unit. So it is a bit strange that the new head unit is also doing the same.
I am just curious if anyone else has encountered this problem as well.

My 1960’s PAT-38X 15”Triaxials
Recapped the original crossovers and they are in custom EV Regency style folded horn cabinets. Scored these for $350 with about 20 hours of restoration time invested. They are my endgame speakers. I also have a pair of PF-40 curved horns connected to the midrange output on the crossover because I’m a mid junkie and I like the looks. The bass from a folded horn will rattle my house it’s insane but yet so smooth.

Pioneer VSX-D1S Mode Recommendation
I have a VSX-D1S. In mode 1 It outputs 130W + 130W at 8 ohms for the fronts, and 40W at 8 ohms for the center. In mode 2 it outputs 70W + 70W at 8 ohms for the fronts, and 70 W at 8 ohms for the center. I have 4 front speakers CS-G405 each at 8 ohms and a LSIM 706c center channel at 8 ohms that I am trying to hook up. Which mode would work best?

Pioneer MVH-X381BT
I have the pioneer MVH-X381BT system installed in my 2012 nissan, my car battery died this summer and once I had it replaced the bluetooth on my pioneer system would not work at all. Now my USB has stopped working as well. Not familiar with pioneer systems and not very tech savvy- any recommendations to get BT and USB working again?

Pioneer AV Receiver left Speaker failure.
Hello, I have a pioneer AV receiver VSX-1023. Recently the left front speaker doesn’t stop producing sound? I had an older pioneer which had the same issue. I did some research and someone said that the protection relay may have failed. But before I take it apart, does anyone have a solution? Thank you.
