How to activate Pioneer steering wheel controls

  • Here's a tip on how to activate your steering wheel controls on your Pioneer Car audio/video unit. To complete this step you must have the park brake wire connected (or grounded) and the steering wheel control wires of the car hardwired to the PIONEER AV unit (applicable models, see your user manual for details, if your manual says 'steering wheel interface ready' you will need a third party steering wheel interface adapter). Use the cheat sheet at the link below to find out which wires on your car you need to connect to.

    You bloody beauty. I thought the money i spent on an adapter to enable steering wheel controls was wasted. Nowhere did it mention this hack in the manual. Been travelling without steering controls for a week since install. Many, many thanks!

    Tip would be to select to set up with adapter as a guess then if it's not automatically set up opt for manual setup without adapter.

    Great video mate, thanks for sharing.
    I run the AVH-ZL5150BT in my FJ and love it! I was wondering if you know if it can be set to power on only once the vehicle is running?
    The problem is, I usually turn the ignition on and leave it until all electronic diagnostics are completed before I turn the engine over. This causes the unit to power on, shut down and power on again every single time. This is quite annoying as I’ve got the screen position set at an angle.
    I know this can be controlled in some of the Kenwood units, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set the delay on this.

    • @user-njyzcip
      @user-njyzcip 2 роки тому +1

      I think you need to have the ignition wire on the unit connected to a sensor that outputs 12v (or 14.4v in this case) only when the engine is running. If your car doesn't have an output you can get an device that splices into your CANBUS or plugs into your OBD2 socket, and outputs a voltage once the engine is running.
