Great video and tutorial. I have this unit coming for my '04 F-250, along with a Sirrius SXV300v1, and the the MicroBypass. I'm not going nuts with this and keeping things pretty simple, but will the factory door speakers be adequate for this or should I replace them with something else? Also I'd like to add the AVIC U280 in the future. Will that make it a standalone internal Navigation or is it still an overlay requiring my phone? I really enjoy watching your videos. You are both beyond "installers" and are true craftsmen. I really like the tablesaw/router table workstation you have. That would be right at home in my woodshop.
man these head units should automatically recognize when you have an ipod, or aux or android etc plugged in WITHOUT having to pre select it from the settings first.. its such a headache ,.. esp for those people like me who like using and switching back from ipods, usb sticks and android phones often
I have a 2009 Dodge Journey and it has a sort of Shark Fin antenna, but has the stick that screws into it. Factory radio did ok with FM reception, but the new Pioneer radio does bad. Real bad! How do I know if I need the power antenna wire hooked up or not? I was thinking it was only use for the motorized antenna's and this one is not. So will it hurt it if I just wire it up anyways? Any help would be great. And thanks for the helpful video.. Much better than the user manual that came with the radio.
2 questions.. does it take long for the unit to power on and does it delay too much for USB song list to show up when scrolling?? let me know bc I have the classic P4000 6.1 inch and it don't delay for nothing, very good unit
My mom's car has a radio with this model id on it and we are having an issue where when its cold enough (Below 60F ish) when we start the car the radio will automatically turn the volume up to max all by itself. Is there a way you can find out what causes this and how we can fix it?
Hey gut's! Your doing a great job! I have a question for you, I'm looking a stereo for my car. I have 2 option until now, the avh-391bt and the avh-x490bs, which one is better ?? Thank and keep going!!
Awesome!! I have an older pioneer and it also came with the USB extension cord. I hooked it up and plugged in my iPod and for some reason the iPod plays music sloooow. Meaning the songs sound like they are a quarter of the regular speed. I then hooked the iPod up directly to the USB port on the back of the head unit and it played normal. Is this a known issue with these units? Have you seen this happen before? Would love to have the USB cable attached so I could swap out the iPod if I need to without removing the head unit. Great head units though.
I have the 4800BS. I just ordered a new iPod charging cable and will test to see if the same thing happens with that. It was an old cable so we will see.
Nick yes the 3700 use is the current plug. The only thing different is the AVIC navigation radios. They are the same plug just a couple different pined wires
i have this particular unit installed in a 2013 dodge challenger sxt plus. One question when I got it installed i can not hear incoming calls nor out going calls. Nor the siri eyes free works. What could be the problem?
So if I wanted to not use pandora or Spotify for music. I would have to have the wire aux not with Bluetooth because Bluetooth only for iPhone music app iTunes only for Bluetooth ? I heard of mirror link but sounds like a hack kinda thing as in trick the system.....?
I see that there is now album artwork for Ipod mode, is there a setting on the avh-x5800 that will allow my radio to display album artwork on iPod mode? And do you know if it will get another firmware update?
I have the 490. When I go to iPod there is music and video. Music works, but I cannot get video to work. I'm trying to play movie I have on my iPhone. What am I doing wrong? Is there a companion video?
I've had this unit for about a month and now it's sounding really distorted. Almost like all my speakers are blown or something. Happens randomly though. When its not acting up, the sound is nice and crisp. anyone had this issue?
@@FiveStarCarStereoInc i can play music and see pictures on a thumb drive with my AVH-490bs, but it will not read videos. Videos will play on my older pioneer players, but not this 1. Do you have a fix for this
can this unit work with Huawei P20 Pro audio, just sale my kenwood exelon kdx-x500bt because won't able to play my music in bt, many problem, have to reset head unit,dellete my bt profil many times to be able to play music ( spotify,iheart )so i sale it to a guy have iphone, my wife iphone no problem, so this head unit Pioneer X490BS is ok for Android user in audio mode
Mamoon Sufian not out of the box, this radio does not have an Hdmi input. You would have to add something like the iSimple MediaLinks and the your phone adapter
+Geo Arellano it is the emergency brake wire There are 3 ways to hook up the lt. green wire 1 contect to the parking break and press when you needed. 2 hook the lt. green wire up to switch( ground 1 side and connect the other end to lt. green) 3. get the bypass from Amazon search microbypass.
Will the power plug in my old Pioneer FH-X520UI work with this or the AVH-X390BS unit? Or will I have to purchase a new wiring harness to connect to this new unit? Thanks
So a wire for aux and music Bluetooth but only pandora and iTunes music from ur phone . Can not use Bluetooth for other music or sounds like a TH-cam video ? So sound or viewing unless mirror link some how ?? I want to use apps for music without a aux or USB wire hanging everywhere.
Laughed so hard "English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and this one" love it lmao
Just taking a guess on the last one Chinese? Just curious. :)
yes
same here and still rewinding to hear it again and again
Chas Rathburn Play stop please

You guys are super helpful! thank you
I have watched all your videos and now I’m confused which of these I’ll purchasing, which one will you prefer avh-x490bs or avh-x4800bs?
Bought two of these units so far. Cant seem to get them to power on in a 2010 ford focus s for some reason.

whats is the difference between this and the x4800bs?
Gyzmo´s Fishing Adventures did ever learn the difference??
What's the advantages other pioneer stereos have that this doesn't have?
The yellow for the gps where can I buy the wire what’s it called
Is this a dual zone stereo?

Hola ,, tiene para CarPlay , con iPhone 12 ?? Gracias
Hi I'm trying to connect a 490bs radio on my 4runner 2004 with a PAC RP4.2-TY11 and the SWC does not work. Do you know what should I do?
Can u see vids on this??
Hi five star, i have a problem with my pioneer avh-490, doesn't read my usb , what do i have to do to fix this issue ?? Thanks
Hopefully these don't have the screen issues like the 2015 AVH-X models. Pioneer refuses to fix it or issue a recall!
Andrew Lojewski they are the same radios as the 2016 models
Hey gut's! Your doing a great job! I have a question for you, I'm looking a stereo for my car. I have 2 option until now, the avh-391bt and the avh-x490bs, which one is better ?? Thank and keep going!!
I can't get my box open,how does it work?
How do I use navigation with this radio I just bought it
what ever happened to the STAGE 1 competition SQ radios pioneer used to make?
TheTech they made them to hard for dealers to buy, so no one sold them. They dumped it all off to Crutchfield for cheap. Kind of sucked
thanks a ton, very helpful video!
Can I replace the mainboard of an avh-x490bs with a mainboard of an avh-x491bhs?? Please answer my question. Thank you very much.
what happen to the dvd function I was hoping to see how a movie look
which stereo is better the pioneer avh x490bs or Kenwood ddx9903s?

Troy Diaz wow, I have never seen that. What model radio do you have
I have the 4800BS. I just ordered a new iPod charging cable and will test to see if the same thing happens with that. It was an old cable so we will see.
Yup. It was my iPod cable. New one works great with the supplied USB extension from pioneer. 👍🏻
Are all the power plug inputs the same on the double din models? I have a Pioneer 3700bhs and thinking about swapping for another pioneer.
Nick yes the 3700 use is the current plug. The only thing different is the AVIC navigation radios. They are the same plug just a couple different pined wires
Can you stream music from Tidal on the iPhone using Pioneer's AppRadio to the X490BS?
Stuart Milsten there would be no app control for it.
Can I mirror link TH-cam to it?? Need to no asap I'm getting one
I was going to ask the same question lol but did it work for you?
i have this particular unit installed in a 2013 dodge challenger sxt plus. One question when I got it installed i can not hear incoming calls nor out going calls. Nor the siri eyes free works. What could be the problem?
Adrian Hernandez check out this video

This pionner works with chevy traverse????
So which is better AVH4200nex or this ?
Hi there,can an external SSD/HDD be connected via USB?
so whats the main difference betwee. this and the AVH-X491BHS model? Does the x491 bhs have a tilt screen too?
arcangel nickk they have the same features except 2- the 491 has HD radio and a front camera option
So if I wanted to not use pandora or Spotify for music. I would have to have the wire aux not with Bluetooth because Bluetooth only for iPhone music app iTunes only for Bluetooth ?
I heard of mirror link but sounds like a hack kinda thing as in trick the system.....?
