GP1138 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Pioneer DEH-P6900UB - USB drive compatible - I have my iPod on it now, but eventually I'm going to get an 80GB drive and enclosure and just throw all my MP3's on it and embed it in the car. And a pic of the car itself, and the PERFECT Lumina dashpad I picked up at Pick 'n' Pull! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 so, about the 80g drive and enclosure, im not sure but it might not work, since flash drives are solid state and don't need much power at all, and the actual drives do. May want to check that out first otherwise nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May want to check that out first otherwise nice! It powers my iPod alright, and I've seen reviews where people had drive enclosures that were powered fine. I actually might take my AC/DC inverter, wire it up stealthlike and just use one of the regular hard drive enclosures lying around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 thats the same deck I got. got it in the new tgp. has pretty good sound but I dont like the menus as much as the jvc. works good with my ipod too. I just throw it in the glove box where the wire runs to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Powered Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 the only thing other than the menu that I dont like is how the bright ass blue clashes with everything. it makes my interior look kind of ghetto fabulous. Ill probably throw it in the truck and get something less blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Not too bad of a deck. I have found, however, that Pioneer's actually have a pretty weak internal ground. Use that little screw that held in that plastic piece on the back of the deck, and ground out the CD player chassis as well. Otherwise... I can't say too much bad about them. I'm considering a Premier series deck myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just from your knoweledge of electrical engineering, or does this manifest itself in distortion, is it hard on the equipment or anything?

Only after I did every type of troubleshooting in my power, I finally called my tech line. The only other thing he could think of was grounding out the chassis, since I had done everything else. Cleared it up BIGTIME. Aparantly it's been a problem for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarloDude Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 And a pic of the car itself, and the PERFECT Lumina dashpad I picked up at Pick 'n' Pull!

GP1138 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 OK, this deck frigging rules. I had a spare 80GB laptop hard drive sitting around, so I copied all my MP3's to it, had iTunes arrange them all (so they were all in alphabetical folders) and put them into 26 lettered folders by artist, and just use an external enclosure and the USB cord included with the deck and play that through the head unit. It works just like an iPod, and I can just leave that in my car. I'll probably embed it in the dash, and yank it out once in a while to add new songs. It's powered by the HU, so I don't even need another power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious if the "COMP" (compression) and "BMX" (Bit Media eXpander) functions will work when playing MP3's off the hard drive or if it's from CD only.

Ive done it to all of mine ( including 3 Pioneer's ) and never had a problem with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... it really isn't necessary to do to the Pioneer's either, unless you are experiencing some feeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
