Has anyone installed the boss bv9255 headunit or any similiar boss dual din products? ive always stuck with pioneer for my aftermarket hu but i was thinking about switching it up, just not sure how the user interface is on the boss products

any insight is appreciated

 

if you like the user interface on 1980 ibm computers you will love boss

take my advice and just stop thinking about it right now. the 3100dvd isnt much more expensive then the boss and is well worth it

 

lol the only thing i didnt like about the pioneers is dont they have that built in gyroscope that makes you have it wired to the parking brake, and if its flipped down it totally voids the warranty or something like that?

 

what? gyro has to do with navigation and the 3100 isnt motorized. but even if it was theres no way to void the warranty by leaving it open (im assuming u mean that) although the only reason a double din opens is so you can put i cd in there so leaving it "open" is sorta stupid

 

i went to a local install shop because i dont know **** about installing stereos, and i told the guy i was thinking about the pioneer 3100 dvd and i told him i would want it wired so the parking brake did not have to be pulled to watched dvds, so he said he could do it but the pioneers have a gyroscope sensor built in on the back that detects even if your car is moving 1 mph that it automatically shuts off all video functions, so he said they flip the switch down, but it voids all warrantys


did he pull some sales b.s?

 

yes he did

 

so the gyroscope has nothing to do with the video functions of the pioneer?

 

no that unit doesnt even have a gyro. if you looking at navigation units they have gyros and most of the time would lock out video while moving. otherwise no gyro. all u need is a switch

 

good news.....about the switch, does the unit have a "switch" or is that something i would need to purchase for the install

 

no u need to buy it

 

alright do you have any links to a website that would have it....i have no idea what part to look for..

also im having it installed by a shop so would they include this in the install?

many companies make something like that, finding them via google seemed impossible thou. Um if they will install it or not i have no idea. just ask, its relatively simple just illegal

 

alright great, thanks for the links, what is the switched used to power on?

 

its not used for power at all.. its a ground

 

i get what your saying now, i noticed in another post you had alot of mp4 files, i plan on using my ipod for videos for the hu. if you could send me some bro id be much appreciated...im not really picky im just tryin to build up my library
