I dunno, Waze shouldn't block/mute music like that.

I tried that. I also tried the reverse. For some reason when waze displays on the HU- no music.

Well that just sucks.

Are you able to have Waze open on the phone and have music playing in the HU? Or vice-versa?

I've never used a bluetooth HU, so I'm not sure how it works, etc.

Haven't tried streaming music via Bluetooth yet so maybe ill try that. Still sucks though cause I'd like to utilize the HU for nav whenever needed. The good thing is that the times I need it will be far and few between. My husbands mini actually has more luggage room than the z so that's gonna be our road tripper.

Yeah you can definitely do that. I actually prefer it. So what I do now, is stream my music from my phone via pandora straight to the HU via bluetooth. THE HU displays the artist information and album as well via bluetooth. Then if I need to go somewhere and need GPS, I will program the destination into the phone and while I am driving the voice prompts come right through the speakers. The music does not turn off when the voice prompts come through, the volume of the music just simply goes down, and then the GPS lady says where to go.

I often use this feature, but to be honest I bought the HU so I could see the map on the screen.

so i did more tests with the ASWC and 2500BT on my dd which is a honda, but shouldn't matter since the wired remote and the BT part is no different than 5500BH, 4500BT.

1. i could not use google nav (off my droid) to sound the directions through the BT to car speakers while audio (FM, MP3, DVD, etc) is playing.

2. i tried using steering controls while im in the pioneer's setup mode (like EQ setup, display setting ,etc) the ASWC freezes and no longer works until the car is restarted. which i thought was a pita

since ive never had this issue using PAC. like my Z runs PAC with the 4500BT, and it has no issue skipping tracks, volume control while im in setup mode in the 4500BT.

as for nav, i use a nuvi in my Z which also works as my obd2 gauge, so it's no issue.

not sure wat i need to do with my dd though...hummm... was hoping i can get the audio directions off google nav while MP3 was playing. if i enable BT audio streaming, the phone battery dies pretty quickly if not in the cradle, so that's kind of a pita to have to place in the cradle each time i get in the car.

but anyway, my 2500BT and 4500BT were cheap and sounds good so im okay with it for now.

my x5500 is getting delivered today!!! I figure if I can do all the preinstall stuff (like connecting all the harnesses) I should be able to do the install tomorrow night.

LostSol · 04-08-2013, 05:51 PM

A few questions while I'm wiring everything up:

1. The bypass I bought says to connect to the blue/white wire from the radio, but not the antenna wire. Apparently they're one and the same on this model. Do I connect the bypass there, and then connect the blue power wire for the antenna to the vehicle side harness only? Or do they all connect together?

2. The AWSC has a pink phone mute wire, does that connect to the yellow mute wire on the radio?

3. The purple reverse wire says to connect to the wire for the reverse wire that changes polarity in reverse. Anyone know which this is on the Z?

Did you guys have to use a dash kit on the Pioneer unit?

I wasted $$$ and got the dash kit just in case of a gap.

Cbtech · 04-08-2013, 07:56 PM

the "ring" for closing the gap in the metra kit is just garbage. i would have been happy with original non bose head unit so i wouldnt need the install kit.

You can use the remote turn on wire off the pioneer to power both the antenna booster on the car and bypass module.

I don't know about the aswc since i used pac

for reverse wire tapped into the actual reverse wire off the tail lamp since the trunk liner was pulled out for the camera instaIl.

No I used the base factory trim, removed the thin felt around the opening and made a gasket out of hard felt to completely fill the gap.

Awesome thanks! So where does the blue wire on the adapter harness go?

And do I use the mute wire at all?
