20 Most Recent Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD Monitor - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Right after I send my problem with my p4000, I found what's where wrong... I forgot the little black wire ground. I simply put wires togheter (the big on and the small) and now, it works !!! I can see pictures and sound from DVD and listen music with USB flash drive...

Hope this will help you...

Having the car in "park" is not the key. The unit needs to see a 'ground' on the light green wire that attaches to the parking brake. (see manual). You can get around this by installing a toggle switch OR a relay that will user the 'amp remote' wire as the trigger.

Maybe you had the same problem as I did... the unit may have been dropped or mishandled during shipping or maybe during installation. If it is still under warranty, return it. If not, try this:

I took mine to a technician that went through the settings, found nothing wrong, except for the fact that it won't play video. What he did afterward was open the unit up and checked out inside. Apparently there was just some little plug that got loose and/or fell off inside. This probably happened during shipping or could have happened if someone dropped the unit I guess. Anyway he re-plugged the little plug inside and it worked fine. I'm still to pick it up and test it myself but this is what I was told today so just thought I'd share it with you guys. Maybe that's what you need to get done.

Please note that if your unit is under warranty (like mine WAS), this would pretty much void it.

you guys probably need to make sure the handbrake switch wire is properly connected to the handbrake switch or do a bypass on the unit that would let you use a toggle switch(which I find annoying), PTR 7 or a 4 pin relay to get pass the need to have the handbrake up. Unless you had an issue like mine where the unit actually needed to be opened and something re-connected, you should be fine doing one of those.

You probably need to get the handbrake switch wire properly attached to the handbrake switch. Some people have also used a toggle switch or something and run the handbrake switch wire to that and the wire from the handbrake switch to a ground on the vehicle, then you just have to flick the switch off and on EVERYTIME you start the car to do the bypass.

Though what I'd really suggest just getting a 4 pin relay and do a bypass. You can also use a 5 pin relay and do it, just don't use the 87a pin. Another clean way to do it would be getting a PTR 7 but this costs a bit more and needs to be programmed. This should allow you to look at DVD's with vehicle moving or not.

Now this is ONLY in the case that you have done the bypass or at least grounded the handbrake cable properly to get past the warning screen and nothing else works.

Do you have the green cord that attaches to the parking break hooked up?
This stereo is designed so that you cannot watch videos while driving, therefore you need to have the parking break on in order to get video.
when you play a dvd with out the parking break on, you will only get sound.

agenore have you solved this problem yet? If not I know how you can get past this.

I'm having the same problem, have you been able to solve it yet?

To be working the ipod need to be hook up with the cable cd-1200 (not sold with the avh)and to be plug to the ipod plug on the back of the radio..if you plug the ipod on the usb it wont do..the cable is around 30 $ ..it is the good way to play your ipod ..but if you have a ipod touch 2 generation like i have it wont charge ..if you have any other ipod it will be charging when in use..

in menu or setup you should have an option to reverse screen

It is "Ilegal" yo watch and drive at the same time, therefore the manufacturers made a security feature that only allows the unit to function when the car is parked, this means that at the moment of installing there is a cable in the back of the head unit that is supposed to be conected to the emergency break so it detects when the car is parked and displays video. There is a very esay solution to this problem, you just have to install a switch to this cable instead of connecting it to the emergency brake. If you did not connect the cable at all it is not going to work. When you install the switch the unit resets every time the ignition is on so you will have to push the switch on and then off then press the ok button on the screen

I have been looking in to this, but there does not seem to be a hack available.

you want to play music or a film on the laptop and run it through the Pioneer HTZ-170DVD Region Free Home Theater System and through speakers? I don't see why not. You would use the audio out on the laptop and connect to the audio input on the Pioneer. If the laptop has HDMI, it is even easier. Here is the manual.
