FAQ



BT ERROR-02 module error
Pair Pioneer SPH-DA120 with a whistle on the RK-3128T - from imintsev
How to convert video for GU

Q. In my movement, some of the items turn gray and the video does not play.
A. This is done for safety. In the movement there are restrictions on the use of some functions.
As well as watching the video. The sound will go but the picture for the front passengers will be blocked
To get around this you need to connect the Green cable to ground.
Even if you have a steering adapter and there is an outlet for connecting the green wire (handbrake).
still connect it to ground.

FW firmware

GU is a small constructor, which consists of how many devices.

FW history:

1.07 Basic working version.

1.08 was released to support iDatalink Maestro, which is available on US models but not available in Europe.
For convenience, version 1.08 is pre-installed on European devices. But this has no advantage over version 1.07.

1.09 was released for the American version, to solve small problems with work (iDatalink and Pandora)
European devices do not support these services. Therefore, this update will not be available for them.

1.11 in addition to the main firmware, there is an updated firmware for the BT module W03.41.11

1.12 Separate firmware for the SPH-DA120 was not, but met pre-installed.

  2. Press keySetting then BT
  3. SelectUpdate Bluetooth software

On the GU, the Navitel application is not displayed.


There is no Navitel in this device.


If you really need it, then everything is written in the header about Navitel! (Full navigation for Pioneer SPH-DA120 (AppRadio4) ver 2.2)



Rep: (1013)
* Barodar,
Navitel was only available in AppRadio mode
But with the latest updates, he stopped working in this mode.
I did not check the latest versions.

In Carplay mode, only when using JB is it possible to run third-party applications during installationCarbridge
There is no other possibility.



Rep: (1)
Who can tell, dumped the terminals from the battery. Connected back. Settings rushed. After some time, I noticed that the clock was not installed. In the settings, it shows the absence of an antenna and satellite signal. I tried to disconnect the antenna itself physically and turn it back on. Did not help. What could happen? Dead?

People, tell me .. is it worth changing our Pioneer tohttps: //ru.aliexpress...999.259.411c3c00tlJc1V
How much worse is China (cTDA 7851)? can anyone compare?
for understanding, I have an Alpine PDX-F4 amplifier, speakers on it front + sub, rear from the head.
I’m tired of the strangeness of our head .... the sound can be "spoiled" as if ... you will reboot a couple of times better .. then again, here I’m looking for an alternative with Android auto or full navigation and a bigger screen.

You need a GU with a sound processor to adjust the delay, otherwise you will not get a clear localization and a clear (knocked down) bass.

Da130 is also a z5x series.
By the way, this year they promised in the Russian Federation

at 130y I do not see the hdmi connector
declared caplay and android auto, but is it possible to connect a full-fledged android how do we do it for the 120th through arur?

HDMI probably doesn’t make sense anymore, via USB a smartphone is connected that supports Android cars and a full-fledged android on your GU screen. Samsung A7 is working.

The latest version of Navitel on Redmi 5 Plus + App radio + Miracast adapter - everything works fine. In App radio, Navitel in compatible applications does not appear, but it continues to work !!! Navitel + iphon 4s + adapter + appradio cable the same thing worked, but the phone was very hot, switched to android.

Good day! The question is on the rear camera, namely when the pioneer starts up and turns on the reverse gear, the image is smooth and clear, but as soon as the peony starts up, a warning message appears, and the image is jerky and "noisy", how can I remove it? Thank.

Tell me where to get a touch?
Went in bubbles. Squeeze the air did not work. In some places, not an active touch.
Only the original? Or maybe some combination? Those. to tear off all the excess from the original glass and stick it on a universal touch? (like this:https://aksmob.ru/tach...gnitol-emkostnye.html)
On ebee option for 8 tr - not a humane price tag. And another shipment. all 10 tr coming out. Already doubts arise whether it is worth repairing at all or just throwing it away.

Good afternoon! Please tell me why the SPH-DA120 does not play bluetooth music from either the iPhone X or the iPod touch. All firmware updated. CarPlay - everything is ok. Bluetooth calls and phone controls - approx. Here are just the bluetooth source icons on the main screen and the “note” in the bluetooth settings pale / inactive. Accordingly, Mouzon on bluetooth is not lost.

If I’m not mistaken, then when you connect a device via cable (USB or HDMI), he writes that BT playback will not be possible. Those. you need to decide: music either by wire or by BT.



Rep: (0)
Thank. But, unfortunately, nothing is connected 100% by wire. But the bluetooth for playing music still remains inactive.
