So, just going back to the start of this thread and the battery drain issue...

Is it just a case of removing the original Subaru double din unit and plugging the Pioneer in, or do I need to do some weird wiring to stop it from draining my battery or losing all of its memories?

 

It just plugs straight in - my battery drain issue was merely coincidental and not related to the head unit.

It has been fitted using an ISO/Scoob adapter - works great.

I have uncovered a problem with the Sony P910i though which is not great. When I answer most calls it crashes the BT connection. Making calls is fine though.

Works fine with a K700i though.

I contacted Sony and they kind of admitted it and said there was nothing they could do.

 

Good news - it now works with the p910i.

User error - sort of - you need to make a setting in the phone that is not in the manual and Sony support did not know about it!!

Does anyone use this unit with a phone which has voice dialling facility and what needs doing to set it up?
