Can you be a little more specific as to what you did? I REALLY want to change the background.

 

ok its kind of ghetto and not a built in feature but if you have something that can output video there is an option on the background to display av or video, just choose that and hook something up that outputs video, in my case my zune music player that i use for music and as my background.

 

sub box i just made

 

i was comparing this one to some others and one big thing it is supposed to have is a USB hookup.

Where is that located?

 

Mine came with a USB cable, and the hook up is in the back of the unit. I ran mine into the glove box and I leave it there. I hooked up a flash drive this week and it works great.

 

yeah my usb hookup is run through the glove box, i don't really know the capabilities of it yet though. Has anyone tried it out?

 

I have a SanDisk 1GB USB Flash Drive plugged in at the moment. As soon as I plugged in, the player recognized it and started to play. I have about 250 songs on it. The next step is to try and change the back ground on it.

 

Is the firmware hackable to change the background?

I don't know if anyone hacks car stereos, but Im sure they do since its just a computer. especially with the new GUI interfaces...

 

can the bypass be done without a switch.its kinda ghetto i would rather just pop in a dvd and go down the road instead of playing with a button.

 

How to put background picture?
I check the user manual but it doesnt show the direction.

 

Pretty clean box there, good work.

 

Yup

 

Hi Sotex,

I am having a hard time figureing out what you did. Pioneer customer support is worthless. Did you plug your Zune into the USB port or into the AV inputs in the back? Did you put any special folder on your Zune? Did you have to turn your Zune on and open the picture on the Zune for it to work? In the screen where you select what you want on the P4000, what does it looks like (i.e. the settings)?

You are the first person after countless hours of searching that I have seen who has figured out how to change the background picture. If you could provide some details and the steps you take I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,

Dace
