Nevermind. Found a couple of YouTube videos on it. We have dual zone but I think the installers must not of hooked up the rear audio wire in back of head unit. Either that or the rca ones. Not sure which ones Control sound for videos being sent to rear screen. When I dismantled rear screen there were rca's not hooked up (did not even see a place for them to plug in actuly) yet it had a plug n play connected so I figured that was in place of. Anyways, may have Best Buy take a look.

I like unit but if you are shopping now think it has been discontinued.

Here's mine, post #24. Kenwood DNX999HD with a CMOS-310 rear and CMOS-210 front.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...options-2.html

The post after mine says you loose steering wheel control. I love their cameras though. As stated in a previous post map updates are $pendy! I bought it because it was supposed to have the easiest UI. Grandma and grandpa drive it all around the country. To be honest I only use it to see a map of where I already am. If I want to go somewhere I use google maps and set my phone on the screen.

On that note they do have a new version that will take prompts from your phone. So you search and set with your phone then tell the head unit to take over.

And I've never had an issue with Pioneer head units.
Our Pioneer AVIC 7000 NEX lets you. It has a plug in the back that you would connect to.

i have a pioneer f700bt and i love it.

older unit update from ebay for 20 bucks. compaired to my garmin it has things i like more (layout only really)

camera not fully installed but i ran it and it looks good.

bluetooth works good mic is clear and i can hear the other person clearly. it does have a volume glitch once in a great while.


if you want dvd in the front the f900bt is the one you want.

overall for 220 bucks (radio+install kit+update) im super happy

I put in a JVC and a hardwired backup cam. I love "most" of it.

Will be dumping the JVC for an Android dual-zone unit whenever I get the time.

100x the features of brand-name stuff at 1/3 the cost. Plus GoogleNav, maps always updated for free

Do you mean having more than one thing on the screen at the same time? If so initially it didn't. But with a recent update when running the pioneer app I found a new screen that divides the screen into 4 zones, map, radio, weather and I forgot what the 4th is. I don't drive the X much anymore, so he update could've been from months ago!

I just ordered a Joying 4.4.4.4 quad core android head unit. Should be here this week. They really are feature packed for the money and I have had my fill of the expensive HU's that dont work any better.

I'm liking that one too, not in a big hurry to get it, so looking forward to your feedback on it.

Of all the Chinese Radios you can buy, they look like they are fairly well supported. They get good reviews elsewhere. I do get a kick out of the company videos:


EDIT: For some reason I really want a keyboard and mouse hooked to mine. Probably never use it, but neat that it is possible. Perhaps one of these:

My surround panel is cracked where the factory radio sits on it anyhow. I am planning on having to do a bit of minor trimming to fit it. If not that will be a bonus. I will document the install and let you all know.

UPS "lost" it at their Dallas hub. After a few calls to get them to actually put a note on the tracking number that it was in fact lost, then a few emails to "carjoying" they agreed to send me another one. I hope they aren't shipping in a glossy full color photo box of whats inside it....

I had a pioneer double din head unit in my excursion when I got it. The joying (US-JY-UQ130) 7 inch double din slides in the space vacated by the pioneer with little effort. No additional trimming or cutting. It has two sd slots one loaded with your choice of igo with here maps or sygic with maps for offline navigation. I am well satisfied for $289.
