OEM Nav vs. Pioneer AVH-4100NEX

[slocaddy]

I did the avh4000nex in my 09 caddy and love it, I always use phone for nav. And all stock controls and buttons work just fine with radiopro5

50 bucks to not have to deal with it is a pretty good deal. The wiring harness for these cars is outrageously expensive too. I would say that's a fair deal.

Don't rule this deck out either. I'm not saying the 4100 isn't better but is it really $150 better? I run the 5700 and don't have any complaints.

what did you all pay for your 4100nex?

Maybe a little late, but I've had the 4100NEX in my 07 Tahoe with Bose for 3 months now. The stock Bose sounds great with it (better than stock) and I haven't had any distortion issues. I use it almost exclusively for Android Auto. I ran gmaps for a 6 hour trip and it definitely wasn't a data hog. Streaming XM is around 60-70mb per hour.

I heard the NEX line only puts out 1.6 amps so how did you compensate for the .5 amp power loss? how did you supplement?

I didn't have to, it kept my Note3 charged up surprisingly. I was planning to supplement with a 2.1 amp charger and wire up the power and leave the data running to the head unit, but I don't have to. It slowly charged (maybe 10% an hour) while using nav and streaming music

I have a note 4 and anything under 1.6 amps makes it decharge since I received a update a few months ago Ill have to figure a way to wire it out.

 

[vt_hokie2008]

USB cables have 4 wires in them I believe, two for power, two for data, so it shouldn't be too hard to wire that up (apart from dealing with tiny wires)

I was thinking of using something like this dual male usb to female with an Anker 9.6A PowerIQ charger to supplement the power from the radio because its supposed to adjust the needed voltage. what do you guys think?

I ment in terms of addinging additional power without having to split a usb cable.
