i am buying a pioneer avh-p6400 off the internet and went to 2 local audio shop to get some prices on how much they would charge to hook up the screen with a ps2,cd changer and power-inventer one said $175-225 the other one was $150 i have hook a 2 pioneer cd players in my car because i all had to do was match the colors and i know how to hook up a cd changer.i was wondering what is the different is hooking up the avh-p6400 and i regular cd player and how would i hook the ps2 up?

 

Since this is not an Accord specific application, youd probably get better/more info here

 

to power the PS2 you need a power inverter, you can find them at auto parts stores for around $30-$50. The pioneer deck will have RCA a/v inputs that the PS2's cable will connect to. The wirring for the deck is the same as pretty much any other deck, power, speakers... etc. The deck can be mounted in a standard dash kit for your car.

 

i was reading that i would have to ground the green wire to some metal so that the screen while the car is in drive is that the only one

 

that is correct or do it to a switch that you can flick on and off just incase a cop pulls you over then you can turn it off.

The reason for having a higher install price is they have the brain which is a sperate unit and then if it is professonal then they would run a new power wire to the power inverter. then they have to find a place to mount the ps2 securly and route all the wires nicely.

At my place PC Richards we install decks for 45 changers for 35 and power invertor for around 40.

 

i need a good spot to put my ps2 my cd changer goin behind my passengers side seat and i need somewhere to put my ps2 thanks for the help i will let yall know how it turns out when it comes in.Also do anyone any good or bad things about the pioneer 6400

 

What car is all this going into? Where is there room for the PS2? Where would you like it? Sometimes it can go in the glove box or just under a front seat.

The deck.... its a pioneer... nothin spectacular about it. If you havent purchased it yet, try to find an alpine or even a kenwood... much better quality.

 

96 honda accord and it would not fit in my glove box i wanted an alpine but didn't have enough money and i already had a pioneer cd changer and i got a good price on it

 

Yeah, money is usually the biggest deciding factor... thats probably why theres NO monitor or anything like that in my car.

I have no idea where to put a PS2 in that car... I have a 94 and I cant picture any real place to put it. If I ever get to that point, having one in my car, I want the controller ports and memory cards inside the ash tray with the rest of the console mounted somewhere else.

 

which one is better the pioneer avh-6400 or the alpine cva-1004
