    Front Defroster Not Blowing Hard

    Haven't tried diags. Will look up instructions and test. Didn't try recycle as it was already hard to see and I thought that would make it worse. When I select the dash vents, there is not much air at all, although you can hear the fan blowing on high. It is almost like something is...

    cold/hard start issues, wondering if anyone has had same issue? 06 LS

    I have had this happen twice since I got my most recent 2006 LS. I got it in April. I had to do as Joe said, push the gas all the way to the floor and worked fine afterwards. I have had all but 2 of the coils replaced and all plugs replaced.

    Front Defroster Not Blowing Hard

    Hi all, We just had our first good snow. My front window defroster doesn't have much air coming out. You can hear the fan blowing full tilt but not much output. Heat seems fine otherwise. I did just have the cabin air filter replaced at dealer. Not sure if that could have contributed. I...

    Installing Pioneer 8000Nex Today - 2006 LS

    Still need to get steering controls hooked up plus mod the illumination so it automatically dims. Biggest issue is still EQ. Been playing with crossover and EQ quite a bit but am struggling. I have some experience in running sound but just am not getting to a complete sweet spot. Need to...

    Hey guys, no, sorry. I took some pics at night but they were pretty bad. Been working a bunch the last couple weeks so haven't spent much time with it. Will make another attempt in the morning.

    Installing Pioneer 8000Nex Today - 2006 LS

    Will post pics this weekend. I had to button up the install before I got the steering wheel controls figured out. (Thanks Joe & Loud) for all your help. I still have to hook up the following: 1. Steering wheel controls. 2. Modify illumination wire. The unit doesn't change with the...

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about your issues. There is lots of great help here. I am on my 3rd LS. I had a 2000 that lasted to 217K or so then a 2006 that I had to sell when the economy turned and now just picked up another 2006 about 6 weeks ago. Hope you get it worked out and can...

    Installing Pioneer 8000Nex Today - 2006 LS

    Hey Audio Guys, I did this 5 years ago with a F900bt but honestly forgot everything I did. A few questions: 1. I am only going to use the sub amp and not the center speakers. Which blue wire on the 70-5521 do I use? There are two on the little one with the RCAs and one on the bigger...

    Pioneer 8000nex in 2006 LS

    Is it one for each output or do you tie them together with one resistor? Also, any recommendations on a backup camera? Particularly one that will do night vision?

    Pioneer 8000nex in 2006 LS

    Okay, one last question, (for now). Do you think I should get the Axxess Interface AFDI-5V Ford 12V to 5V Step Down or just use the resistor method for the 8000nex? I did the resistors with my F900bt but don't remember the values. Would have to go back and look it up. OP

    NM, on the above, I just realized 1LoudLS already answered. I just missed it thinking that was the double din dash kit.

    Pioneer 8000nex in 2006 LS

    Okay, I decided to go ahead and give this a try. I can't stand trying to put up with only having local radio. May regret but, we will see. Any advice on which steering wheel controller to get that would work with the 8000nex? OP

    Pioneer 8000nex in 2006 LS

    Thanks for the info on that one. I had an Avic 900BT in my last 2006 and it worked well except for the navi would take you odd ways sometimes. I bought it used from a member here who was great to work with. It had an extended warranty that I had to use to get the screen fixed. That being...

    Pioneer 8000nex in 2006 LS

    Thanks for the info. I have been doing some reading on them and most of the complaints are around it not supporting maestro very well. That isn't a biggie for me. I am really looking for a good interface for my phone and in dash navigation. The capacitive screen and the responsiveness is...

    Pioneer 8000nex in 2006 LS

    Been a while since I have been here. I had to sell my 2006 from before but have gotten another one. I am considering the Pioneer 8000nex for in dash navigation. I currently have the system with the indash 6 disc factory radio. This unit should have Apple Carplay this summer so that seems...
