Autos Fans: How to change the colors on the Pioneer Premium audio system

  • 12pleze · 7 months ago
    Scion Pioneer PREMIUM audio system?I have a new 09 scion and i got the premium audio System along with it (i know it doesn't change the sound). My original thought was that it had the sub hookups, but after speaking to an installation company (who made me very mad), they are saying that i need to pay for a piece that will hook up the subs to the premium system, and that i WILL NOT be able to control the subs through the system. in the menu section, there is a "SUBWOOFER" section though? does anybody have the Scion Pioneer Premium System in their scion and have subs hooked up to it? does it work? I would hate to think i spent an additional $400 so that i can add my subs to the stock radio for nothing

    IT IS NOT STOCK AS IT IS A PIONEER WITH 240 WATTS AND HAS HOOKUP FOR SCION SUBWOOFER WHICH IS AN OPTION ALONG WITH 240 WATT AMP.

    On A Scion XB, It Better To Get The Premium Pioneer System Or Your Own Audio System?If you get the Pioneer Premium System does that come with louder speakers and a Sub-woofer? Or is it better to get my own in-dash cd player with louder speakers and sub-woofers?

    Its unlikley it comes wit ha subwoofer and if it does no bigger than an 6-8" sub... a custom soundsystem is ALWAYS better than a stock soundsystem... even if it is premium sound

    When you ask if it is "better" do you have an understanding of how much an aftermarket system will cost compared to the "premium" sound of the manufacturer? an up charge from Scion is around 1200.00 if you want a decent head unit that does cd/dvd/nav that alone will cost 14-1800.00 door speaker upgrades will run around $600 plus and if you want an amp/s and a sub you can expect to pay another 1200.00 for nothing more than a prefabricated "boom" box. a "system" is exactly what it sounds like; a complete system of components that work well together to produce high end sound. any time you ask for custom work to be done you can expect to pay $$$$ for it. conversely the premium sound from Scion is made up from Pioneer parts and sounds pretty darn good for the money. At my shop we build show cars for the manufacturers and private clients, $$ add up quick when you are wanting custom.

    im not sure with the xb but with the tc. you can take the indash cd player out and theres 3 plug ins like you would hook a ps2 or any modern game system up too im not sure what they're called but im sure you can find them at a local electronic store. and what you do is plug them in and then hook up the rest of your system like you would with any other car.hope that helps
