Pioneer AVH-X8800BT is a 2 DIN car CD/DVD multimedia receiver for drivers who want to control radio, discs, and connected audio and video sources from one unit. It has a 7-inch clear-type resistive touchscreen, two rear USB inputs, and Bluetooth connectivity. At its release, it also supported Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and AppRadio Mode.
Screen and Front Panel
The WVGA touchscreen is resistive, so it should not be confused with a capacitive display. Its adjustable tilt helps position the picture for the car’s dashboard. The screen is motorized, and the front panel can be removed completely. Allow space for the screen to move when planning the installation; the removable panel can be taken with you when you leave the car.
Selectable widescreen modes and automatic brightness and backlight adjustment help adapt the display to different viewing conditions. The RGB button illumination can be matched to the dashboard lighting, and the unit also offers multicolor illumination.
Phones, Media, and Video Sources
Two rear USB inputs let you plan separate connection routes, for example for a phone and a USB drive. An SD slot compatible with SDHC cards offers another media option. The disc player accepts CDs and DVDs, while the FM/AM tuner stores radio stations. A rear auxiliary AV input provides a connection for another audio or video source.
Bluetooth supports hands-free calls and music streaming. Automatic phonebook transfer lets you select contacts on the receiver’s screen. MIXTRAX is a separate music playback feature. Supported file formats differ between CD, DVD, USB, and SD media, so check the relevant specification row when choosing how to store your files.
Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and AppRadio Mode were features of this model when it was released. Their original inclusion does not establish whether today’s phones, operating systems, apps, or services will work with it. Some of the listed connection methods for older iPhone and Android phones require specific cables sold separately. The receiver has no built-in GPS navigation; the optional AVIC-F260 module was offered for navigation.
Connecting and Adjusting the Sound System
Three pairs of RCA preamp outputs serve the front, rear, and subwoofer channels. They allow separate amplifiers to be connected for those channels when the car’s sound system calls for them. The built-in MOSFET amplifier’s 50 W × 4 rating is its maximum output power, not a continuous power rating.
A 13-band graphic equalizer lets you shape the sound. High-pass and low-pass filters help direct frequencies to the connected speakers and subwoofer channel. Sonic Center Control adjusts the position of the sound center, while source level adjustment helps even out volume when switching sources. Advanced Sound Retriever is also available for Bluetooth audio.
Dual-zone operation allows different sources to be used in the front and rear of the car. A rear video output provides a connection for an additional display. The rear-view camera input and image switching function support a camera installation; the camera itself is an optional accessory.
Installation and Included Items
The receiver is designed for a 2 DIN dashboard opening. Leave room in front for the motorized screen to move and behind the unit for cables connected to its rear ports. Rear connections include HDMI, RGB, AV, USB, and camera options, along with an ISO connector and a wired remote input.
The package includes two USB extension cables and one external Bluetooth microphone. Remote controls, phone connection cables, an HDMI cable, the navigation module, a rear-view camera, and an automatic sound calibration microphone are optional accessories.
