The distributor have included some excellent touches and this means good value. You can believe this review, i hope you can try to buy this product if you want know this product. After waiting for the ACH-8400 to finally release for about 4 months, I picked mine up from an amazon seller for 150 bucks less than other retailers were selling them for. Received the head unit about a week ago, installed it, and used it without a parking brake bypass for about 4 days. I found it a little upsetting the things you couldn't do without engaging the parking brake (twice), but once I received and installed the bypass the head units functionality opened up ten fold. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INSTALLING A PARKING BRAKE BYPASS. While I don't encourage watching video or any other activity that could possibly impare your driving, I believe that some core functions should be able to be used without the parking brake engaged.
Screen Quality/Build: The 7''/16:9 800x400 VGA display looks crystal clear and some of the best I've ever seen on a in dash screen. Videos look nice and sharp. The anti-glare/smudge screen work well, but just like any of head unit direct sunlight will make it harder to view. However, the screen stays mostly free of smudges and fingerprints despite how much you will be touching the screen.
User Interface: The AVH-8400's UI is pretty sharp and snazzy. Almost everything you see can be customized and changed to your preference. Button color, text color, and even the background image can be changed. The UI responds fairly quickly when you are switching between functions, but can sometimes be a little wonky. The Pandora app needs to be launched through the phone before being used through the deck making you have to get your phone out to do so, but it's not that big of a deal. The bluetooth audio connects and disconnects very quickly, as well as has GREAT sound quality. The BT mic works very well - people tell me they can hear me perfectly even on highway roads (I drive a WRX STi, so it can get a little loud sometimes.). I have a strange issue when I plug in my phone that the bluetooth audio will sometimes take priority over the phone's audio, causing me to have to replug the cable to the phone. I simply just turned off the bluetooth audio option and I haven't had the problem since. The main audio screens are cleverly designed so that BT calling, track finding, EQ adjustments, and other things are available as a side screen rather than navigating away to use another function.
AppRadio: I haven't purchased any apps other than the free ones recommended, but even with the included apps I find it very useable. The calendar/date function is nice if you use your phones calendar a lot (i.e. MSExchange). The google maps function is also great for simple navigation and beats the HELL out of looking down at your phone all the time while driving. MixTrax is fun to play with, but I don't really see myself using it much in the future. All in all, the AppRadio function has great potential and will have more apps available as it goes on.
Overall, the head unit work great and has a ton of features to boot. I would recommend the 8400 to anyone looking for it's features and to those on the fence between the 4400 and the 8400. The screen resolution in it self is well worth the extra investment and after all, It is what you are looking at 100% of the time. The unit has very minor hiccups, but none worth chopping a whole star off for. If I could give it a 4.7, I would, but I feel like it's worthy of the round up to 5.
P.S. - This is the working parking brake bypass I used with the unit. Parking Brake Override Bypass Fully Automatic Video in Motion Pioneer Custom for AVH-P8400BH Better then PAC TR7
UPDATE:
I've messed with a couple other neat things of the head unit. None of them effect the score at all, but I just wanted to let readers know of other functions.
- First things first, Netflix WORKS in AppRadio mode! Just by starting Netflix on my phone and swapping to Advanced App Mode it picked up the video right away. It even pulled Youtube videos the same way. Nice! While the Google Maps app in App mode works fine, it doesn't do turn by turn. It also doesn't allow you to use compass view mode, which gets a little confusing when you forget which way you are facing but other than that it functions like a champ. MotionX GPS does turn by turn and even voicing directions. Totally worth the $1 buck ! The only issue with the app is that you have to use the phone to edit your destination, which makes since, however it displays the full HUD nicely on the head unit. The only annoyance I've found is that to change tracks, you're forced to go back to the MediaApp or switch back to normal mode.
- I made a comment about the audio snapping out because of the BT audio taking over and turning off the BT audio to solve the problem, but I found that if you just let the deck connect to the phone before plugging it in solves this problem. BT connects pretty quickly, so I just have to make sure I plug in my phone after turning on my car.
- When using Pandora, you DO NOT have the use the Pandora App provided if you don't want to. It displays all info fine in the iPod source controls just fine and will allow you to control everything through it's interface, however you won't be able to thumbs up, thumbs down, or read the artist information through the head unit. Something else I noticed that if you are using iPod source, you can just press the Artist, album, or even song title and it will direct you to that information. Sweet!
