I fitted a fancy Pioneer AVH Z7200 DAB radio last year. Flip screen, Apple CarPlay, etc. Generally really pleased with it, especially the Google Maps, which offers a pretty good satnav facility.
The only small hiccup is that the hands-free phone facility didn't appear to work. I can make calls, the person at the other end can hear me through the mic but I can hear nothing in the car. I contacted Pioneer yesterday and their customer support was impressive. I had two responses, both within a couple of hours of my original query.
So long story short, the phone facility only works on the front speakers, not the rears. It's a function of all similar Pioneer products these days. Guess what... no front speakers in the T350, so I'm stuck.
Apraently the only way round this is to connect the 'rear' speakers to the 'front' outlets within the AVH. It was all a very tight squeeze to get it installed in the first place so I think my specialist may be called in next month at service and MoT time.
Anyone else experienced a similar problem?
PS. My main use for the unit is the satnav, I find I don't listen to much music!

I have the same unit in my car and I couldn’t work out why the phone wasn’t working properly…so this is really helpful.
I plan to actually switch this unit out for one that looks a bit nicer in my Tuscan, but that’s another Pioneer unit too so likely to have the same problems.
I’ve seen there’s very cheap (fake) Alpine tweeter speakers available on eBay - I may see if I can connect some of them up and conceal them somewhere in the front of the car.
At least with the 72000 you have the wires loose as well as the quick connectors so shouldn’t be too hard to link something to the front speaker outputs.
