    replaced my stock head unit today with a pioneer AVH-270BT. Screen has a slight flicker on radio mode. Do yours do this? Had it professionally installed, so don't believe this is the issue. Overall very happy with it. Truck gets super loud now.

    Run it by the shop that installed it and/or call pioneer about it. I installed the same unit in my father in laws Ranger and my buddies Scion, If they had that issue I would have heard about it by now.

    I'm running it by the install shop this weekend. Pioneer says it has something to do with the radio receiving metadata for the song title/artist info, and it's causing the screen to refresh and flicker. I'm going to have them swap it out for another head.

    No but I did have them reconnect my steering wheel controls to the new head. May be affecting it also.
