Applying and reapplying the parking brake still does not give me access to the Bluetooth settings

If you cannot access the Bluetooth settings on your Pioneer AVH-2330NEX after applying the parking brake, ensure that the parking brake is fully engaged. The system disables certain functions, including Bluetooth settings, unless the parking brake is applied. If the settings remain grayed out, check if the parking brake wiring is correctly connected or if there is an issue with the parking brake switch.

To preset radio channels on the Pioneer AVH-2330NEX:

1. Tune to the desired radio channel using the arrow keys or by directly entering the channel number.
2. Press and hold one of the preset buttons (e.g., number 1 to 6) for a few seconds.
3. The selected channel will be saved to that preset button.

Alternatively, you can use the BSM (Best Stations Memory) function:

1. Touch the BSM option to begin the search.
2. The system will automatically store the six strongest broadcast frequencies under preset buttons 1 to 6.

Note: Using BSM may overwrite existing presets.
