You need the Apple adapter, an HDMI cable and a lightning cable to run it. It uses the HDMI for sound / images and bluetooth for control. The lightning cable coming out of the Apple AV adapter merely charges your phone.

Seems that resetting everything including unplugging the harness from the back of the deck resolved the issue here. I'm thinking it was some glitch in the bluetooth connection, but I can't confirm that 100%

Thanks for the tips, appreciate it.

I deleted and re-installed all of the apps to no avail unfortunately.

Hey guys, hope all is well. My setup just decided not to work any longer - I just replaced my digital a/v adapter as well with no luck.

Bluetooth connects, the HDMI seems to connect, but when I try to access it, it prompts me to open the appradio on my phone and does absolutely nothing from that point. Sometimes I get the locked message as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't handle another week of crappy FM radio.

Hey guys, firstly thanks for all the info I have gotten here so far!

I bought the F900 a few years back on Ebay and it's been in storage until this Tuesday. I remember powering it up in 2011 and saw it working then.

I installed it on Tuesday and everything ran as it should, although I didn't hook up the parking brake wire until further on in the day. I drove around and got a good 30 minutes use out of the FM radio. Later that day I got to the finer points of the install. Hooked up the parking brake wiring, VSS, RCA cluster connector and the GPS. I started up the vehicle and the splash screen came up, then came up again, and again... 

At this point I started reading on here and got into service mode. I downloaded the FX 3.1 bundle and clean formatted an 8GB SD card and gave it a go. I followed the procedure to a t and hit the reset when finished.

The next time I started the vehicle up the screen was blank. I tried I few dozen times all to no avail, at this point I started going through the reset / test mode / etc. and nada. All that happens now is the unit illuminates, then sometimes flashes the LEDs and shuts itself down. I've tried everything imaginable and I cannot enter the service mode. I get the speaker pop but that's as far as it will take me.

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Much appreciated! 

Thanks.
