Hi, Many thanks - this worked perfectly. Would you also happen to know what is required to get the TMC to work? Until I get the Avic professionally fitted I just have it powered by the cigarette lighter power lead to the actual avicf500. Does the TMC only work if the cradle is powered? Thanks again,

Is the 3.0 Download still available from the torrent... I can't seem to download it.

Anyone?

Hold reset and eject together, then release the reset button but continue to hold eject. The screen will go in and the come back out.

Hi from a Newbie! I have an Avic X1 (Euro model similiar to N1 I believe), which has been fitted in my 2000 Camaro SS (I imported the car from Canada), for several years, but now, it has no idea where I am. When I go to the status menu, it shows no satellites being received, but says the position is OK. The VSS is hooked up and the hideaway unit is facing the correct way. Does anyone have any idea's as to what would cause me to loose all satellites? Also, as there are virtually no Camaro's over here, the shop that installed the unit made a bit of a hash of the job - so can I ju
