This is because your favorites.dat got overwritten with the upgrade, so there are no favorites saved. As explained, you need to take the favorites.dat file from your backup (you DID make a backup, right?) and copy it to the /user/userdata/save folder in MY Flash Disk. -Eric

Here's a RAR file containing both the Av.exe and Video.exe files. These files are ones I edited myself from the 3.0 update currently installed on my F700. I do NOT know if they will work on other models (but they should) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL FILES IN CASE YOU NEED TO RESTORE! Unrar them (use WinRAR) and place both on your SD card (along with the testmode folder) Boot with the SD card and copy both files to the APL directory on My Flash Disk Remove SD card and reboot Many thanks to Tomi B. for discovering this, and Easty for finding the duplicate in Video.e

I listen to a ton of podcasts, etc. and I was annoyed with this too (see THIS post). Never mind the fact that it also starts at the beginning of the track every time you restart the car!... I don't think this has been resolved (yet). My solution was to just burn my podcasts to CD/RWs. MP3s play fine on CD, and it remembers where it left off when you restart the car. FFW/REW are also quite a bit faster, although I wouldn't mind them being even faster... -Eric

I played around with this a while ago. I haven't pursued it lately, but you can read my findings the second post by me (dericn) in THIS THREAD (about two-thirds of the way down the page). Please let us know if you make any headway!... -Eric

A little late with my reply, but I just stumbled across this item: http://www.vidswitch.com/ This will let you use the F90s rearview camera input with his existing cameras. A bit pricey, but RV owners tend to have deep pockets... -Eric

"Caution: screen image may appear reversed" at the top means that the rear camera is selected. Since you don't recognize this screen, you probably don't have a rear-view camera installed. The reverse wire is somehow connecting to ground (or 12V, depending on the setting). Check the violet/white wire. -Eric

Great work, Vandal!... I just dropped them into my F700 tonight, and all is well. I personally think they look even better than the originals!... My only (very minor) issue is with the XM55 logo. There isn't enough contrast with the gray background, so it's hard to make out the green "Margaritaville" text... -Eric

Then I think the mute wire method would be simple for him. There's a step-by-step guide (with pictures!) in THIS thread. -Eric

I'll save some searching. I originally posted it HERE -Eric

Those slider are for the nav voice volume, which CAN be speed dependant (and works very well). What Giessen is looking for is speed dependant AUDIO. Wish I could offer a solution, but I'm sure our resident hacking crew will figure it out eventually!... -Eric

Just a guess, but the _con might simply be the contact number associated with the POI. Many POIs have a telephone number listed. There may be a separate file that references the first field (#) to match up the phone number with the POI. -Eric

It's probably 0 to 4096 (2^11). Any chance that you can do math in a script? Multiplying the 0 to 4096 value by 0.087890625 will give you the 0 to 360 you want. -Eric

You CAN avoid roads and maneuvers. See this thread... http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16201 -Eric

Maybe it could just be renamed to "Released in June"... -Eric

That sounds pretty scary. Are you sure you didn't pry off the front of the AVIC itself!... -Eric

It's in the \APL2\iGo folder of the flash disk. -Eric

Excellent detective work there Stephanie!... I noticed at the top of the "navgatemap.ui" file, there are "State Modes" that indicate the navigation state. Might it be possible to use the "3DNavigateMode" flag to somehow enable/disable your 'hide' command? -Eric P.S. Wasn't it nice of Pioneer to leave all the comments in the files to help us figure it out?...

I've found that 'double-clicking' the X will close it. -Eric

Thanks, Stephanie! Now I can throw away that scrap of paper I documented my pinouts on when I removed my RCAs... Now we just have to figure out which one of those "No Connection" pins have to be grounded to enable standby mode when the key is turned off... -Eric

I have the Boyo VLT420 and am EXTREMELY pleased with it. It has a really wide view, and it's low light sensitivity is excellent. Highly recommended! I got mine on eBay for only $82 (from barneyselectronics). -Eric

And make sure you push it DEAD center! If you miss even slightly, you wind up changing tracks or zooming the map!... Can you tell that I'm not very happy with the ergonomics of that knob?... -Eric

And just to back up (no pun intended) what CamelTowing said... http://www.dericn.com/videos/AVIC/ReverseCamera.mov -Eric

If it looks like the picture in THIS THREAD, the answer is, you can't... -Eric

Most of you probably already discovered this, but one thing I've noticed is that, if you kill power to the ACC wire (IOW, turn the key off) while in the preliminary stage of booting, the AVIC will remain on for a few seconds. I assume this is so it can perform an orderly shutdown. This means that the unit is fully capable of remaining on without accessory power. Turning off the key simply 'triggers' the unit to shutdown. I don't see why Pioneer can't use this 'trigger' to enter suspend, hibernate etc. instead of just shutting down completely... At least they could have given us that c
