I have the apple cable, and I have this problem. It's a shame. I'd assume its not your cable.

Unless this Monster cable is some how terrific. The name suggests otherwise.

I had a similar problem I believe. The sound was quieter out of that right channel too. The problem happened rarely and then became more and more prevalent. I then could not stop it from happening. I obviously had checked all connections and put it down to something to with the Pioneer iPod cable. RCA plugged in, differnt iPod same result.

In the end made the jump to the Apple one, still working now.

Version: 3.0

Model: F700

Legitimate: Yes (Pioneer 2 sd card set from Crutchfield)

Opinion: Copying error on SD 1, failed install

Possible Improvements: Wish I had ignored the Pioneer 2.06 upgrade notice

 

Report:

SD 1 inserted, install starts

 

install failed at 94% installed

 

red error screen: Copying error/Storage card/LPUE080/APL2/IGO/.....speech/components/vf ....

 

Rebooted:

 

Menu screen comes up

 

went to system settings

 

System settings

 

Map set : None

System ..: None

 

didn't proceed .....

I did the 2.06 upgrade and had no problem with 3.0.

its 6:15am in Tokyo.

So, what 4 hours and we should be good?

Yea it doesnt work.

I dont get how they cant generate a password for us on their end if we were to call.

There is no unit out there that I am aware of that looks as nice as the Avic. A lot of the units have these tacky menus.

Bump. Mods could merge all into 1 thread such as this.

I'm having the same problem

I was told won't be fixed until Monday their time. So Sunday morning for us.

Wonder if they can manually generate a password for us.

Hello all,

Just recieved my update in the mail. I enter in my media number and device number and get incorrect device

number and error 1.

Double check everything. All ok.

I call pioneer and after 15 min and giving in all my info I am told the servers are based in Japan and down.

Anyone else not able to have their password generated recently?

Thanks

Well the time has come with Pioneer shipping out a batch of SD cards with 3.0. Figured we needed a centralized place for posting opinions/ results for the 3.0 update rather than loads of different threads from each person.

A suggested format

Version: 3.xx

Model: F500, F700, F900, F90

Legitimate: Was it ordered from Pioneer (Yes) or was it installed using a torrent or similar source (No)

Hello all,

I have recently set up a complete car audio set up from amp to speakers.

I have component speakers in the front and composite speakers in the rear. I feel as if the car lacks some bass.

I was thinking of making my 6.5" composite rears act as subwoofers, forced to only play the bass. Is there any problem in doing so? Blow the speakers?

Am i just avoiding the inevitable, that I need real subwoofers?

Thank you,

Phil

Anyone?

Hello all,

I have gone through two P10 HD Units and was wondering if the P20 was any more reliable.

Anyone have any problems with the P20?

Anyone have any problems with the P10 and have had much more luck with the P20?

Thank you,

Phil

Just to follow up, the Apple Composite Cable does work, but I was unable to find it one without the power adapter.

Thanks for the help!

As far as I understand, RCA is just the connecting tips of a Composite cable...

I believe my link is for the composite cable...

1 yes, 1 no

Anyone else...

Hello,

Would this cable let me control the ipod from the head unit and obviously view and hear what is being played? In other words act just like the Pioneer apple cable...

My Pioneer cable has fallen apart, hoping this will be a bit more durable.

Thank you,

Phil

well ckelly sounds like your hardware bypass didnt work right. The whole point of the hardware bypass was so you dont get that warning over 10mph.

It should and does work on the 2 versions and sounds like IAF's version too.

Thanks for the video! Just ordered mine!

Does the system boot up any quicker?

Thanks again

Thank you very much IAF!!

Lots of questions will be answered with the video. Looking forward to it. Thanks again.

Small question:

If you have a HD Radio, are the presets now showing the channel name, in the preset listing?

I should have the 3.0 update installed on Tuesday on my F900BT EU.

I know somebody who already has it, and i should see him on tuesday to get it too.

Will let you know...

 

you gotta take a pic to prove it...

 

but interested to know whats changed!

 

There you go...

I have the p10 currently with the avic f90bt. so is it worth my money to upgrade to the p20?

Only possible difference seems to be in durability issues. Could be nothing though. I might have a knack for blowing up P20's too

it might not be better in terms of functionality. However if it is more durable than the P10 then yes it is much better than mine. 1 Day and a brand new unit blew up, but it had to wait until i mounted it and put my dash back together. How considerate.

Thanks a lot for the vid!

Saying your P20 is the same as the P10 is an insult to the P20.

The problems with the P10 seem enough for me to try the P20 over the P10.

yeap in the same boat. Going to try convince the company to give me my money back, saves them shipping me new ones every two weeks, and me installing and shipping em back.

I wonder if thats the difference though.

The P10 now does not say compatible with our models. It says "Compatible with the following Pioneer headunits:

FH-P800BT, FH-P8000BT, DEH-P700BT, DEH-P7000BT"

The P20HD does not list compatible units...
