Yes I realized it when I first installed the HU when it told me I had the parking brake installed incorrectly! I just had the parking brake wired to a on/off switch which was wired to ground. Could this have caused my issue? I've fixed it now with the intended bypass.

I do live in SC and it is a pretty hot climate. However, the radio acts the same regardless of outside temp. Yes I have AC in the F150 and there is LOTS of room behind the HU for ventilation.

I have started a claim on eBay for a faulty unit.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply. I bought this unit used with the upgrade already completed. Stock F150. When I get the "snowy" screen i do not get the splash screen.

It almost seems like the unit is overheating or something. I just took out the harness and re-wired everything(this is pretty much a hard reset as well right?) just to make sure I had secure connections but still get the same result. I started the car up, the unit powered up normally. I turned car off then back on and get snowy screen. SOOO frustrating!!

Side note: the pink, purple, and orange wires that I don't have connected should have no impact on my current situation right? only operational functionality?

I have recently just switched from an AVIC D2 to the Z110BT. I bought this radio with the Z120BT upgrade and installed this radio yesterday but seem to be having issues now. I basically wired it up just like my D2( I didn't use the reverse, speed, or illumi wires). I also have wired in the parking brake bypass. When I first turned on the radio, everything seemed to be working fine. Then I noticed the time stopped updating but still had GPS tracking my vehicle. I turned the car off then on again but the radio would not start back up. It tries to but just goes to a white screen and the only thing I can do is open and close the screen. If I leave the car off for about an hour and try again I can get the radio to operate again. I have checked my wiring multiple times but can't seem to find the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

cover your unit with square trade....worth every penny

i have a d2 installed in my 05 f150 and it fits perfectly with the double din kit...just go to any stereo place and they will have it for you...

What I found out when I was burning the discs, if the disc didn't verify then it wouldn't work in the avic unit...So therefore you have a problem in your burning process...I eventually found out it was my burner and replaced with a pioneer 116d...contact me if you need a copy of the east disc...

mseller@clemson.edu

both are equivalent

that is correct

THANK YOU SOOO SOOO much for this update...I ended up having to get a new burner(Pioneer 116d-$28 from newegg) in order to burn the disc correctly ...but the update went smooth as can be on my D2!!!!!

i followed this procedure from raiden

Unzip the file with latest version of winrar so you have an .iso

download and open imgburn

go into Tools -> Settings

Go to the Write Tab

At the top right, (Layer Break), click on User Specified

Enter 2084960

Click on OK to go back to the main screen.

Click Write image file to disc

Click on the icon next to "Please select a file..."

Select your .iso file

make sure write speed is maximum 2.4x

Click on the "file to disc" icon at the bottom left of the screen. (Under the Verify option)

There you go!

and i used verbatim dvd+r dl disks

For those of you who can't get it and would like a copy contact me and I'd be willing to do it for you!

I've given up trying after 5 disks...i'm assuming it's my dvd burner but i don't want to go buy a new one...will someone burn and send me a copy?? would greatly appreciate and reimburse for your trouble!

to all of you who have successfully done this...what dvd burner do you have?

i've tried 3 times w/ no success...what type of dvd burner are yall using...i'm beginnning to think my aopen drive is a p.o.s.

extracted file w/ winrar...burned @ slowest speed (3324 kb/s) w/ magic iso (checked finalize cd) onto verbatim dvd+r dl 8x dvd's....inserted into d2 and says please insert appropriate disc....trying now w/o checking "finalize cd".....i'm trying to burn w/ an aopen duw1608 drive that has latest duw1616 firmware loaded on to it...has anyone gotten this to work w/ a d2 or burnt this with an aopen drive??

how far did you get?

when you click this link

ftp://vwinvoices.com/vwinvoices.com/uploads/

does it ask for a username and password?

if not you need to go to tools and click clear private data and make sure cookies are checked and then click "clear private data now"

then retry the link and insert credentials guest_uploads guest1234

then navigate to east folder and click east disk.zip

this happened to me as well...what i did was downloaded the newest version of winzip and it's extracting as we speak

EDIT:i was using winrar

upon upgrading winrar from version 3.3 to version 3.8 it also works now...

my file is 3.7gb packed and 8.166gb unpacked according to both winrar and winzip...is this correct??

ftp://vwinvoices.com/vwinvoices.com/uploads/

log in to here first with credentials then open east folder

so i started dl'ing the zip this morning @ 10 and it just finished downloading @ 310...and what happens when i open in win rar "unexpected end of archive" and "either multipart or corrupt zip archive" guess i got a bad dl...will retry and talk to you in another 5 hours

.part means you have a partial download so you are not getting the full file and yes you will need a dl dvd

almost done dl'ing...getting pumped to burn and try this baby out!

Will it be completely ruined or can you roll back to the old discs?

decided to go on my campus to get better download speeds...now dl'ing at 850 kb/s now i just have to kill an hour on campus...

i'm getting 200 kb/s constant right now...that's the max i can get usually on my connection

downloading zip right now with great speeds...thanks so much!

no worries thanks for the effort!
