  1. matt1212, that fix didn't work for me. I have no back up camera, and the reverse wire isn't hooked up. I pulled the unit out, removed the yellow wire [by-pass] and hooked it up properly, and it never fixed anything. Pushing the buttons made no sound, and did not keep the screen on. What I did, worked for me. Mines fixed, so I'm glad.
  2. Just unclip it and see if it cut through. I know once I snap mine closed, I always use a pair of needle-nose pliers to press it close just to make sure. That will fix that. Hope you enjoy your AVIC.
  3. Alright, so I finally got my Avic-F90BT to boot back up and back to normal. I had the problem that a lot of other people have been having lately, and that problem is the one where the unit boots to the splash screen, goes black, and the illumi-buttons go off. Then it re-boots and does that over and over again. Here is a simple, anti-fancy guide as to how I fixed my problem. **[WARNING]. Step-by-step: 1] Copy the firmware 2.0 update to your SD card, as if you had an old firmware version and you were updating it to the 2.0 version. All this does is stabilizes the unit and keeps the s
  4. IMO, the problem being the hardwire bypass is BS. Why would it take 6 months for this unit to catch up and realize it is bypassed? Computers are capable of computing things very fast, and it would find a problem almost instantly if that was the problem. Let alone, why else would it be called a by-pass? Anyway, update on mine. I got mine fixed, doctored up, and back to normal. Plus a few mods, and still running stable. Still no idea why mine pooped out on me, but basically to get it fixed what you need to do is first try to update to firmware 2.0, even if you already have that. This
  5. JohnnyThunder, you said exactly where I am at. i don't want to send it to Pioneer, and I am downloading Minifreezer's files as well.
  6. I have gotten mine to boot up, but it shows the system startup in progress...please wait, screen and that doesnt go away. I can listen to the radio or cd with no problem, but will eventually reboot. I deleted those gpspara files, to no avail that did not work for me. I have a copy of myfashdisk I downloaded off of someone, but not sure if it was for the f90bt, so I will downloads gsxr and copy those over and see how that goes.
  7. Actually, that is what I do. Say I get in the car in the morning, ipod isn't working for whatever reason...wait til I'm going 15-30MPH, put car in neutral, turn key off, wait a sec, then restart my car, put in drive and go. I wouldn't personally do this going faster than 30MPH, and would recommenced doing it at a stop sign/light. I also keep that little stylus in my car, and will press the reset button and let off [not hold it for 5 seconds] and that never seemed to do anything other than restart the Avic. All my contacts, settings, etc, etc stayed the same.
  8. Oh I know, I am not nieve. I actually called back and talked to someone else and asked specifically what an "AMMP session" is, and he said it was something in the software, and I asked what if it cannot create AMMP session on start up, and he said that a file some where is corrupt...and he pulled the whole, send it in. He was a jerk...plain and simple. Anyway...I have tried something else...I had 2 sd cards, each 2g. On one was test mode plus the entire myflashdisk back up, on the other was the 2.0 firmware update. booted into testmode, deleted everything in myflashdisk, copied my files/f
  9. So I called Pioneer Tech Support...described my problem and the first thing the guy says is, "Do you have the parking break bypassed? That sound's exactly like what happens." I said, "I do, but the unit has worked flawlessly for several months, never even a hiccup." and he says, "Well it can work right for a while, but the AMMP Session...[blah blah, something to do with hardwire bypass]" So I guess my next step is to pull that yellow wire out and see if it boots up. If so, replace the wire and see if it will work for another couple of months. Or, do the software mod. Will post an upda
  10. This is absolutely impossible... Just a thought. I mean, several people having the exact same symptoms around the same time? Don't you think that's kinda odd?
  11. Well, I loaded up the 2.0 update files to an SD card, but getting that AMMP session error, it will not boot up and try to update the firmware. I'm not really sure what else to try... Anyone know if I can actually delete whats on myflashdisk [once booted into test mode] and then copy whats on my sd card to myflashdisk all in the same session? I was afraid to try that, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I was just being cautious.
  12. Any ideas on what an AMMP session is or why it failed to create one?
  13. Yeah...it's so odd to me that so many people are having the EXACT same problem happen all of a sudden, this week. Something has changed with our units...and my bet is they are trying to do an OTA [over-the-air] update through the GPS antenna, if that's possible. I'm gonna call tech support tomorrow and see what they have to say, and I will get them to tell me how to fix it because I am not pulling this unit out and boxing it up and sending it to them. I refuse.
  14. My unit has done this exact same thing! I first noticed a few days ago that when I turn on my park lights, it dims the screen. NEVER done that before...but randomly did then, and I changed the settings so it was 10 on no lights, and park/head lights on. Next morning, started car and splash screen came up and then it goes black...button illumination goes off as well. Been two days since it has worked right, and I am still trying to get it fixed. What I had done so far is re-upload the 2.0 Firmware [http] and then it was freezing on splash screen, but the screen came on. I then booted into
