I'm not bent out of shape. I didn't mention the wire until my second post because I wasn't aware of any such wire that would cause these symptoms. Terron is the one that pointed out there are 2 wires that can act as turn on leads for the amps. The radio antenna power lead which can be configured to turn on the power antenna only when the AM/FM tuner is in use or to just leave the power antenna up whenever the unit is on. There's a seperate lead for the amplifier power signal that is always on when the unit is on and that is the one that in my opinion (and Pioneers) should be used to tur

Because they hooked up the antenna power lead to the amp lead... How is that not an intall issue? If they hoooked up the front and rear speaker backwards wouldn't that be an install issue even though I could just adjust it with the head unit? Why should you need to alter a setting for your power antenna settings in order to be able to listen to MP3's or have audio on DVD's? It's no big deal, it just wasn't the right lead that was connected. He's got to go back in there to mess with the SWI-PS so why wouldn't I want him to wire it correctly?

Well, since I paid for the install, I'm going to file it under "unacceptable" that the Antenna lead is actually powering up the amps. Just out of principal... Had I done it myself, I wouldn't be concerned about it. It's not the end of the world that I have to alter that setting but I'd rather it be done correctly. They also hooked up the "bypass" for me as a favor, but it really wasn't bypassing anything until I just did the mod to the ini file so obviously they just grounded the parking brake wire and didn't do the complete harward bypass. That's less of an issue to me though.

Quick update... It was indeed the turn on lead like you suggested. I guess in the upgrade to 2.0, it reset those AV settings. I went in and changed the Antenna settings from "Radio" to "Power" (at least I think that's what the menu was labeled) and MP3's now play fine. I tried a DVD again before I made these changes and sure enough, there was no sound so I knew you were on to something. I'll let my installer know so he doesn't make that error again... Still no luck with the steering wheel controls though. Holding them down doesn't change anything. My installer has emailed PAC

Thanks for confirming that the SWI-PS does indeed work with 2.0. I'll try holding down the buttons a little longer. THey were working instantly before but I'll deal with it for now if i just have to hold them down a little longer. Hopefully it's just a software issue that will be resolved down the road. As for hte MP3 setup and amp situation, I guess I technically do have amps. This is a Hummer with the Bose/Onstar system so they used the GMOS-04 to tie into the factory amps. I guess it's possible that the installer didn't tie in the proper power connectors but I did have a DVD playin

I've got an F90BT that was installed last week. It is running the 2.0 software. The SWI-PS worked great for the first day. I watched them do the programming and I could see that the red light comes on the SW-PS when a steering wheel button is pressed and the radio would respond. It was all working fine... The next morning, it didn't work at all. I had the place that installed it take a look and it still appeared to be programmed correctly and the red light on teh SWI-PS was still indicating that it was getting a signal from teh steering wheel control. He switched out the SWI-PS
