with the key on engine off , ipod plugged in , volumne at 0 - 2 , i have almost no noise. i cant hear it , my wife says she can hear a slight noise. same thing with the homemade cd and a store bought cd. i do play my music loud , probably f_cked up my hearing somewhat (lol). just wondering why would you use the high level wires instead of the rca's? seems like more of a pain running the wires than rca cables . i'm no installer or expert in car audio , just someone who likes music and bought a P.O.S. head unit like the rest of you. hope you get it figured out. have a good one. fonjo

i hardly ever listen to cd's. i use my ipod. i didnt think about that. maybe its the cd? i'll try and put a cd in this afternoon and see if there is a noise.i'll post what i find. good or bad!! lol james

ok then have you ever used the rca's from the deck before? i have ZERO noise coming from my system after i grounded the rca's. i have not used the high level output wires so i dont know if this is the reason for your problem. have you tried using the rca's to the amp yet? also have you ALWAYS had this noise?

yeah i had this noise to after i moved my amps around. the pioneers have pico fuses inside the deck that will blow if there is ANY spike sent threw them. this happens when you unplug the rca's at the amp and reinstall them . the rca pin could breifly touch the shield on the amp and you wont even know it. after a lot of searching and buying some EXPENSIVE rca's (witch didnt work) i found the ground wire solution. it worked for me.drove me insane. lol james

try grounding the rca's that go to the amp. solder a wire on the shield of the rca plug and ground that to the deck. should make that hiss go away.

if you have an iphone or touch you can download any movie or video and watch it on the F700.

go into your settings on the iphone and find the country select menu. change your setting to austraila, and resync your phone with the headunit. The Australia listing's for phone #'s doesn't have ( ) and - so by changing the country the head unit will reconize the phone numbers.

i'll take a good shot of the car this weekend and post it to this thread. thanks, by the way do you know if you can change the background on any of the otherscreens?

thanks

notice how when we are talking no one is insulting each other. you gave me your advice on the system and i will use it. i never petended to know all or much about this unit, i just had some questions

also i wasnt trying to complete the bypass so you can watch videos while driving. when i hooked it up like the book says i lost my nav. and system settings and phone pairing. they were grayed out. after i moved the wire i can now access these icons. and get into the settings

again i am not trying to be an ass. i thanked you for your answers on the questions i had and i treated you with respect. i am refering to the others that posted.

this is what i am talking about. i looked at the thread, and everyone jumped on this guy like he was an idiot. he asked a question. he didnt ask to be put down or called names. he wanted to know if it is going to work or not. thats what a forum is about, you need answers about something, you look on a web site that has information about it and people that have the answers reply. this isnt high school. no one needs to prove anything.

are all of you guys teachers? proper way to spell blah blah blah. proper way to talk blah blah blah. bite me

your funny
