  1. IS there a mod that lets me specificy, by typing, a road to travel via. Thanks, e39m5
  2. I do not have the digital TTF in my igo. Just to be clear, I want to add the font file itself rather than the zip, right? Thanks, e39m5
  3. Hehe, I tried to update to the 4shared data.zip file just before leaving for a 5 hour trip. The system ended up rebooting once it got to the menu screen in an infinite loop. I walking my passenger through backing up the data.zip as we drove, fun stuff =D Any ideas what could have gone wrong? I'm running unofficial 3.01 e39m5
  4. So am I right in thinking the direct link I used from the thread for 3.0 isn't completely updated? e39m5
  5. Did you test the radio before they did the swap? My Volkswagen had a factory antenna issue that affected AM stations. I did the install myself and the antenna was definitely easy to screw up. I ended up soldering the blue antenna booster wire to the blue wire with a white stripe from pioneer. If I remember right, apparently you can usually solder blue to blue, but the manual from Pioneer says not to use the solid blue for an antenna booster. You can try plugging in the other antenna?
  6. I've had iPod connection issues with my unit F90BT since day 1. Very few iPods connect like they're supposed to. For some reason, the unit very rarely detects that an iPod is connected. After I plug one in, the USB icon will remain rather than switching to iPod. Occasionally, the unit will see the iPod, and then it will lose it in the middle of a drive without me touching anything. Sometimes, after numerous reconnects I can get it to find the iPod again, other times I'm stuck listening to the radio. I updated to 3.0 (not with the official update), and there was still no improvement.
  7. My iPod hookup rarely detects an ipod, so I called up warranty today and they said to ship it over. Is it going to be a problem if I upgraded to version 3 without paying? Do I have to downgrade before shipping? Thanks, e39m5
  8. Do I bring it to an apple store to update the firmware?
  9. I have a first gen iPod Touch. I believe your version number indicates second gen? Though I'm not sure. e39m5
  10. I wish I knew about this earlier, maybe we can do a group buy to get these things into the US? The fact that AM/FM seeks is most likely Pioneer's fault, since when you push left and right on the knob it also seeks rather than run through presets. American International's faceplate was full of headaches and I can only imagine this one is nicer. My AI plate still doesn't sit perfectly flush and it doesn't seem there is anything I could do about it. What piece are using to clip into the OEM harness? e39m5
  11. Sorry my thread wasn't clear. My main question here was how to get the auxiliary input to work, and I guess the answer is EXT2. I'll try that tomorrow. Regarding the iPod Touch, I've yet to to find a member on this forum with a 1st gen iPod Touch that works, but I've found plenty with an iPod Touch that does not work. I just got off the phone with Pioneer, and they are saying it is a problem with my Touch, and I should try and find another touch to see if I can get it to work. I'll try and hookup my friends touch tomorrow, but I highly doubt it is going to work, given what I've seen
  12. You didn't read my thread correctly. My iPod Touch doesn't work, I've gotten iPod Nanos, iPod Videos, iPod Minis to work fine. The problem is not my connection, its Pioneer and the lack of integration with the iPod Touch. My question now is, how can I use the auxiliary input or the RCA jacks to hook up my iPod Touch without integration, because it's quite clear integration is not going to work. e39m5
  13. The iPod Touch does not work with this unit, which is frustrating enough. But I haven't been able to find ANY way to get music to play from my ipod, which is completely ridiculous. My old HU had an auxilary jack. I would use a wire to attach the auxilary out from my ipod to the auxiliary in on my radio. Id hit the aux button on my radio, and everything was fine. Why can't I do this on my F90BT? I've tried attaching through auxilary on the front of the head unit, and through the Red/White RCA IN jacks, and I can't get either to play my music. Please help. e39m5
  14. Were you playing back from the CD or directly from your computer?
  15. The hardware is nice, but the software completely fails at taking advantage of it. If my unit is displaying a page with a scroll bar, the knob should function as a scroll wheel. Tapping the screen is obnoxious in these situations. I haven't used the nav yet, but I will soon. My ipod touch really needs to work. Bluetooth seems fine. I should be able to voice activate a specific radio station, or atleast scroll through radio stations. Pioneer is crazy for releasing this unit in its condition, especially under the premier name. It clearly was not tested in a driving envi
  16. @Mostroad: Please elaborate, how can I get that set up?
  17. Nothing...Does anyone have this working with their first gen iPod Touch? I spent nearly $1000 on this install and as far as I can tell there's no reason this shouldn't be working. e39m5
  18. This is really pissing me off, I can't get my iPod touch to work. Who should I contact? This is a main feature of the system, and it's not working. e39m5
  19. What do you mean by resetting the ipod? And resetting the unit? e39m5
  20. Same problem, ugh. My iPod Nano works fine, but it doesn't even recognize I plugged in an ipod when I hook up the Touch. It just shows USB greyed out, but it appears to charge my ipod. I've searched and don't see a solution, who should I contact? Pioneer? e39m5
  21. Took me all weekend, first ever radio install. I had the pleasure of running a wire directly over an airbag. I was scared the whole time that the thing was going to explode in my face, but I later found out it won't explode w/o the battery connected. There are two tiny tabs on the OEM trim that a creating a little gap between the top of the sleeve and the OEM. This sleeve caused so many problems along the way it's unbelievable. I'll really get to use it tomorrow, let you know how it goes. I made my ipod cable come out from my center console, but ran the connections into the glov
  22. Bluetooth finds my phone, but it cannot connect. What steps do I need to take to fix it? Thanks, e39m5
  23. When I first went to radio shack they recommended these butt connector things which failed miserably. I ended up soldering (first time I did that, go google) and the system is working fine. I made the ipod cable come out from my center console, and extended the usb and rca connections to my glove box incase I ever want to use it. I'm pretty psyched the thing actually turned on, I still need to find a spot for the GPS antenna.
  24. Hey Guys, I have a clean install location for my iPod, but I want to have the option of hooking up a different usb storage device as well. Has anyone ever done this? I want to find something that will allow me to switch between the two USBs with the push of a physical button. Any ideas? Thanks
  25. Hi Omega, How did you hook up the antenna? I assume you used the Metra power antenna adapter, but what did you hook the blue wire up to? Thanks
