I'm just wondering if the F900BT can play a sound during start up somewhere near when the splash screen appears? how do I do that? thanks.

thank you finally solved my rebooting problem 

Go to A/V Settings and turn on AV1 to iPod.

The audio and video signal is transmited through the composite audio and video cables.

Lighting cable only allows the radio to controls the playlist.

Enjoy!

I set AV1 to iPod and AV2 to video, but when lightning cable is connected it turns to ipod control and have no sound. the only way i can get sound is from the av when the lightning cable is not connected.

So my question is, is there a way to have sound via the av cable while having lightning cable connected?

thanks!

I've searched everywhere and couldn't find a straight answer. Some say the new lightning cable transfer sound through digital etc etc.

Is there a work around to get the F900BT to play music from iphone 5?

Actually I can even transfer sound through the AUX cable alone, that shouldn't have anything to do with digital or analog.

Help is greatly appreciated, even getting AUX to work would be great. Thanks and sorry if I've posted a previously answered question but I tried searching.

Things I've tried:

-updated firmware to 2.000000

-plugging in both AUX and apple factory USB cable

-set AV1 to ipod

The FAQ mentioned cables are only available for iphone 4 and older:

Q. My iPod is connected but won’t play music, what's wrong?
A. You need either the CD-IU230V iPod cable by Pioneer or the Apple iPod A/V Composite Cable. Both cables have both USB connections and standard composite Audio/Video connections. The standard iPod USB cable (that comes with every iPod/iPhone) will allow control of the iPod and display of iPod content on the the F-Series, but will not play music or video.

the splash screen that i couldn't get pass is not the usual screen with a splash picture, its a black screen with a big pink "Pioneer" logo in the middle. I need to somehow get pass it in order to get into test mode. any input? and whats a hard reset and how is it performed? can someone post a link to a tutorial? thanks

really need an answer...anyone?

the F900BT is now restarting itself on the Pioneer splash screen after I did the menu+map+eject restart trick, and I can't get into test mode because it never passes that screen, can someone help? thanks

might be your back camera setting being turned on and i assume you don't have a back camera installed. thats what happened to me few months ago hope this helps

recently i'm having trouble connecting my SD card to the PC, its a 8gb card formatte in FAT32, PC is running on vista, i've had no problems reading the card before until last week. sometimes i can see the card reader's drive letters appearing when i plug it in, but most of the time i just get nothing. and when i do vista is not able to 'see' the card in the cooresponding drive. anyone experiencing the same problem? also does the F900bt support other format other than FAT32? NTFS perhaps? thanks in advance

last week my f900bt had the black screen problem, after booting sd music still plays but screen turns black after splash screen and button lights are off. screen light would come back on once i press the map button but its not as bright as the normal screen light that i use to have (button light also come back on). seems like the main screen light is completely not coming on, but a secondary light that goes on only on navi mode is still working (the secondard dimmed light would go off after about half an hour or so)

any idea how i can fix this problem? thanks

im not sure if its amplified or not, and how do i fix it if its amplified?

i have a F900BT installed in a 350Z and after having the avic, the radio reception had deteriorated a lot, does anyone have the same issue and is there an easy fix? im 100% positive that the antenna wire is plugged cuz i was there watching when the guy was installing it

i tried connecting my 2.5" Western Digital Passport Elite 320gb to the f900bt but it never worked, any idea?

I just copied my own image to the common folder, renamed it 746_32K_MN-000_24b.bmp, rezip to image.res, and copied it back to the F900BT, everything works fine but the new image is not showing as BG image for the menu, i guess pioneer must have moved things around a little bit

I don't have that file neither,

my first file is:

746_32K_MN-001_24b.bmp

and the last one:

746_32K_MN-952_24b.bmp

thanks for the reply

but image.res is not a directory? what do i do with this file?

I'm sure this question had been asked more than a few times, but I've had no luck finding an answer after using the search feature in this forum, so here its goes. can anyone provide me with step by step instruction to change the BG picture in the menu screen (not the splash screen). thanks

i have a avic-f900bt installed in a 350z, when im playing dvd movies, the sound would skip for about 1/10 of a sec every half a minute or so and its getting really annoying, anyone have the same problem? any fixes? i just had the software bypass done, and before i make changes to data.zip i had a warning msg pop up saying something like ebrake not grounded properly, but once i made changes to data.zip the warning msg seems to be gone forever. but the dvd sound skipping problem still persists. any help is appreciated

im having problems installing the f900bt to the 350z. basically im a complete noob. i was going for the software bypass, and the first time i install the unit i just connected the ebrake wire with the black wire which i think is the ground wire and another green wire from the harness (see pic) http://208.109.166.78/avicd3/harness.jpg. and i get the warning ebrake not properly grounded after i start driving. so i open up everything and this time i connected the ebrake with the black wire and screw it to a good ground, and the other green wire to another screw guess what same warning msg. can anyone point out to me where the problem might be? also i do not have the plug with the mute wire (yellow and black) connect to the unit cuz i have no idea what to connect at the other end. seems like the unit works fine without it. if i were to do the hardware bypass instead, where does the other end of the mute wire connect to? and lastly, where do i find data.zip within testmode's windows environment? i know its a stupid question but as i said i know nothing about hacking and stuff, any help is appreciated
