interplay

This is my main complaint about the unit as well. POIs are what make the unit usefull. Someone calls me says I'll meet you at this restaurant.. I can't find it or any other business like say walmart costco or anything. I had an f series and had to get waranty at future shop. They replaced it with this piece of crap. I am vary upset with it. I want my F710 back! Why couldn't they have put similar firmware to the x series. Addresses are even incorrect on this thing.. my f series was much more acurate. Why? don't they use the same map provider?

Actually, I have the oposite problem.. always starts on the same song and songs are listed alphabetically and I set it for random and going to the next song is not random. I want random playing... what is the diference in our units?

I have not done this, but if you are serious about tracking... Buy the smallest cell phone you possibly can, open the gps case, glue it in complete with a charging cable, tie the charging cable into the gps power in so you would not see any wires on the outside. Do not enable any blue tooth as it would tip them off to see your phone answer, allso turn the ring and other sounds right down before putting it in. Cell phones can be tracked, even some service providers offer a tracking service. If the unit is stolen, you would have a couple days battery power on the phone and when it gets i

I want to put a 64 gig flash drive on mine.... have they solved the flash drive issues? If not, I will not spend money on this upgrade.

I got the update from the pioneer webite...seems that there is a free version for canadians only... no idea what could be different from the us ver. Update was simple from the web directions. However the version number does not seem to be updated I notice the same improvements as others mentoned The bluetooth works though when I pressed hangup on the screen It appeared to work, but the phone didn't actually hang up will have to keep an eye on this as it could be costly. Slow load time on sd card and problems with flash drive have not been fixed. It does not appear that any new

Mine is an f700 so no vss wire. The part that threw me was that there was no warning when I had the grounds wired separately... one to the harness and one to the chassis. I even took it for a drive like that because the the double din kit didn't fit properly and I went back to the shop to get parts. When I came back and soldered them both to the harness, then I got the error. The VSS is supposed to only be used when there is no gps signal.

Nope not at 10 mph. Not when I start my vehicle either, Before I leave my driveway. Last time I saw It, I had plotted a route and just put it in drive. My vehicle had only moved a few inches.

Thanx... will have a look at it again.. possibly redo my ground. Other than the error which is annoying, everything works fine.

The only change in my wiring was the grounding. If there is no method for detection... there would be no need for an error screen at all. All my connections are clean, well connected, soldered and shrink tubed. I used the harness ground. Used a factory harness connector and all wiring is done according to wiring diagrams with color coding and labeling provided. Did you design this unit or something? If so, I have a couple issues with it.

This is what I thought too and why I connected mine together even after I read about the problem. If it is the case, why the error on the unit about grounding?

Wire it however you want... I wired mine separately when testing and had no errors, but for final install, I wired them together because it was neater for final install, then I got the faulty wiring error. I then talked to an electronics technologist and asked him. He said that it would be very easy to have a device detect if they were wired together. I have not yet gone back and redone the wiring. Will let you know if the warning goes away. I may be wrong, but others have mentioned the same experience and how much work is it really to wire them separately? Up to you.

It looks to me like it might be possible to crate my own menu. For now just for convenience sake.. I have used Maverics Data.zip and want to build on it. I have put 2 mods in already. 1) the software bypass 2) removal of european maps references also called the speedup mod. While I like the shortcuts in the mods, I would prefer some of them and more in a single button quick access menu. I would like all the buttons on the right except the clock in it. I hope I can do this Also, while looking through Maverics data.zip i noticed what appear to be references to files that

ground the wires separately especially the pb wire, attach it to the frame or something. It detects if you have them wired togeather. I have to do mine as well.

I did it and I'm not sure how well it worked. The thing is, I can't really tell all that much difference between 2.0 and 1.017. The obvious stuff went back like the boxes on the screen in map mode, however the boot seemed more like a 2.0 boot from what i can remember. It made no difference when it came to my SD card the scroll bar didn't work when I'm sure it did before. I replaced all the files including all windows CE, only ones I couldn't do were the ones I couldn't copy during the backup. The ones that give you the error... cannot copy files in rom. After copying them all ba

I have been using a 2gb patriot micro sd card with an adapter to boot to windows ce and transfer files. I have never had a problem. It works great. Not sure why yours doesn't work Mine worked fine for backing up, installing update, and doing fixes. I have not used it for music, but think that should work as well. The card was in my camera before I started using it for this.

I have not hooked up my reverse wire and my unit seems to function fine. If I ever hook it up, will let you know.

If anyone plays music/videos from sd card, fast forward does not work... search on videos is nice tho. When set to random mode, pressing next song goes to the next song in list not next random song Pull down bar on side used to work and does not anymore. How can you search your song library? They could make this wider as well so it would be more useful. A song search feature would be good too. No directory listing for videos. There is no fit to screen feature for videos. Videos from my zen appear very small. Sound levels could be normalized as some sound files are ve

Make sure you have the video mode button set to video. It doesn't seem to auto select and at least before 2.0 update, I used to be able to do video sound with no screen in audio mode... nice if you just want to listen to some music videos.

Sounds like a bad wire or bad shielding on the wire. I would try another set of rca cables to the unit if you can. Please post if you fix the problem

When I was installing and playing with my HU, I ran the battery nearly dead as i had the switch in acc and lights on.... duh. Anyways, I noticed the display on but no sound. At which time I started freaking. Calmed down a bit and tried to start my car... realized no power to start. Battery charger fixed both problems. If your wiring is loose and you are not getting good connection... you may not be getting the power needed. I would solder them and firmly attach the ground. I think this might be your most likely problem. Good luck

I backed up all the files I could before updating to version 2.0 I am not happy with version 2.0 I am debating about copying my files from 1.17 on to my avic and restarting. I have no Idea if this will work, but I may try anyway. Has anyone done this?

I'm going to try my usb mouse. Sounds like there's a chance you can have a keyboard and mouse on the usb.

I am really loving maverics mods. It is an excellent setup. I would like to add in a couple things to my setup. I would like a mute all button and a screen blank button These features on the system are not easy to get at. Sometimes, it would be handy to just mute the sound, like say if a cop stops me, or for phone calls without blue tooth. The screen blanking thing would be handy if I wanted to keep someone from noticing my flashy setup, or say at night to help outside visibility. There is no off switch and having these buttons would be very close. I am thinking about

I hope you moved the pin in the harness for the mute wire to the correct spot as well. Not sure what would cause a cd skipping sound. I might look to make sure that there are no wires touching the fan in the back of the unit.
