Can the HDMI input only be used for iphone and android phones? From reading the manual, it doesn't look like you can use it as regular HDMI input for say a video camera or blue ray player. is this correct?

I updated my f700 to 4 hybrid a couple months ago using eknkrypt3d's 4.01 zip and some newer maps. Everything seemed to be great until I went on a trip for thanksgiving and I noticed two things I hadn't tried since the update. 1. If I hit the "video" tab with the Ipod attached, I get a reboot every time. would really like to be able to play ipod video again. 2. Voice control of the ipod no longer works. I have updated the vr catalog and still doesn't work like before the update. anyone else getting this? any help would be appreciated.

Been a long time. My 700 is still running great with x3. Started poking around here again and thinking of putting the above mentioned 4.01 on. For whatever reason, I have not been able to successfully dl the map file that SuperH mentions. My question: Since encrypt3d's package includes the maps but not the pois that I need (living in the midwest), can I just use the pois I currently have with the new 4.01 maps? I don't use them a lot so my old ones would be fine if they will work but it would suck to have none. Thanks

i do have a couple downloaded. i looked through some of the code but it has been quite a while since i messed with this. I had one at one time that had mod descriptions commented out in the code (which was very helpful) but I cant remember whose data.zip it was. anyway i just want to do the linear compass and not all of the rest. (just add it to my nav mute button which works great). i'll keep looking.

if you ground the parking brake wire and dont plan on moving u r good. i believe the problem arises when the unit realizes that the wire is grounded (parking brake on) and the unit is moving (faster than 10 mph i think). So u need to ground the right pin to bypass this problem. the mute wire is used because most ppl dont use it for anything else. it really has nothing to do with mute. or instead of grounding the bypass pin, you can mod the unit to not have a problem until you are doing 256 with the parking brake on. but that is the software bypass anyone please correct me if i am wrong on th

Can someone point me in the right direction? (funny, I know) I wanted to change the map compass to the linear compass on f700 with 3.0. I have searched and read but there are so many different things to so with the compass. I am not looking to make it a button or anything. just switch the dial compass to the cool linear one. I have had success adding a working mute button to the map screen so i can do the basics, i just need some guidance as to only changing the compass. thank you.

thanks to all of the great contributions to this forum, i have been running 3.0 (x series image) on my f700 with the nav voice mute button. I accomplished this without problems and all has been running smoothly. Now that the official update is out and being used, i am considering buying and installing it. So i was wondering if anyone had done this and exactly how you went about it and how it worked out. would there be any problem going from the x series image to the official f series 3.0 if i just put in the SD and fired it up or will it think it is already updated and stop. thanks again.

I have an Alias 2 (sch-U750). the phone paired ok. but now whenever bluetooth connection is established the phone just keeps reseting. this really sucks because the old alias (sch-u740) works fine and transfers phone book fine. i have searched and cant find a fix. the phone works fine with a bluetooth headset. What is making it keep reseting with my F700?

just to clarify, all i need to do is copy this branding file into the iGo folder and this will work on 3.0? nothing else? thanks guys

audio source must be set to "off" then this option should switch when you push it. something like "Mute" then "Att" (volume lowered but not quite muted) then normal (talks with the music) normal may only be on 3.0 can't remember but the option is greyed out unless audio source is set at "off"

Thanks for the help, i guess i will have to adapt. the info screen will give you a list of all poi's in the area correct? i have mine set to only show gas stations and food on the map and it would be nice to tap the icon and find out what the place is. I am kind of amazed that the avic is not capable of this. Even my 8 year old pocket PC with the compact flash GPS plugged into the top could do this (destinator software) but the avic sure looks a lot better

How do I get information on the POIs that are on the map? I can not find this in the manual. Like when you are driving down the road you see a knife and fork on the screen. Even with my old Omnitech GPS, you touch the poi icon and it will tell you the info such as McDonald's and the address, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

From the manual: Smart Zoom Enables the navigation system to zoom in automatically when you approach a guidance point and zoom out after you pass through it. You can setup the behavior while “Smart Zoom†is activated. When no route is set, the navigation system will simply zoom in or out depending on your speed. My F700 refuses to do this. I have tried 2d and 3d, i have tried all kinds of limits in the smart zoom settings. No matter what my speed the zoom level just stays the same (unless i have a route set). Is this working as described in the manual for anyone? My old gp

i changed the values in the pioneer.ini in the project_config folder. is this any different from the sys.txt change? I used: 3dcarsizemin=3000 3dcarsizemax=5000 and the arrow is just how i want it (except for color). changing the sys.txt would be the easier of the two but i wonder what priority the unit reads this in.

not too great car_blaupunkt is a red triangle with a green ring around it becker_car_gps is a more 3d looking gray arrow with a 3d ring around it thanks again BorisM
