everywhere, if they sell car parts, they damn should have some kinds of relays. probably because standard relay's (SPDT) have five "prongs" (or terminals) 85, 86, 87a, 87, and 30 (you just dont connect anything to 87a)

^ a couple of weeks ago, I got an email from corporate, apparently all of our stores had to ship all of our app radio's back to pioneer because of a recall in the software. the glitch had something to do with system stability when using back up camera's must have been a pretty big issue instead of manually updating them in the field like we had to with the 2.0 update on the F-series to warrant shipping thousands of these bastards around. as for people who have already bought them, they are supposed to grab the update from pioneers website, are you sure you have the lat

according to the dude that works for PAC, they all do it and you must be doing it wrong.

it should work as the units are bypassed the same way, BUT there is no way to adjust the time of each action, so its hard to say, also it may work now but then pioneer might change something in the firmware that might need a slightly different timing and then it might not work. or it might just not work at all. could always try it and see.

for the record, car are not built like they used to be, messing up on a single wire could cause thousands of dollars in computer modules or serious injury from exploding parts in the car. as far as lining my pockets,I'm sorry that I have a set of skills that i used to provide my life style. a lot of training, experience and investment in tools went in to this, its no accident. i also know my limits and would prefer to pay a proper specialist when the need arises.

AMDhunter: if your brake light in your cluster is flashing, you are not following directions! the whole point of a bypass, is so that you dont have to have the pioneers brake wire connected to the cars parking brake/ handbrake, therefore so you dont have to set the parking brake to watch videos if your cluster light is flashing, you must some how still have something connected to the cars handbrake wire, unhook everything and revisit all of the instructions and diagrams. and yes, you can just use a simple switch if you are not capable of wiring and programming a

yup i believe that was covered awhile ago that US units dont work that way, its kinds why we created this thread

so then you do admit that there are some units out there that dont support the "bonus features" ok because for a minute there i though you where saying that they all did support it. forgive me for only telling people exactly what your company propagated to me! two thoughts on this, first, not every person that works for any company has a clue what the hell is going on there! for example, i have talked to some really intelligent people from your own company, I have also talked to some real idiots whose only tech support ability is to read word for word the manual that

not according to paper work that PAC includes with their modules.

thats what he said

^ i agree, its not figuring out how to program it that was hard, it was just making it through the entire sequence with out making a mistake that was the challenge. but then again, if they wanted to make it easy, they would just let you ground the wire!

also has anybody called PAC's tech support, they will walk you through programming it over the phone.

why dont you guys find a local shop to help you out! that way then you can get it done much sooner, but more importantly you can try to find a good tech to have with any future issues you may have.

well there is an entire sub forum on hacks and mods, it probably wouldn't be a bad ideal to start there with a lot of reading and learning to figure out what need to be done.

apparently your are missing some files, try an official update, getting somebody's system files, or go with somebody's mod files

yes, pioneer first i would try to download the most current update from their website and try to load it.

luckly for me, I have owned enough of their products to like or dislike any of them i would like, however I'm the first to tell people to get an ipod when they complain about the limitations of flash memory I never made a comment about apple being against the world, so i can now see how you may be having trouble keeping up with logic... well at least your not completely irrational. and it does work exactly as it was designed, again apple changed the rules after it was made, its one thing for a device to look at, show, and play the media that is stored on it, (which it does) now you ex

it was said the European models did not have to be bypassed so this shouldn't be needed for french units unless your Canadian

W A I T A M I N U T E, YOU HAD AN IPHONE THE ENTIRE TIME?

format this, format that, isnt that what we talked about the other day, specifically about how apple was known for all of their software issues, and their products were known for all of their glitches and bugs... oh wait, sorry, i forgot we where talking about that APPLE, and software is what they do. there is a reason that all of their stuff cost three times as much as everything else, because they just work. i have seen extremely few ipod that have failed that looked like they where actually taken care of like a sensitive piece of electronic equipment, instead they all look like an IED bl

agreed, restoring an ipod more than once is usually a waste of time. its as simple as its going to be one of five problem 1.software problem on the ipod 2.hardware problem on the ipod 3.the connection cable 4.software problem on the AVIC or 5. a hardware problem on the AVIC now identify, isolate and eliminate you have now proved multiple times that it is not a software problem on the ipod X1 you have tried a different cable so you know that's not it X3 you where told days ago to swap out the ipod to rule out (or more likely confirm) that the problem is with ipod itse

great, that what was i was looking!

sounds like you need better friends! lol

if a flash memory drive works every time with out fail, then you problem is not an internal wiring issue, its either a problem with the ipod, the software on the avic, or a compatibility problem between the two softwares.
