Would it make sense to "upgrade" to the x940 from the x910?

Is the x940 any cooler? Better maps? Faster boot? Modable? Maps easy to install?

Not if you used the installer.

 

We can do one of two things:

 

1. Go back and install again and see if setting back to the original settings fixes it. Would reset it if there was a setting you tweaked accidentally.

 

2. Any way you can take a picture(s) of what you are talking about so I can see what its doing?

Here you go....

Not what this view is caled, but when I use this view, I dont have street names. The other views have street names.... and when I say views, I mean when I press the compass in the top right, it changes the view.

See atrtached

Hmmm... did you install manually or do an install with my installer? If you did not change a setting the only time I have seen this is when the save files were not deleted.

I used the installer... was I supposed to delete something?

I just updated to this mod... but now Im missing street names on most if not all the streets/freeways. I know there was a way to enable/disable this...

Map upgrades will always cost you.

No they wont, they will always cost "someone" though. My buddy bought this, and I used it and it worked fine on mine.

How do you go about "upgrading" this from 2.3 to this version?

Got an email saying that Pioneer is releasing the 2010 maps for the X series. Yeah, I dont wanna spend $120 on this, any hope someone has ripped this?

Sure, because stealing is good...

I would just "borrow" it

I'm not talking about toll bridges, I'm talking about driving on the freeway, getting off the freeway and driving a mile or 2 using a backroad, and the AVIC keeps telling me to turn around and get back on the freeway.

If I get off the freeway I want my avic to be "smart enough" to re-route me based on the street/location that I'm on. My $100 Garmin did just that. Worked like a charn.

Couple questions and I'm not sure its the mod or the maps?

When I put in a destination, it seems the map doesnt calculate the route based on "common sense" i've tried changing it from the quicket to shortest route but that doesnt seem to help. If I go a different way that I know is faster off of the route, it recommends me turning around and getting back on the route its suggest apposed to continuing down the route I'm going and re-mapping it. I've also tried the "detour" option where you press the box on the left with the next turn/mileage but that just seems to do more bad than good. .... does anyone else have this issue?

Wasnt the wire nuts.

Apparently you cant ground the ground to plastic....

It was dark when I was doing this, one side was metal, the other was plastic. I grounded it somewhere else and voila. It works while the car is in motion too! Whats the difference between the polarity's? I hope I dont have to take this deck out again... its such a pain having to get the cables back in.

Thanks again for all your help.

Sounds like either you have the battery polarity reversed in the camera settings on the unit or you have a bad power or ground or a bad video signal from the video wire on the camera. Troubleshoot your install.

I changed the polarity settings back and forth and that didnt help, not even sure what it does.

So since the unit was already installed I had to cut into the 12v + and splice the power into it with a wire nut. I did notice that the actual wire that came with the cam is very thin so it might not be making a good connection. Im going to solder them just to see if that makes a better connection. Could the wire nut be the issue?

I was impatient and started doing this anyways.

Got the cable ran, connected the red wire to the 12V + and the black to a ground and the yellow video (from the cam) to the brown rear view plug on the avic. Im not getting any video though... in either situation (when actually putting it in reverse, or going to source and pressing REAR VIEW). It does go to the rear view cam when in reverse, but all black... what am I missing?

Just got my BOYO VTL300c.

Quick question:

There are 3 cables, red, black, and Yellow. The black can go to any ground, and the red goes to the 12v power? Yellow goes to the obvious.

Just wanted to clarify before running the cable throughout my truck.

Thanks!

Are there any differences between the VTL300 and the VTL400 other then the look/type of camera mount? IS the actual camera the same?

If I try to look up a POI from the quick launch button, I get zero results.... But if I click the menu/destination and seatch that way it seems to work... the pic below is the way that DOESNT work.

I was really just looking for the "look" of the 920. I dont need the features or faster load times... but the MAP/ipod/Sat interface looks way better.

Talk to me goose....

Im sure the "swipe" feature wont be available, but maybe faster boot/interface? What do you guys know? I JUST bought my x910, dont tell me it was a waste of money

Is this possible?

The map interface, the menu interface, all looks much better on the 920 then on the 910. Curious if anyone has or is in the process of altering this? Is it an OS thing.....?

This is an old theme. I don't even think it is for 3.0

Probably not. I installed it on my 3.0 and the images weren't crisp. Looked BAD

Ive noticed lately that the "my vehicle" arrow has been off a couple centimeters on the map. For instance on a freeway, it will show up in the middle of both roads. It doesnt seem to affect anything during a route, but just thought it was kind of weird. Nothing has changed as far as my GPS antenna either, signal is still as strong as ever.

i just wired my back up cam from being just coming on when i back up to going forward and have the cam on,

i taped into the same 12 volt wire from my bt box.

BT box?

I kinda feel responsible for all this hahaha...

On a serious note...

The backup cams come with an RCA and a black/red cable. Im assuming you need to splice the red into one of the cables on the wire harness? Probably the 12v red one?

Come at me again like that ass hole and see if I don't ban your stupid ass from this forum!

HAHA....

On another note... thanks for the advice VBLUE42. Sounds like it will be more of a hassel to do since I already installed the unit. I'll have to see if the rear view cam is that important to pull the unit out again.
