I found the user folder here http://www.4shared.com/file/rvUcjX7j/File_structure_and_USER_folder.html and copied that to my avic, now most things work. Updated to firmware 3.1 and then reapplied my 2013 map update and all is well. Rear speakers didn't work at first, but that turned out to be related to an amp failure.

Still stupid

i'm stupid

I'm a moran

So I'm a colossal anus and tried to update my x930 with x940 firmware, whcih mostly bricked it. Does anyone have a backup of the x930 files?

Sorry, I used to have a Kia Rondo with an F700BT, and had a nice custom Kia splash screen. now I have a Sorento with an X930Bt, and would like to add the custom screen again. Can't search, as this forum won't search for words less than 4 characters, so it won't let me search for Kia. Anyone have the kia screen or a link to one? Thanks! Attached is what the stock GPS splash screen looks like.

More bizarre info. I reset the ipod, and it doesn't fail connection anymore. I reset the head unit a handful of times, same problems (minus the ipod issue) I figured I'd see what it looks like when I pull the memory fuse, since pioneer swears that I've got it wired wrong. If I take the memory fuse out, it seems to work fine. I'll check it again tomorrow morning to see, but hey, if that works it works. If I didn't just put another $120 into this thing I'd put a .300 winmag through it.

A while back I had a problem with my F700Bt, sent it back and forth to pioneer a bunch of times with no resolution. Finally it seemed to work fine on it's own. Recently purchased the latest firmware update/nav update and installed it. The install failed a couple of times, then finished. Here's where the problems start. Symptoms: Every restart of the car, it sets the brightness to 2, the voice to 7, and the button color to random. It also now states ipod connection failed. Didn't do any of this before the update. Any ideas?

I thought of using existing antenna hole, but that would have involved dropping the headliner which is just too much of an event to make it worth it. I drilled through the roof in the least conspicuous, most protected place I could find, and used the smallest drill I could safely pass the wire through after removing the connector. I want to say it was a 3/16" or so, but don't recall exactly. Also, where I drilled was through no less than 4 thicknesses of metal, as that's where the roof and the c-pillar meet and there's some reinforcing besides. My main thing was that I wanted nothing visib

I installed a license plate mount rear camera. I ran the wiring along the bottom of the driver's side doors under the trim, alongside existing wires to the rear driver's side c-pillars. I then went through the same rubber boot that the other wires follow to get into the tailgate. Once there I followed existing wires till I got to the center of the hatch, and went through a grommeted hole I drilled dead center behind the license plate. The camera I bought has a very nice waterproof connector that I left outside the hatch behind the license plate. This lets me replace the camera without ope

Forgot to clarify; the f series connects to the ipod through it's dock connector. Unless you want to use it somewhere else, that leaves a whole lot of stuff on the ipod that doesn't have to work; ipods with dead batteries, broken screens, broken buttons, inop headphone jacks, all should work fine since they're simply a data source for the head unit. Makes it much cheaper to shop on ebay when you're specifically looking for broken ones. Since I got mine I've taken it out of the center console maybe twice to update the music on it.

Oh, sorry about that. I got that spare pin from an old computer CDRom cable assembly, the one where it had a separate audio header. Fits perfect, but kind of hard to find. To disassemble the center console assembly, go to the kgis (www.kiatechinfo.com) site; it has most of the service manual online. I have my cables popping through the center console where the old aux in plug was. I also got tired of connecting and disconnecting my iphone from the cable, so I bought a 5th gen 30GB ipod off ebay for cheap with a busted headphone jack, and leave it in the car. Sounds pretty dang good f

I did the same thing a while back. All you have to do is move the car input wires from the speaker output to the RCA output. viewtopic.php?f=32&t=23203&p=162925p162925

Final (hopefully) update. I had it installed since the last post, with minor issues with the ipod, a constant hiss during quiet sections, hiss when changing from source to source, and not being able to turn it over 25. On a hunch, I hooked my stock (premium) stereo up to +12v and a speaker on the bench, and got nothing. I then hooked the speaker outs to my (garage) stereo input, and got music. Obviously the stock stereo has pre-out only, and all amplification happens at the amp. We redid the harness to go from the pre-outs to the stock speaker wires, and now I can get the volume all the w

The ipod is the most feature-rich, but arguably the worst sounding. CD is of course the best, since it's uncompressed, but has the least features/options. The USB/SD is a great storage medium, but is inherently limited in it's functionality. Here's the deal, at least as I see it: With the Ipod, all the work is done by the ipod; it just streams the music on demand. All the translation from digital to sound is done natively on the ipod. You can voice command it because track title, album title, artist, etc. is always the same place as determined by apple. With a SD or USB, it's playing on
