Thanks Tail24 awesome fix. My F900BT is back to normal.

Just in case anybody was curious about this I used a spare ocz vertex series 1 ssd in an enclosure and it works without the need for the y cable. Speed I have to say is the same with my 5400 rpm hdd though, but if you want to put the ssd in your glove box or something without the need for a y cable it works very good.

ipod with an anal-loge interface no thanks. I rather stick to my hd then send sound quality down the drain.

Time for my two cents. I have been running a hd in my car with f900 for over a year I think and when I had just gotten my hu I was thinking of buying an ipod. This was mainly because the Ipod user interface seemed so much user friendly. that was untill I found the f#$#$ ipod still needs a damn cable which transfers the music in analogue. Boy was I mad. So what I am trying to say is that if you make your hd like an ipod it might get into the same problem. The unit thinks its an actual ipod and would not actually play the music unless the analogue cable was conected. I mean com on how f*#@$# che

Hi I read through the post and did not see any one having a solution for the blue screen going dark all of a sudden. I dont know what to do about that. If I am quick enough I can get to the part where I can select what storage device to use for the update but then the screen just turns dark again. Has anyone found a solution for that. Also I am running 3.0. thanks

Hi I was just wondering if I delete these four sound files then I would lose the key beeps for entering characters on the keyboard too? thanks

lol guess the Canadians always get the short end of the stick. Guess I will just go with pioneer.

Yah so as the title says is their any where in toronto or Canada where I can get the upgrade cheaper or is pioneer.ca my only choice. I look around at some U.S sellers but it pretty much came back to 97 bux. thanks

lol that is like wow. So it really works eh. I made post about this but it was totally software where I thought that it was win ce's fault that the cold boot dosnt work. Still though this seems just as good. I will give this a try. I have never heard of these relays before. I am gonna look into them. Thanks for the post.

I was just looking around microsofts technet and found a few articles about windows ce 5.0 which stated problems with usb devices when restarting. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937830 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923388 There were some other ones about slow downs with mass storage device, but these articles here I think are very appropriate to this problem. There are refrences to updates which I did not find, but what is troubling me about these updates is this sentence here "After you apply this software update, you must perform a clean build of the whole platform." and I am

Hi I was just looking around in the net for some sort of a registry solution to this problem. Since it seems to be to a timing issue I was wondering if there is something that can be done in the registry of win ce. Maybe a time delay for the recognition of usb devices like 3 to 5 sec after the device has booted. Would be nice to know if that is possible from people with programming experience. thanks

true lol. But the cold start problem has nothing to do with lack of power. I am happy for people that have theirs cold boot, but unfortunatly many of us who have that problem and respond to this forum have everything properly setup with the usb Y-cable and a usb cigerrit lighter power source. I think getting the avic os to format the hd was a nice touch but I doubt it might help in the problems that we currently have such as cold boot or larger then 40 gig and wont be recognized. Just wondering can you play anything on the ce like music and stuff or is it really bear bone.

I know boris had it start from a cold start and maybe someone else. I have seagate freeagent go 250 and it sometimes got recognized from a cold start until I found out that my usb adapter was faulty and got a new one. Now it dosnt start unless I unplug and plug it back in.

Hi I have an altima with the bose amp. So their is a way to get rid of the hiss without removing or replacing it?

I have a 2005 alitma se-r and it too has the bose system with the amp. I really hate that hissing noise but I am gussing the best solution is to get another amp to replace u r bose one. This is of course what my installer told me and I am not 100 percent on it but it my work for u even with the new noise problem that you have.
