If you try to use youtube while plugged in, it doesn't work. If you run a video form your iphone, and then attempt to run youtube, it plays the video. I know someone mentioned something like this earlier. Has anyone given this a shot? Run a video from their ipod and then attempt to run slingplayer?

I wonder if you put the avic into test mode and run some sort of jailbroken app like Veency where you can control and view your iphone from the PC. Maybe then you can view the video from it.

Anyone figure this out?

Anyone try this?

So ignoring the fact that SlingPlayer only runs on wi-fi, assuming i was in Wi-Fi range, will the Sling Player display an image to my Pioneer unit? I can listen to pandora, I can watch videos from the iPod, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to view videos from Mobile Sling Player. I know that there's not video of Pandora when that's up which would be cause for concern. Just curious if anyone has any idea if this would work, and if not, what type of "workarounds" are there to bypass this... Thanks.

Yep, that was it. I had nothing on the iphone and when stuff was on there it worked.

Hah, well I think my biggest problem was that I didn't have anything downloaded onto my iPhone. Weird though that it won't detect it until I have stuff to play on my hard drive.

Little bit of a problem. I have an iPhone 3gs running on 3.0.1. I have the AVIC F90BT with the 2.0 firmware upgrade. If I plug an iPod into my system using the USB/Ipod cable that came with my unit, the Avic Detects the iPod, changes the USB logo in the AV selector to "iPod" and then allows me to select it and change songs from the touch screen on my iPod. However, when I plug my iPhone 3Gs into this port, I get the message: I've used both the stock Pioneer cable along with the stock Apple cable that came along with my ipod. I've herad that's a regular message and to just igno

Oh I see. In was confused on the setup. The USB box is only powered through the car. It doesn't actually connect to the AVIC unit. For arguments sake, what would happen if I got a USB splittler like this: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Premium- ... 878&sr=1-2 Hooked it directly up to the AVIC unit, and then plugged in my IPOD and a memory stick with songs. Which one would it read?

It's tough to come online to ask for advice on something like this. Some people have had amazing experience with the unit, others not so much. I just purchased an AVIC-F90bt online last week, and the other day and had it professionally installed. When I got home to play with it, the touchscreen was barely working. I've already removed it and I'm sending it back to get a new one. So far, my experience has been sub par, but I'm still hopeful. If you're into modding, this system is great. After the very simple hardware mod of bypassing the e-brake by switching the jumper settings on

Could work. I'd imagine you'd probably have to have some sort of driver to recognize the mouse however. Not so sure it's that easy....

So if you use the USB for one of those charger units that has some USB and 12V outlets, and then you have your IPOD hooked up to the charger box, what will the AVIC recognize as the USB? Will you be able to use the AVIC IPOD interface anymore since you're actually using the USB port to power up a charger unit? And then if you plug your hard drive into that unit as well and have two things hooked up, which one will it detect?

It appears I've hit my final roadblock it's time I pack it up and ship it to pioneer. I can't re-install the entire 2.0 update because I can't effectively navigate into test mode. Damn... CGHitman14 Posts: 42 Joined: Sun May 03, 2009 2:32 am

I'm gonna have to look into that a little more. My system already has 2.0, so I guess the unit just ignores the available update on the SD card. I'm gonna search, but maybe I can get an answer here before I find one. How do you get the system to reinstall 2.0 and overwrite what's already there?

Yeah, I figured. Probably trying to just get me to not send it in so they don't have to deal with it. I'm gonna give the 2.0 reinstall a go and see how it goes. I'll post results here. If it doesn't work, off to Pioneer. I'm assuming I have to eat the shipping costs?

I hope it wasn't a refurb. It said new and it sure as hell looked brand new. Every wire in it's on special compartment all sealed up with the proper clips holding the wires together and everything. Looked brand new to me. The guy at Pioneer somehow made it seem like they'd be able to detect it if I had tried to wire bypass. He kept saying that the unit could "figure out" if you tried to bypass the e-brake and it would start to malfunction on purpose. His stats were "95% of the time, this problem is caused by a bypass. 5% of the time it's a faulty unit". What a load of crap. A

See, that's the only thing. My screen isn't dead....but it seems like it's dying, haha. After resting for a while it gives me good juice for about a minute or two and then slowly becomes unresponsive.

That seems like the most reasonable advice. Just wasn't sure if anyone experienced anything similar and decided to tinker with the unit and mighta come up with a fix with just a reinstall of the firmware or something. I was at work and had my car off for about 4-5 hours. I decided to see how it was running when I turned it on after the long rest. It was great. The first few clicks were very effective. And as time went by, clicks became less and less effective, the unit reacted slower and slower until it pretty much stopped about 2-3 minutes in. I decided to give Test Mode a go. No go

It was supposedly new. Bought it off amazon from one of their sellers for about $550. But that could be. Aren't there files online to get to do a reinstall in testmode? Can I just get the 2.0 from pioneer and do that, or should I take a file someone has uploaded from here? Made a new thread btw: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=24388

Mod can delete this thread. I consolidated into one.

I'm going to consolidate all of my posts onto this thread. First, here is the youtube video of me attempting to use my unit. I was extremely frusturated while making this, so if it's a lot of rambling and doesn't make sense, attribute it to that: I bought the unit of amazon.com about a week and a half ago, 2.0 firmware upgrade. It appeared to be unused and unopened. Everything in original packaging. I bought all of the installation gear off of an assortment of sites, hondaautomive.com, scosche, etc. When I finally got the unit I did the wire harness bypass, adjusting the ye

So here's the deal. It's only gotten worse. Everything is unbearably slow at this point. The unit boots up in about 2 minutes. I then really can't click on anything. When i push the map button, in about 5-10 seconds I get the warning screen and then I have to hit okay 4-5 times. it'll finally accept it and then take about another 20 seconds to show the map screen. At that point if I push down the big button for voice commands, that takes about 10-15 seconds to come up. The robotic voice is super choppy and crappy sounding. So at this point, is there any time of "reformat" or "reins

Video of unit not working: (probably takes a few minutes to become available) Contacted Pioneer. They immediately asked if I did an ebrake bypass which I denied of course. They said the installer probably tried to do one (95% of the time they claim that's the problem, the other 5% is faulty unit). I did do the moving of the mute wire from row 1 slot 1 to row 2 slot 4. They said I can send it in but if they detect I did an ebrake bypass, it'll be $200 for a repair. If not, free of charge. So I just need to make sure I send them everything besides the harness, corr
