First off, why would you tell Pioneer that you did the bypass? That has nothing to do with anything. Make sure your ground is COMPLETELY grounded. Make sure the positive connection is hooked up. If it doesn't at least power up after both of those, it is something wrong with the device itself, in which case, you contact Pioneer, say your device stopped working, and you send in the DEVICE, not the harness, so how would they even know you did the bypass?? i didn't TELL them i did the bypass. if you call pioneer with this sort of problem, they are blaming it on a bypass, PERIOD. i've e

i do have a cable to hook one up that is always plugged in. but my iphone isn't plugged in during any of this.

bump...

The unit will not go into test mode. Just goes into a rapid loop of restarting over and over. Are there any tricks or tips to get it into test mode? The card is a 2 gig that I made sure was properly formatted.

pioneer will, and has already, blamed mine and all the other boot problems on the parking brake bypass. i'm not buying that because i know that's bullshit and there has to be something happening and i'm the type of person to try and figure it out. i can accept a hardware malfunction but i would like to eliminate all options before having the massive hole in my dash for probably 2 weeks and paying the bastards to fix it. can ANYONE think of ANYTHING else to try? i will try anything at all before i send this off. i'm actually about to pull the unit and check the fuses in the back be

I've had the unit installed for 6 months. 2 days after i had it installed i had the parking brake mod done and a week later i did the 2.0 update. I had no knowledge of any mods that could be done to it other than those and had not touched it other than that. Both mods were done by a professional and worked PERFECT for 6 months. Nothing was done prior to this happening, just normal use.

My f900bt won't boot. I have read just about every piece of info here on this issue and don't know what the next step would be at this point so i need a little help/guidance. I have tried the following.... soft restart hard restart reload 2.0 software update loaded testmode.zip and could not reach test mode tried a hard reset via reset+eject and still couldn't reach test mode. attempted to reload 2.0 and THEN tried to enter test mode. when no SD card is present in the HU the system shuts off after 15-20 seconds, it never makes it past "Pioneer" and shuts down. with an

ok but say you don't have a memory card from pioneer. in my case i bought the unit refurbished off of ebay. how do i reinstall the 2.0 software? i'm desperate to get my unit fixed. i do alot of driving and it worked fine when i got out of the truck the night before, work up this morning and it would show the "pioneer" screen for about 20 seconds and then just shut off. i tried playing with all kinds of button combinations with the same results. PLEASE HELP
