Come on guys

Its on Enay UK if anyone in the UK is looking for one

Hiya guys

I have to sell me AVIC F910BT

My Car engines gone and its going to cost way to much to repair, so I have had no choice but to get another car and it had to be quick just cant do without

The new car has single Din only, so the F910BT has to go, and its not even a month old!

Its a UK model, and I paid nearly £900 for it, so whats it worth?

Its not marked in anyway, its not even had the fitting cage used as the Celica doesnt use them, so it really is brand new with box and everything it came with

I dont want to give it away, but it needs to go, anyone want to stick there neck out and give me a fairly rough guide as to what I should be looking for?

Cheers

Chris

well I managed to get hold of TomTom 8 and maps of UK and europe, so I may as well have another read through, and give it a go eh

thanks for the reply mate

Later in the post tho, well towards the end, issues with the latest firmware and testmode ect ect

Just wanted to know if there was a user on there that had actually got it working on the F910

Has anyone managed to get TomTom working on an F910BT (or F900 for that matter)

I have the latest firmware on my F910 but even though I installed the IDT mod to make it look and run better, I've been using TomTom now for years, im so used to it, its hard trying to get to grips with this, and the navigation itself compared to TT leaves a lot to be desired (Maybe its just me lol)

If anyone had accomplished this, please let me know I would love to try it

Chris

Ok, lesson one, read the manual lol

The Multi tasking volume button does your fast forwarding and rewinding

Spoke to Pioneer today, the unit only supports DivX and MP4 video files from the SD card or USB, so looks like I need to encode some more

Chris

Hiya guys

Ok I had a JVC AVX810 before this new AVIC F910BT so it MIGHT just be me but I wanted to ask

On my old unit, looking back, it seems maybe it played a lot more formats than this new unit?

I have a DVD full of music vids, a couple of DivX files, some AVI's, mpegs, nothing major all pretty well know formats I assumed

When I insert the same DVD in this unit only a few files play. DivX , but none of the others I had, so is it me, the unit, or what lol

Also, on my old unit, I used to be able to press and HOLD the >> button or the << button, and it would fast forward or back accordingly, not now though, doing this on the F910BT simply results in the unit going forwards or back one file, I have no ff or rewind at all

Im using the excellent IDT mod, but because I didn't try to do this BEFORE I modded the unit, i dont know whether the original software was OK and the MOD has caused the problem

If anyone can help, please do

Chris

Hiya guys,

Trying to get my unit to go into testmode so I can back it up before installing theIDT Mod (Thanks guy looks awesome!)

I formatted a 8GB SD Card (Only one I had free) and placed ther unarchived TESTMODE folder onto it, but no matter how many times I try, the unit simply will not go into testmode, it starts with the splashscreen, then its the top menu or its OFF waiting for me to select, no WinCE

Any ideas please?

Chris

Replace the MUTE WIRE with the PB?

You have to MOVE the mute wire in its block to a point on the other side of the same block between two BLACK wires, and ensure its pushed FULLY HOME and the actual pin isnt damaged when you remove it from the first hole, you did this?

THEN you join this newly pinned MUTE Wire to the PB wire, and ground them using the BLACK wire on the ISO connectors

You did this?

Chris

I had the same sort of problem mate on the F910BT and figured it out, dont know if you have the same issue?

On mine, I left a USB stick attached after fitting it but it wasnt formatted to the FAT32 and thats what the unit likes, so mine kept on with that message your getting, then rebooting, and then the message... eternal loop!!!

Mine works fine now I reformatted using FAT32 give it a try

Chris

Hey Paul!

Sorted!!

Turns out the stick I was using was formatted using the FAT file system, the unit really only likes Fat32 lol

Mine also starts playing as soon as its plugged in, but once connected, if the units off then turned on again, I can select the USB as the source, or something else doesnt start straight away once its connected all the time

another lesson learned

Chris

Hiya guys

Just read the back of the manual for some specs on video, and it depends on what type of file your using for films that aren't straight DVD Films

Seems the DivX compatibility lists the movie size as 720 pixels × 576 pixels with a maximum files size of 4GB

AVI Image size: VGA (640 pixels x 480pixels) Bit rate: 480 kbps and Frame rate: 24 fps

MP4 is the same as AVI

The actual screen size is 800 x 480 as pointed out before so hopefully i can find a convertor and do some test files, I will let you know

Chris

Hiya guys

Wierd goings on, anyone had this before?

Before I start, Pioneers TECH UK havent seen this one apparently, and as the units only a week old, want me to return to the seller, great...... took me three hours to install with all the hardwired mods (Reversing light, Speed Pulse) so i really am looking forwards to removing it!)

The unit installed fine, no problems at all

The Headunit needed the firmware update, but I only got it installed Sunday afternoon so decided to wait for that until this week

Now, heres the problem

1) If the unit is turned on and there is NO USB memory stick attached, the unit boots up and works no problem at all, but if I connect the USB stick, it then accesses it constantly (Light on USB stick is flashing) but thats as far as I get, cannot select USB MEMORY STICK from the menu

2) If I plug the USB stick in BEFORE I power up, the unit then shows the splash screen, then sats "System Startup please wait) or words to that effect and then after a short period, reboots, and goes through it again, in a continuous loop, splash screen, system startup, reboot, splash screen, system startup, reboot.....

on and on... and on... and on

Pioneer Tech say they havent seen this, and suggest returning the unit, the suppliers suggest doing the firmware update (Done this, no change) and also trying another USB Stick which I will get tomorrow

Anyone seen this one??

Any help appreciated before this nice new head unit gets broken by a very frustrated End User

Chris

Thanks for the replies guys appreciated!!

Paul... u have a PM

Chris

You have done the hardware bypass. There is no need to do the software bypass at all. You are good to go without it.

Ahh right!

I didn't realise the hardware bypass was sufficent I thought the config of the software had to be changed as well!

Am I correct with my wiring and where it needs to go?

Thank you for your reply!

Chris

Hiya guys!

First post in the forums, been reading through the stuff I need to find out about, but either I can't find it or its there and I simply don't understand??

Im 45yrs btw, so go easy lol

Just got my AVIC F910BT (UK MODEL) and I like loads of others would like to be able to use the unit whilst the cars moving (KIDS! not me lol)

Its not been installed yet, so I don't know what version software its running, but it says it was manufactured in May 2009 I believe.

Now, I have seen that the MUTE Cable needed to be moved in the connector to the free space between the two wires on the underneath of the connector, so I have done that already. I was very careful, and the connector went in to the new hole cleanly and CLICKED into place, so the pins not damaged either.

From what I can gather this MUTE cable now needs to be joined to the HANDBRAKE wire, and these two then need to be earthed to the car?? (If correct I have a crimp with the small solid circle and I will simply screw straight into the cars frame where I have been before)

So...... if this is all correct so far, Im getting there

Now, the puzzling bit lol

I need to use a formatted 2GB or higher capacity SD card, and then put some files onto it?

If I then put this into the F910BT it enters testmode? Is this correct?

If its correct then could someone please tell me the EXACT files needed to be put onto the SD Card for the F910BT please?

Next question

I understand I need to change a value in the software of the unit to allow me to use the unit whilst moving, again, this im very unclear about

I would like to make sure I backed up my units original software first, but how do I go about doing that?

Once I have backed it up, I will store it on the PC at home, plus put it onto a couple of CDs to make sure its not lost or damaged

Then the question is how do I make the corrections in the software, and get that back onto the unit?

Im not at all worried about the proceedure itself, im sure it will go smoothly with the right help, but I just want to ensure I get the right answers to the questions so im 100% clear about what exactly needs to be done

Im sure for the guys that have been doing it for a while it all makes sence, as you've probably done software changes so often your used to it, but for someone starting out, some of the posts I've read make me think I have missed something, because I don't know how to get the original software backed up, and how to change it once I have got it, so please, someone let me know in easy terms, a start to finish with all the steps, it would be VERY appreciated, and I would be happy to put some payal beers your way for your time
