Mr. Underhill

I have an Avic F-700bt. I have a SCC1 connected to the CD-SB10 which then connects to the head unit (the Avic). This has been the set-up for quite sometime until just recently the Sirius stopped producing audio. All other sources (iPod, CD, etc) produce audio). Visually all the sirius information is displayed (as if the unit was playing satellite radio). I have contacted Sirius and I swapped out the SCC1 for a new one. I also swapped the cable that connects the SCC1 to the CD-SB10 Module. Still no audio. However, after I swapped the SCC1 for a new one I noticed the following thin

Yes, the real test will be to take it out and plug it into the tv.... however, that means i gotta take crap apart. what i am thinking fo dowingis going to apple and see if they can just test it with one of those cables. as for background... this all started happening once i reformatted on my iphone from windows to mac... could hat be the issue...seeing how avic is really a oc at the end of the day. also, like i mentioned above...evrything was working fine before. also... not sure what exact version, but i have the 80Gb ipod... the one that came out after the iPOD VIDEO... I think

Got an Avic-F700bt. I am unable to get any videe from my ipod and iphone on my Avic. Get music and the sound from video, but just no picture. Tried everything...checked every connection. Swapped cables. Then tried a friend's iphone... WE GOT VIDEO. Tried another friend's iPhone.... WE GOT VIDEO. So...we went in to my ipod and checked the video settings.. made sure all the neccessaries turned on. Made sure checked NTSC... still not picture. Reset the Ipod. Still no picture/ video. However, if I plug some headphones into my ipod or iphone I get video just fine. An

I have a question about my car setup. I have Polk DB6501 component speakers -- 2 of them up from -- with the tweets up where the 3.5’s use to be in the dash and in and the 6.5’s in the door (which are sound deadened). These front speakers are amp by a JL AUDIO 2-Channel Amp. The rear speakers are Polk db coaxials which are un-amped.. I also have a 12 inch sub in the trunk powered by a JL AUDIO mono block amp. I have a AVIC-F700BT Series and was wondering how to set the HPF and LPFs on that head-unit ? any ideas where the settings should be?

you are a genius. would have been nice to have pioneer tell us that you need to create a folder named POI to transfer ones PoI's via an SD card. I've had this unit for close to a year now and I've been racking my brain every three months trying to figure out why my f700bt will not recognize my kml file.

REALLY? I actually just got my headunit back from Pioneer last week. The invoice said that they replaced the iPod cable. Now, it seems to work fine. In retrospect, I don't know if it was a great idea to upgrade the maps.... b/c now every time I go to SIrius and FM (but not Ipod), my headunit starts flipping channels. HOwever, my hunch is that this maybe a loose connection somewhere. Is your headunit still under warranty? If not, I am sure there is/was a warranty for the software -- go through Pioneer via that route. However, I must tell you that it took them a little over a month

I had an odd issue happen today. I had my car installer attempt to reprogram my PAC-SWPs thingy (to control the unit via my Saab steering wheel). Now this is the first time I have tried to program it since purchasing the $100 upgrade from Pioneer (I have the F-700bt), Well, for some reason my PAC was getting power from just the black cord pulgged into the back of the Pioneer (this is with the wire harness taken off of the PAC). Tried another PAC, same result. Called PAC, they said problem with Pioneer likely. So Shop tested it with new Pioneer Headunit and same problem. Then called P

I actually suckered out. I just sent it to Pioneer this morning. They said it likely will be covered under the Warranty. Before I called Pioneer I called a custom car stereo shop up in Valencia, CA. The dude said, as of late, more and more avic 700bt people have been coming back in lately complaining of the same problem. Only until recently did this kind of stuff happening, the dude said. He also said, he tried to get the "fix" from Pioneer, but they said no - and mentioned "likely b/c they want to keep it under wraps so only they can fix it." So, that is what I did. I'll let you a

This just started doing the same thing for me. It constantly reboots but never gets the passed the start up screen. It just started doing this the other day. I have tried using the paper clip and reseting the machine but to no avail. The only thing I know I have done differently is that I tried (ineffictively) to upload contacts via the AVIC Feeds via CSV file and it never working (b/c someone here saud it can only take a max of 100 contacts). Anybody solve this problem (the constant rebot)?

thanks for the move. will try;.

sorry about the wrong forum -- just saw bt and for some reason slipped my mind. as to yous specific question -- 231 lines (231 contacts). My guess is that you are going to say that this is way too many... if so... would mind sharring me a little knowledge and sending me to my appropriate room (i.e forum). Thanks. and Thanks for polite about it. Grrrr these AVICS!!!!

So, I am not sure if I am adding to or confusing this discussion. I have an iphone and I tried transferring my addresses to my AVIC f 700bt, however, I have much to many entries for it to hold all of them and the one's it did transfer only selected one of the numbers I had listed for a particular entry (not so sure which one it picked; likely the first one I imagine). So, what I did was convert all my outlook contacts into a csv file (i.e. I exported them). Then, in excel I MANUALLY lined all the contacts that I wanted to use on my my Avic in similar columns -- I entered the full name of

the input on the bottom left (when looking at it) corner. the iu230v connects into the back of the machine (just like the apple cord I just purchase does). Looking for the cable that goes into the bottom left.... i tried a aux cable i had laying around and it does not work. thought maybe the avic 700bt required a special cable or something.

yes. however... are you sure that cable you mentioned above is the one that connects to that auxillary looking housing that is there. If so, does apple make one as well. and just so i didnt confuse things...the cable that i just bought was the one that connects into the rear of the unit (the apple one). works fabulous.

Thanks. Got the apple cable. And actually it's design works better for me than the pioneer-esq one anway (ie where the USB cable splits). Danke!!!

Sorry... got one more question. What kind of cable do I need to access the female connection on the actual headunit? I have the AVIC 700bt. I just learned it's not straight aux... is this another cable where I have a chocie of getting pioneer vs apple? the reason i ask is...if i am going to go to apple store...should just get both to save a trip.

ahh. you're right. my bad.

Isn't the composite cable the one with red blue and ren and then two things for audio? I'm liking the idea of going with apple, but just want to make sure it is going to work in a simialr fashion to the pioneer cable.

Geese. I don't have it handy to look. But it is the one that came out after the iPod Video. I think they started calling it the iPod Classic, I think. I know it is 80GB. And, I am also fairly certain it is not a Pioneer Cable now. What shoudl I do. Won't a Pioneer Cable produce the same results? Does apple make a plug that does same thing?

I have the AVIC-f700bt and the CD-IU230V cable for my iPod. I am not sure if it is Pioneer one (don't see any name on it). I got it where I got my stuff installed. everything worked fine for like 2 months. then, i updated my ipod and itunes (b/c my harddrive died and I never resynched it). then, I play a music video i boght from itunes and i hear the music but i do not see any video. then i tried it for all other movies... and the same thing. i get sound no video. is this b/c it is not a pioneer cable. do i have to get/ install another cable or is there a pin adapter or somethi

I have a F700bt and I am trying to extend some of the wires that are coming out of the Pioneer Power Harness. I purchased 18 gauge wire at first, then some 16 gauge... but I have no idea what wires are what gauge? None of the wires have any gauge reading on them. Can someone tell me what wires are what gauge? So looossst.

So, I no not to cut the GPS wire. But I mounted by GPS antenna underneath the alarm thingamajiger on my 2002 Saab 9-3 Se Convertible and it works great. It's just space is at a premium on my car, and I got a wad of GPS antenna to hide. Any body know if there is shorter alternative. Or maybe I should just route the GPS antenna to the back of the car? To the shark fiin on passenger side corner? I have a convertibe and there is really no speace that I can think of. I know...don't cut the gps wire. However, many people told me not to touch the silver relfector in my headlight assembl

Have you actualy done this yourself Retell ? the reason I ask is that these are Electret Condenser Mics and have a voltage up the centre conductor to power the Mic electronics, connecting the two units together without some kind of DC decoupling on one of them could damage one or both units. Thanks Brian for your comment. I almost tried it. Has anyone figured out any way to tap in? Have you figured out how to tap into the ONSTAR mic yet. I have an AVIC f700bt and a SAAB 2002 9-3 SE convertible and I can't seem to get it to work. First, I tried finding the mic by following the

From what I recall lasteveinng, the Pioneer Mic cable is 2.5 mm. (and as I do not have mic; friend broke it taking it out of car) can I just use any other 2.5 mic "thingy". and, someone mentioned on a post someewhere that those mics have two different "impedences" (sp)... which dodges the question. ...how does one locate these wires?

Me three! I'd love some info on getting to do this. I have my AVIC f700bt sitting right next to me and waiting to give the installer/ friend / helper of my mind a little direction on how to do the onstar thing. Please ole wise one, rcxracing, provide us some wisdom.
