Resolved! http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/32527-avic-f930-bt-in-audi-mk2-tt/page__p__249153__fromsearch__1#entry249153

Here's a pic with a F900BT fitted to my mk2 Audi TT: You can see the metal showing at the bottom - the black square surround that came with the headunit dosn't appear to fit in the aperture given by the Connects2 facia. I had to cut the bottom part of the square trim away and use 3M double-sided foamed tape to stick down the ends of both the sides; they stick directly to the lower corners of the headunit itself! Not very happy with this.

Are there any Pioneer square surround trims that fit the Audi TT >2006 double DIN facia? I paid a professional to supply the cables and fit the headunit on Saturday. My Concert II had some kind of speaker-amplification system which required special wiring or the speakers were going to be much quieter than they should. They had to fit 2x amplification transformers to get this to work and used a bespoke wiring method; there doesn't appear to be any genuine off-the-shelf wiring loom for the scenario so beware. I'd advise pulling out your standard radio and checking the existing factory

I have the standard Audi Concert CD player but want to remove it and put in my AVIC F900bt. I already understand I need to purchase the double-DIN cage and facia surround, and I already have acquired a standard autoleads Audi-ISO cable that I'm hoping will apply. Anyone got a fitting procedure? Is there something you can do to ensure the Pioneer displays information on the driver's instrument panel like the factory unit already does (track number / radio station name etc.)?

I'm going to try your latest release tonight Matt. Thanks for all your hard work; it's appreciated how much time it takes.

Thanks davidof. I've just done this and will find out if it works when I go out for a drive. I used the Star Trek "red alert" wav sound, available here.

Awesome, I look forward to hearing your findings

Any update on being able to get on the Navi using the Windows Mobile 6.1 emulator?

Update? It's now 2010 and the emulator Wiki article describes using different apps in the Windows Mobile 6.1 emulator. I can load everything apart from the Navi. Just get a white screen with the text "NaviMain" (without quotes) in the centre.

Thank you very much FourG, I followed the instructions set in the Wiki http://avic411.com/wiki/index.php/OS_Emulation and have my headunit working like-for-like on my desktop PC now! ***edit: Only the main menu loads and there's already been discussions about getting the Navi to load - it simply won't so this whole thing is pretty useless I'm afraid*** To complete this thread, let me remind everyone that you can download a factory backup of the F900BT software from this AVIC411.com pin'd thread: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=18977 Thanks again FourG.

My guide might help you if you're a European user. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=30637

Hello all, Some of you must have already considered how good it would be to test any mods/hacks you have done on a virtual machine on your PC instead of going outside into your car each time, especially when its a case of trial and error! You can download Microsoft Virtual PC from here for free directly from Microsoft of course, but how can you put a copy of Windows CE on it? If you could install Wince on a virtual PC, surely you could copy the contents of the AVIC flash drive onto it and have a virtual Pioneer AVIC on your PC to test on? Any experts out there have any views?

No I haven't attempted to update the maps Ben as I felt they were ok being dated late 2008. (I have been used to TomTom Navigator 2005 for the last 5 years so this is pretty new for me )

Hello, I have owned the AVIC-F900BT for little over 1 month and although found this forum very useful, found the clarity of the instructions given too poor for new users of the Europe / UK region. I hope you find the below easy to follow to get your European / UK AVIC-F900BT up-to-date and install two very common modifications. I am not in any way responsible for any damage to your AVIC during or after following the steps below. They have been provided in good faith that you are competent enough to follow instructions correctly and I have had no issues with my own AVIC thus far. Th

Retailer confirmed as a software problem causing the screen to go white after so much time. Swapped for another brand new unit free of charge and so far this one is working fine. CASE CLOSED

I've successfully used the reset button on the front of the headunit and then upgraded the firmware to 2.009 straight from Pioneer's website here. Unfortunately, problem persists and happened today as I just started the car from cold.

Took it for over an hours drive, seemed to be working fine after I'd changed the earthing point earlier today. After about 40 minutes the whiteout suddenly appeared again, without warning and whilst on Navigation just as it had done previously above. Any ideas anyone? Faulty unit?

CONFIRMED working, many thanks for your info

I've had it all out and rewired the earth to a more reliable place now. Seems fine upon initial inspection but I haven't took it for a test drive yet.

F900BT purchased brand new today Installed by myself; non-professional Region: Europe Version: 1.0006 (Map), 1.9 (Firmware) After having the headunit powered up for about 10 minutes whilst car is idle after first-time installation, I was able to have a play and personalise the settings before I took it for a test drive. After about 10 seconds into vehicle movement, the whole screen gains a whiteout washout, even though you can just about see what's going on in the background and you can still interact with the touchscreen and GUI. I pulled over and turned the car off then on again a

Make sure the MapDBInfo.txt file in \MiTACAP\APL2\iGo\content states Area: EW and not anything different if your headunit is for the European market.

There is a post on this forum here that talks about removing the beeps altogether once in the background Windows OS! I've yet to try it since its 3AM now but I'm sure it'll work.
