9yr old thread revival on the chance the OP still gets notifications of replies from this forum!!

Don't you ever get tired of always being a jackass....

Vblue42,,,same $^$# attitude, different day, not an apology for the same attitude anywhere in sight either. So, what is this site you linked? It asking me to login before I can do anything, and it's not even in English.

Splash screen is one thing, but what about the blah, black and featureless screens like when viewing the radio presets. It'd be nice to see something in the background just to add some color to the damn screen

Haven't come here in months, yet your same positive, innovative attitude is still here...how refreshing. Any, to the OP...I've got the same hopes you do, so it comes down to someone knowing how to write the stuff (maybe some of the geniuses over on XDA-Developers.com who write all the custom ROMs and Kernals and I use on my phone) and the willingness to do so. As far fatched as it may be, I'd love if my F90BT looked like this vs having to buy a Dynavin unit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKuiXTBKGfU&feature=related

I'm sorry, did I insult you...or am I stating a fact. I got in trouble for swearing, not commenting against the same general demeanor that dumpystig has commented about you as well. I edited the post in question and haven't sworn since.

Yeah, we should probably just close the forums all together. Since you've answered ALL the questions anyone could ever ask, close out any chances to reply and/or ask questions and just force everyone to search in the F90 subforums...imagine all the potential space and time it could save from you having to say no all the time!

I've yet to try it, but supposedly the 3.5mm headphone jack on the front of the F90BT is an A/V jack, so you can run both sound and video into there by going to AV2 on the screen of the stereo. Easy, $20 fix. I've been using a PS2 and inverter in my M5 for years, running to an old Pioneer CVA1005 and it works great. I've got a similar one in my X5, but since the F90BT can play movies, I mostly use it to power a laptop and then use my phone to provide WiFi for whoevers using the laptop. Huh? Coming from another person who has a car stereo in their dash than can do GPS

The reaction time on the F90BT between touchscreen inputs is so slow, I can't imagine how well it would work for using OBDII software. I use an app called Torque on my Android phone, and then purchased a $20 OBDII reader via eBay...works like a champ and I can easily take it w/ me to test on other vehicles as well. Honestly, trying to incorporate this into the decks OS is more trouble than what it's worth. Once the devs over on the Android forums get TV-Out working on my Samsung Epic, I'll be able to use the front A/V input and have it show everything that is on the phones screen from OB

That is V's general demeanor...after a while, you learn to ignore it.

Do I want Navteq or Teleatlas, and can I simply put them onto an SD card and replace the existing ones or do I have to download the whole FX3.1 image again?

I downloaded this I don't even remember how many months ago, close to when it was first released. Has there been any changes to it at all? I've seen people talking about newer maps, but I wouldn't even know where to start.

Thanks, I'll make sure to ask for an NTSC when I order ...and cover-up my prized WSU Alumni license plate frame - no no no I've seen the same style without the plate frame mount, but the seperately mounted version would look to added on. I've been actually looking at the two below, I'm just trying to determine their size for fitment and decide if CCD is really worth 2x the price for something I'll use maybe 3-4 a year since I only want it for backing to my trailer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... OTORS:1123 - CMOS version http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K

Thanks.

What would be the use for enabling the camera while driving? I'm looking around for cameras for my X5 and came across this little guy

In regards to backup camera types, I've seen them listed as being NTSC or PAL...which do we need?

Posting a link would be helpful. I'm also curious as to what type of camera I'd need for an AVIC F90BT as I've seen them for NTSC or PAL...which do we/I need?

Month old thread or not, this subforum doesn't have a lot of movement. It was on the first page, I don't look at dates, and I replied. These decks are OLD and have been out for YEARS, so yes, It HAS been written about countless times. Great that you can do those things to your deck as I have as well. Sure, your post count isn't high, but it's an easy way to gauge someones activity, so no need to get offended. I replied because it didn't have responses, so I was attempting to help you by telling that the information is there because I've looked for the same thing myself when I was also

I can't remember what page the information was on, but how do we make changes so that then boot time is faster? It was something like not having the OS recheck itself at each startup of something along those lines. I appreciate that the volume knob still works when I start the unit up right away, but it seems that bootup times vary, sometimes going straight to the main menu and othertimes showing the menu but saying that I need to wait while it's still loading. I don't understand why it's so inconsistant, but even if, is there any harm in it not rechecking itself everytime? I'd like to be

Teiva, the problem is that you're a new user and these questions have been answered in nauseum. Youre better of doing some reading around instead of jumping right in and asking questions as most simply won't reply to this type of topic...again. It was play just about anything you put in it, you just need to know how. Open up a browser that can do tabs well, start browsing down the list of replies and just start opening multiple windows. If you've got questions beyond that, revive a thread instead of starting a new topic...keep the house clean.

So I purchased this for going from the phone to the TV - http://cgi.ebay.com/New-3-5mm-jack-3-RC ... 19bf969be6 Now I should purchase this to go from phone to AVIC? - http://cgi.ebay.com/6ft-3-5mm-AV-Mini-P ... 3a59d885ad If so, I had no idea about using a 3.5mm headphone jack for both audio and video until I got this phone, so that's pretty cool that a single connection can handle all that, nor did I know that's how the AUX2 input operated to receive video either.

I realize that, but im going off McLovin82's idea of using the TV-Out option on my phone and using it as an A/V source to be displayed on the screen. For example, my phone also has DLNA, so as long as I have a DLNA device...PC, TV, etc., than everything on my phone can be played on the external screen of my choice. I've never understood why the stereo gives me a video warning when AV1 is the iPod input and AV2 is nothing more than a headphone jack on the front.

I'm running an F90BT. I don't remember seeing a set of RCA's for video input into AUX2, and I use the front 3.5mm jack for audio input...which looks ugly, but it works.

I can use the 3.5mm headphone jack on my Epic as a video output to RCA's, but I still don't see where the inputs are for AV2. It gives me a warning saying to not watch video, but I don't even see where the RCA's are...I just use that input for the front 3.5mm headphone jack for when I'm streaming music.

This sounds promising, hopefully it pans out. FX3.1 was a great upgrade, but the unit still takes too long to initially start and has terrible lagging issues when watching movies via SD. If I'm reading this thread correctly, it sounds like an update to the WinCE that is on the deck now, which could probably use some speed tweaks.
