  1. Hmmm. A new, unused map and BT software update complete on a SD card for less than the vendor price and they have a small supply for sale via ebay. Yeah I would definitely jump all over that!
  2. you're welcome. It really matches my interior for the 30 seconds it's displayed. What did you think about the embossing of the word "Escape". I'm thinking I should have gone with a fatter font?
  3. You're Welcome This is why we join a forum. I was hoping some Iphone users would jump in and give their opinion (iphones ouput their display data via hardwire) . Sorry to hear about your upgrade efforts as well. All that risk, for so little reward is discouraging.
  4. LOL! I see what you did there. You sir are a Moderator.
  5. Here's the splash screen I created for my X940BT using Photoshop and less than one-hour. The medallion is gray-scale tones with a texture overlay on a carbon-fiber background with some subtle embossing. This is my 4th attempt at creating something unique it tested out great on my unit ( scale and aspect ratio) and really looks fairly cool; but what do I know! I'd like your criticisms and comments.
  6. I so wanted to use Dash Command before I scored my 940BT. I've come to learn that it won't work as nicely with the older Avics as it will with the AppRadio line-up. Dash Commands will display the data on your Phone or Tablet, but your Avic's display will need a direct connection with device running it. As for Album Art via BT that also negative. The interesting thing about the album art displaying is that it works fine with Pandora or Aha radio.
  7. Getting prepared to install an X940 into a "05" ford Escape and since this is a DIY project I'm looking at everything related to the project. My unit was used so I'm uncertain about several things. One of these is that initially I'm not planning on using any other A/V source related to the auxiliary wiring harness , that being the case, do I need it to operate the unit? UPDATE: OK it dawned on me that even if I don't use it for anything else, I'll need the Auxiliary Harness to do the PB Bypass.
  8. LOL! My apologies then for my initial post. I was sensing a pattern with respect to line voltage irregularities with the various model Avic,s from the posts that I have read. Members will often report an issues with their units and then go silent without leaving any follow-up. It;s like a Cold Case File...I like mysteries, so I'm always looking for a resolution. Perhaps the Ipods Capacitance Controller is showing it's age?
  9. Ok. Perhaps I mis-read your post. The "source media" you refer to is confined to the Ipod and not your 920.
  10. I don't have the experience in Car Audio to offer any real help. I do want to try to encourage forum members to participate in seeking solutions. Way to many post go unanswered here. I have read numerous post were a member has had a battery die or some other type of power line condition that has negatively impacted their units functions in various ways. Have you considered that Transient Voltage Spikes might be responsible. I would be helpful if other members could comment if they have used or have considered using Transient Voltage suppressors in their installations. I am currently considerin
  11. Maps for life (LOL) HERE@ mapping service was acquired via the Microsoft deal with Nokia last year. Although this sounds like a tasty bonus my gut tells me "It's a Trap"! On the other hand though....Mmmmm the Avic NEX looks so shiny.
  12. Excuse me if I bring this thread back fro the dead, but are you referring to AppRadio units specifically or is this "proper" for any reverse camera install ?
  13. Which is why (pioneer) won't ever consider using this business model. They know that they will lose money hand over fist! Mapping companies' licensing contracts being what they are. Pioneer can only hope AppRadio units can be competitive in a market saturated with navigation options. As for the Avic line up...I think we all know where this is heading.
  14. Rumor has it... that you have to be in Australia for that particular update. I could be wrong.
  15. Has anyone successfully used an BT headset with their Avic Systems in place of the wired microphone? The question has nagged me for a while and since I haven't installed my 940 as of yet I'm curious about doing this.
