Sorry for being such a newb, but is there supposed to be a link for the ezrider and license file in the first post? I've got the map files, but I'm lacking the ezrider and the license files. Does anyone know where to find them? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Nevermind, they were included on the part 7 of the .rars, however the links won't work anymore. Could anyone upload the ezrider and the license files again? I would greatly appreciate it.

Another option would be Pioneers own cable CD-IU200VM I guess. Picture below. The Apple composite cable is just a lot cheaper than the Pioneer one. Can anyone confirm if streaming radio from Internet radio via iPhone/iPod is possible with either one of these cables? So that I would hear the audio from the car speakers of course.

yeah i believe you can have the unit in IPOD source and have your iphone connected and playing.. then go to Pandora Radio or any internet radio streamer.

Thanks for the info! Do you know if it works just by having it connected in the unit's USB? Or do I need the Apple Composite AV Cable to connect it to the AV input to have the audio as well?

F500BT doesn't have the RCA inputs in it like the F700BT does. But the Apple Composite AV cable has the yellow audio connector, I wonder if I'd get the audio by connecting that to the F500BTs AV-input. Here's a pic of the Apple Composite AV cable:

Hey,

I completely replaced my factory stereo/radio with F500BT installed in-dash and F500BT doesn't have an integrated radio. Now I've started to miss listening to radio a bit.

I currently don't have a phone with radio possibilites. I was wondering, is it possible to stream radio from for example an iPhone via USB connected to the unit, so that I could hear the audio from my speakers just like I would be listening to mp3's via USB?

Or are there any other easy solutions to get radio back to my car without having to put my old stereo back?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the answers! I got it figured out already. I was really confused with all the information in the hardware bypass thread, but all I had to do was to tap the light green wire to the black ground wire! Now I'm able to watch video while in motion and everything. I dunno if it's easier for us with the EU units. I didn't have to do anything to the software either.

Thanks for all the advice!

Now, if only there was a solution to avoid the error/freeze with F500BT when turning off ignition with a flash drive in the USB I'd be a happy man.

And this is really off-topic now, but here goes nothing: I replaced my factory stereo/radio with F500BT installed in-dash and F500BT doesn't have an integrated radio. What would be the easiest way to get an FM transmitter with the F500BT + its amp (ND-G500)? Would somekind of USB FM transmitter work? Or a cell phone with radio connected through USB? As you can see, I'm a bit of a noob with these things.

Thanks a lot for the reply Scott! I'll have a look at these.

I've been thinking about doing the hardware bypass as well yeah. It might be a bit easier.

Still no update to this from anyone?

I've got the same problem as well. My F500BT freezes everytime I turn off the ignition when the USB flash drive is connected and then I have to do the holding down 5 secs reset- thingy.

Hey guys,

I'm a total newb when it comes to these things, so forgive me for the questions I'm about to ask

I've got the EU Avic-F500BT installed in-dash on my car with the latest 3.020200 firmware installed from Pioneer's website without any modifications. I'd like to get the software bypass working on my unit.

Now this is where the problem is for me. Because I have already installed the latest firmware to the unit, I cannot reupdate it with the modified .ini-file where I changed the parking_break_speed value to 128.

So, how can I reupdate the unit with the modified .ini-file? Does it have something to do with the testmode?

Or should I just press the reset button from the back of the unit and reupdate the modified firmware? Or does reseting the unit even reset the firmware?

Also, how is it possible to get access to the files of the actual unit as in the guide of this topic viewtopic.php?p=135213 . When I hook up the unit to the computer via USB, my comp won't recognize it. I was just thinking of doing backups in case I screw something up

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with this, I've tried searching the forum a lot but I guess my questions are too stupid Thanks in advance!
