i had the fx3.1 on my f900bt and just copied my state files as a test and it worked fine.

Well soldering the connector would have been a pita because everything has to come apart to get to that bottom board. What I did find, however, is that the problem appears to be the ipod cable at the RCA connections! I took everything apart and cleaned all the connections. 1 week later, right channel went out again. I barely touched the RCA connector and it popped back on. I put a zip tie on the cable (locked it in place) and have it where I can easily hide it or tug it when I need it fixed. I will probably finally get an Apple cable at some point though. Such a stupid thing makes these

Sorry to hear that. You might want to bench test that thing. Get it on a table with a 12v supply and such. You could then test with a hair dryer or even freeze spray to prove the thermal theory. That is what I would do anyway. Also, cold solder joints can be worse with heat at times too. I am having the "sound cutting out on right side iPod issue" and was going to pull it to solder the headers this weekend, but had family come in from out of town, which was much more enjoyable. Also, when I first installed mine, the touch screen would just stop working. I made sure to put electri

Look for a post here that deals with editing your phonebook.db file. My VR would not work with contact names at all, even though it worked with numbers and my iPod VR worked fine. The problem was that my Motorola phone put funky characters for some of the default speed dials during the contacts upload that the AVIC didn't like. Once I cleaned up the file using a mySql manager plugin for Firefox (free), all works fine. You will have to go into testmode and find the db file, copy it to an SD, modify it on your computer and then replace it back on your flash drive. Part of the filename is yo

Rough....some of us live here you know.

I am having the same problem. I actually heard some strange digital-type noise coming out of the right channel just an hour ago which made me do this search. After "love tapping" near the head unit on the right, the noise cleared up and it sounded great. I tried wiggling the iPod cable with no change. I assume the problem is in the head unit as a cold solder joint. At least we know it is not an output/amp issue as it only happens in iPod mode. So many people are having this issue, it must be a factory ooops. I repaired electronics for 10 years in the 80's and 90's and certain models of
