  1. This is an issue with IOS 5 and affects any iPhone or Ipod Touch running it. There are 3 or 4 other threads on this regarding the F700BT/F90BT/F900BT/X710BT/X910BT platform AVICs.
  2. I happen to own an '01 S4 myself. The reason you are getting sound from the LF only is that you are actually getting sound from the dedicated phone speaker that these cars have when they are Bose equipped. The LF speaker wiring goes to this speaker. My strong guess is that your Bose amp is not getting turned on. Make sure you connect the AVIC's amp turn on lead to the Bose amp turn on lead.
  3. There's not reason to wait! Go to your settings menu and change the Video 1 input from iPod to AV1. Select AV1 as your source and Netflix should work just fine.
  4. My bet....they got the AVIC X920BT/X930BT Pandora app made by pioneer that is having issues with IOS5 with our older F900BT/F90BT/F700BT/X910BT/710BT units. I'm likely getting a 4GS soon as part of our annual phone upgrade rotation. I'm thinking of taking advantage of the new mirroring feature of the 4GS when using the HDMI video cable. I will need an HDMI to composite converter, but those aren't too expensive. The advantage here is that no further IOS update will likely break anything and generally anything that can appear on the iPhone screen will show on the AVIC. I may use the AV2
  5. Assuming we might never get a fix for this, I have been experimenting with using streaming video instead of syncing video via iTunes. In the process I ran across a very good and simple to setup streaming app called Air Video. Basically, you install a server on a computer at home and point it to various directories on the computer where you have video stored. You then buy a $3 app for the iPhone, there is a free version you can test with. The nice thing is that it can convert many file types in real time at various qualities depending on your preferences and the type of connection you are o
  6. I've done a little more research, AVICs are definately not the only car radio or A/V dock that is having issues with IOS5. There have also been other issues with the programs that use video out. I'm beginning to think Apple has broken more than a few things with the Ipod functionality of IOS 5. Good news is that we are much more likely to see a fix from Apple than Pioneer. I think we're just going to have to hold on and wait for some IOS 5 bug fixes.
  7. Pioneer is working on a fix for Pandora and Aha since these are their apps, not Apple's: http://www.pioneerel...ion/AVIC-X930BT IPod playback seems to have issues on IOS 5.0 in general. My older X710BT will play audio just fine, but if you switch to the video mode on the iPod interface it will reboot the unit. From what I can tell, there seem to be a few bugs in general with external video and audio output on IOS 5 outside of the AVIC units. Look I'm no Apple fan boy and I carry an Android and iPhone 4 phone with me every day. The one thing I can say is that Apple gets fixes out much
  8. I had a look at the individual file versions of the latest US and EU firmwares: Latest US: ---- integrate version: 3.020100 ---- 7z.dll - 1.0.0.6 CustomFontLib.dll - 1.0.0.6 GdiPlus2.dll - 1.0.0.6 V2dModel.dll - 1.0.0.6 AplCommonLib.dll - 1.0.0.1 AplLib.dll - 1.0.0.1 Av.exe - 1.0.2.5 CommonLib.dll - 1.0.1.7 iPod.dll - 1.5.0.1 iPodCP.dll - MainMenu.exe - 1.0.1.3 Navi.exe - 1.0.0.1 NBaseLib.dll - 1.0.0.7 NDeviceLib.dll - 1.0.0.1 NEventBaseLib.dll - 1.0.0.6 NEventWatcher.exe - 1.0.0.10 NPCommonLib.dll - 1.0.0.6 NPLib.dll - 1.0.0.1 NStan
  9. Well, I'm in the US...so hopefully we're dealing with two different support organizations, doubling our slim chances of getting a real response!
  10. I've tried a few things, but no success. I opened a ticket with Pioneer this weekend. I'm not extremely hopeful, but then again they did release a map update and firmware fixes for v3.xx and v4.xx units in Europe a few months ago.
  11. I also tried a 3GS that has been upgraded to iOS 5. Music works fine, but my X710BT reboots if I try to press the video tab. I can play back the audio of a video podcast with no issues in the music mode.
  12. Well, it would appear then you might be able to at least get music working but upgrading to 3.0 via one of the hack methods or buying a map upgrade.
  13. My x710bt (which is basically the same as your F90bt) will play music at least.....what version of software are you on? I'm on 3.0201.
  14. Are you able to play videos? I'm on the production version of IOS5 on an iPhone 4. I can play music just fine via the iPod input, but the minute I swtich to video, my X710BT restarts. I'm wondering if any of this has to do with the fact that IOS5 has split the video and music IPod functiond between two apps now.
  15. Metra is a pretty good source for this kind of stuff, they are one of the main suppliers of aftermarket radio installation parts. Specifically I think you are going to need the following: http://www.metraonline.com/part/40-EU55 The motorola male connector goes into the appradio and the other end plugs into your car's antenna wiring, this will probably replace the antenna adapter I suspect you had to install with the radio. The power lead coming off of it needs to be attached to a +12v power source that is swtiched with the key, this should be the red wire coming out of the radio. Th
  16. I'm a VW/Audi guy... What kind of car and year do you have? It's very likely you need to buy a small adapter that injects power up the FM antenna lead to power the factory antenna amp.
  17. I've worked in the wireless industry as an engineer for 14 years; I don't think this qualifies as tethering. Tethering implies that you are using your phone to provide an internet data connection to an application running on another device. In this case, the appradio is being used as a remote control for applications running on your phone. So I think you are safe. That said, AT&T is most likely coming after you because of the amount of data you are using and assuming it's because of tethering. They could look at what you are actually doing and probably see that it is not tethering, but
  18. Did you really read your owner's manual? There's a picture in it that should make it pretty clear and here's a direct quote from the section: Connecting your iPod Using the USB interface cable for iPod enables you to connect your iPod to the navigation system. A USB interface cable for iPod (CD-IU230V)(sold separately) is required for connection. Go buy a CD-IU230V and you should be good: CD-IU230V
  19. Read your owner's manual....you need a cable that has L/R Audio and Video RCA jacks in addition to the USB connection. You also need to set AV1 to iPod in the configuration menu.
  20. In short, no. People have gotten a SDIO WiFi to work in the SD slot, but you'll likely never get this to work outside of the Windows CE test mode like you are proposing.
  21. You are going to have a hard road if you want to custom code anything like that. However I might suggest using the reverse input line. This line is mainly used to trigger the reverse camera input on. You could hook this line up to what ever electrical trigger you are looking to use, enable the auto backup camera input selection feature, and not hook up a backup camera. The screen should be mostly dark then. That or more simply you could just choose the camera input manually and get the same effect.
  22. With regards to album art, it can display art if you use an ipod/iphone but no album art is displayed for USB/SD cards.
  23. I have the same situation. You want it set to power, oterwise you will likely get nothing but static when using HD.
  24. I have done the same. Not the cheapest option, but it was litterally the 4th option I tried. The ipod dock a2dp adapters work well enough. However this is the only option that still lets you keep an Ipod connected and control the a2dp device. For me the added bonus is that I have a hands free systems to use with my personal and work phones.
