On the 2010 Honda Odyssey the power wires are connected as instructed with direct-connect harness, per 8200NEX and Maestro SW ADS-MSW manuals.

So the red Accessory wires from the Direct-Connect, 8200NEX, and Maestro connected together. Then the Yellow Direct-Connect 12-volt power to 8200NEX yellow. 

I haven't done the ground separations for this unit/vehicle.

The power wires are connected as instructions would have it. However on the first install of the 8100NEX in the Lexus my GPS maps would flip up and down. So I had to go in and separate the grounds:

-Parking Brake on radio harness to body junction on right side kick panel

- TYTO-1 Black, and Black/White with radio harness Black to metal body on right side

- Maestro SW ADS-MSW Black ground to body junction left side kick panel

Problem solved! Not sure if this is the difference but I haven't had reboots on either Lexus installs.

Curious on a fix for this as I have it happening with an 8200NEX, installed in a 2010 Honda Odyssey. Did the reboot a few times on my wife's trip from Ann Arbor to NY. I have the Maestro SW ADS-MSW connected to this unit. 

For the poster with the Toyota. I've installed the 8100 and 8400NEX's in both my Lexus RX330's with Axxess TYTO-1, and Maestro SW ADS-MSW and haven't had this issue.

I know this is an old thread but just want to confirm that the VSS wire is in fact the yellow wire, pin 17, second plug down. Just installed an AVIC-X940-BT in a 2005 Toyota Highlander 3.3L, and on this particular unit as similar series models the VSS connection aids in eco fuel efficiencies, and accuracy of GPS.

To gain access it’s best to remove the glovebox for proper splicing. To remove push two bushings inward at the sides and pull forward, then unscrew softclose wire behind the glovebox on the right, lastly remove two black plastic pushpins along the hinge using needle nose pliers. Glovebox comes completely out to expose the ECM. 

Oh yeah, if you haven’t it’s a good time to change the carbon filter that sits behind the glovebox. ; ^ )

So I contacted Pioneer and was instructed to give the unit a reset by holding mode, and left track button on start-up. I tried the reset option first with no improvement, then was told to try clear user-settings option, where neither did not even reset the sound settings. I was told if this option did not correct things that I should most likely send it in for a flat fee, north of $100. 

Thanks Ron S.  So here's what it's doing...  When I tried pressing the volume knob after entering a destination it gave a voice prompt for the distance to the next turn, but nothing else. I've tried resetting and going into the menu settings with no change.  The in-route arrow does not follow the plotted course.  Nor am I given an ETA, arrow indication on upcoming exits/turns. Also the street I'm traveling isn't indicated at the bottom.   

Unfortunately I'm still without turn-by-turn functions and street indicators for this unit. However all radio, blue-tooth, I-device connections, phone, etc. work properly, it's just simply problematic in the GPS/map functions. Would like to get this unit working properly as I have upcoming travels. Any advice is appreciated. 

Got the Testmode going, entered User option to find PRG0 and PRG1, didn't see a /USER/PRG.FLG file so where do I go from here? 

Thanks for your help RonS... Finally had a little time to get back to this but unfortunately I haven't been able to get into Testmode to access those files, using hold on home, then previous, forward, previous, forward, previous, forward. As of now if I input a destination it will briefly indicate an eta, as well as green route outline, but no short-distance indicator screen, or voice directives. Coincidentally I've since installed an X920-BT in another vehicle that works perfectly so now I'm even more stumped!

Ok, so would it be correct to point to the firmware being the issue? And if so how do I go back to older/default versions?

Settings are all correct... Voice, volume, regional, still nothing until end of route.

Yes it would re-route as designed once I deviated from the calculated path. Honestly (sheepishly)I didn't know the 6.0 was available at the time I picked up the 5.0 : ^ (

Tried battery disconnect but still no voice navigation or map re-routing when off course.

Will give it a try and report back.

So I updated the unit to 5.00 and now the unit doesn't give turn by turn voice navigation commands. Map shows direction but if I go of course it doesn't re-route, and when I get to my destination I finally get a command saying "You have arrived at your destination". Tried resetting with "mode" and "reverse track" button press but still no go.

Hi,

Not sure what the EU in your title is for, but I have the backup for this.

Once my destination is entered my maps roams and changes streets when at a standstill. This doesn't happen as much so on expressways but especially so in downtown areas. Anyone have an idea of whats the problem? 

Sounds great! What model is it that you used? 

I know it's been a while since this post but if you still have the 3.1 software for the X910BT I could surely use it.  My unit restarts when connected to I-phone bluetooth, and need the maps for the three units that I have.

Try these: 3, max, 3, 2, 4, 4, max, 5. You can smooth out the treble if drums/cymbols are too harsh by decreasing the last setting.

Agreed on Pioneer dragging a$$ to at least keep the units relevant with support and constant changes. I have 4 AVIC's (2 F900BT's, 2 X910BT's) and upgrades can be frustrating especially when Pioneer releases official software at $100+ and only one use per unit! Don't get me wrong I do like them but you would not think an electronic giant like Pioneer to release a product and drop the ball i.e., support, dated software, and incompatibility with HD radio and XM modules.

However my wife contacted Apple that said they had no knowledge of the current problems. To leave a description of the problems at Apple.com/feedback so their techs can find a solution. So maybe with enough feedback from users they'll fix the problem.

Ok, so I got in touch with Pioneer today. There was no issue as far as sending the unit in for password retrieval. But as far as the IOS5 software issues go they have received several complaints and suggest for me to take it up with Apple. Hopefully Apple fixes this in the software, but I hope this doesn't mean Pioneer is leaving previous model owners in the cold. This file from the previous post:

-With regards to the current in-dash navigation models, AVIC-X930BT and AVIC-Z130BT, all are certified to support iPhone and work with IOS 5.

Yeah I'm using the iPhone 4S with the iOS 5 too, and can't get video with my F900-BT or my X910-BT. I'm sending a 900-BT in for password retrieval on Monday so I'll ask about this issue then.

Will this procedure work in my case of having a F900-BT and no password?

Same here I'm stuck with the splash screen and need the backup file or a solution for my X910.

I just picked up an AVIC-X910BT that came with the map upgrade 3.0 software (SD's A& that Pioneer sells. I also have two other units in different vehicles F900BT, and another X910BT. Both have the video bypass mods. but could use the new map software. My questions are can I use the software on more than one unit, and if so will it kick out my bypass mod.?
