  1. It's been a while since I've been on the forum, having an older Pioneer and now I have an '04 Range Rover that I had the AppRadio 2 installed. Generally, I really like the install - except for two items. 1) The original installer put a switch in for the by-pass (which has now come off the wire). I'd like to have the PAC TR-7 setup done. 2) The radio antenna for a RR is not the same as a standard antenna plug. I have purchase the adapter (and will get the extension wire) to have the crappy antenna the original installer added replaced. I was not happy with the installer (Hyper
  2. I literally picked up my truck yesterdat at 5p with the AppRadio2 and overall I love it. However, as most have seen, there are a few issues here and there. So, I read the "hot" topics, especially "AppRadio Extensions 2.0 Beta - Full iPhone control" and "Jailbreak Appradio / Appradio Plus" and frankly, I am truly lost. I see that I can/should update the firmware, which I can do this weekend or next week. I have the iPhone4s with latest iOS. Reading these two threads I read, "I should jailbreak my iPhone and install Mike's AppRadio Ext. This will effectively make my AR2 an iPhone once se
  3. On Amazon, the CD-IU230V description says: "Pioneer CD-IU230V Ipod Audio/Video Direct Cable For Avic-F900Bt & Avic-F700Bt by Pioneer" This may have been what confused me in the beginning. This cable is the same cable for the X910BT? Thanks
  4. Excellent information and help! (Sometimes one can feel really ignorant!)
  5. Thanks, 1loud1s. I really appreciate the help, as I haven't had such a high-tech, fancy HU! I will try to find the AV1 setting today and see if I can at least get that far! I hope to get the new cable this week or by next week, depending on Amazon's shipping. To plug in the video connections I'm guessing I need to pull the HU out. Is there a special tool for that or??? Thanks again.
  6. I went back to Amazon to see if the cable I received was the "CD-IU230V" cable. Based on the Amazon photos and number the cable is a CD-IU50V cable. I realize the forum says the x910bt needs the IU230 cable, so it looks like I'll return it and have it replaced with the iu230. I'm only interested in the audio, not the video. But in any case, the IU230 has the video connections. Do these need to be connected to use the audio? I suppose these connections are on the back of the head? (I purchased the truck used and the x910bt was already installed by Best Buy.) Thanks again
  7. So I received my Pioneer cable from Amazon today. When I look at the AV Source screen on the X910BT I only have FM/AM/XM highlighted. I went through several tries (plug in Pioneer cable to head/USB first, then phone; plug cable into phone then head/USB; plug in the phone before the truck is on; plug in the phone after the truck is on) and I never have any of the other options highlighted. When I plug the iPhone into the USB cable of the head it does receive power. The manual seems to indicate that I should have more highlighted, at least when it something (iPhone) is plugged into the
  8. Thanks, VBLUE. Yes, I missed that it did not work for the X910BT. I will look for the Pioneer cable. LarryB
  9. Yes, I'm a Noobie. I purchased a used truck (03 Excursion/7.3d/Eddie Bauer) that had the X910T already installed. I downloaded the user manual and have actually *used* it. Overall, I really like this system (as I expect most on this forum do) and it's amazing what all it can do. My iPhone4 connected right up with the BT and it works great. I tried to upload the contacts and ran into the 1,000 number limit (as documented by VBLUE42), so I'll just use the phone. I have three questions: 1) I have the message "System detected improper connection of Parking Brake". I assume this r
  10. How about changing the map legend so that it actually makes some sense. Even after reading the manual my wife and I couldn't figure out how it works. LarryB
