  1. My original link is back to working: http://www.1radpc.com/private/FX3.1.rar Sorry, I've been absent. Download away! Waaay faster than the torrent!
  2. I'm a current owner of an AVIC F900BT and I'm planning on upgrading to the NEX-4100. I currently have a backup camera, Sirius, GPS, and microphone all routed through my car somehow, along with the Peripheral box to keep my steering wheel controls. What can I keep in place and re-use in the NEX4100, if anything?
  3. I'm back, if anyone needs anything updated here.
  4. After testing different solutions over the past 3 years, I recommend the BlueAnt Ribbon... it plugs into the front of the unit in the 3.5mm jack by default, but if you have a 3.5mm-to-RCA cable, you can plug it into the auxilary line-in in the back and rout the cable into your center console... they are $38 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/BlueAnt-Ribbon-Bluetooth-Streamer--Headset/dp/B009F4XM48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428406019&sr=8-1&keywords=blueant+ribbon You will want to plug in the charging cable into the USB port... if you have an ipod already plugged into it, then y
  5. Try upgrading the big 3 instead of re-routing your aftermarket system cables.
  6. THE pico fuse in my F900BT blew and I completed the circuit using a 1A Glass fuse. That fuse then blew, so I just completed the circuit unfused. Shortly thereafter, the sound started fading in and out (for my fronts and rears). Then eventually, the sound just cut out all together from my 4-Channel amp. The Subs still hit normally. Is this an issue with my 4-ch amp, or the headunit? I'm beginning to suspect my 4-Ch amp dying was the cause of the pico fuse and glass fuses blowing. I'd like to get this fixed before my road trip in two weeks. Any suggestions?
  7. That sounds like alternator whine. Make sure your head unit is grounded properly to the chassis (rather than the default radio ground, as this usually isn't enough for pioneer units). Also make sure you sanded the paint off the area where you grounded your amplifier. Are you using the amp to power your fronts/rears or subs?
  8. My pico fuse blew 3 weeks after getting my unit in. I completed the circuit using an in-line glass fuse holder that I soldered to the points and secured the holder outside. I loaded it with a 1A slow-blow glass fuse. This fuse blew about 3 days after it was installed. I then completed the circuit using a spring in place of a glass fuse. Screw these pico fuses. Anybody else had this problem? I know mine's probably related to poor grounding of my 2 amplifiers, but c'mon! These fuses shouldn't even be implimented!
  9. Bump, added a link to the parking brake bypass instructional thread (original), and the updated one with pictures.
  10. Bump, added links with better HOW-TO's for bypassing blown Pico fuses (the fuse on my F900BT decided to go out today... will be soldering it back tomorrow, it's currently in pieces awaiting my magic touch).
  11. Bump, added custom background Q/A... if anyone can give me the 1:1 dimensions for the other units, I'll add them to the list. Thanks.
  12. When selecting a song from my ipod, it plays, but if say I've gone through: Artist -> All -> Song Title ... can i go back a step to "all" or do I have to start over again?
  13. If someone can find me the EU maps through either torrent or other source, I'll be more than happy to host them through my webhost...
  14. must be nice... takes about 30 minutes to take apart my dash to a workable state... I'll do it today so I can slide in the plastic double-din brackets I got for my dash kit... ugh...
  15. Nice. This is going to be my first nav install, also. First double-din, really. I've done several head units, subs, amplified fronts, wire running, and all that jazz before, so I'm hoping mine goes smoothly as well. What kind of kinks are you running into?
  16. I believe it's Windows CE v5, though I'm new to the units myself.
  17. Yes, sometimes there are more than one pico fuse. Usually they will all be labled the same on the circuit board (FU####). Rather than bypassing protection, a post on DIY Mobile Audio forums suggested running leads though the back of the unit and wiring in a 1A fuse that you can replace should it blow again. Keep the protection and the ability to change out a blown fuse in the future. Source Link: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/469640-post156.html
  18. Thanks for the quick reply, Jason. I'll be adding to this FAQ as I read more on the forums, but it's good to know the Admin participates in his forum.
  19. Agreed. I've seen this issue on an Alpine headunit. If your amplifier has high level inputs as well as RCA inputs, you can just run the front speaker wires coming out of your 700BT directly to the amp. If your amp doesn't have high level inputs (most don't), then a workaround would be to hook up a Line Output Converter to the 700BT's front speaker wires out, then connect the RCA's to the LOC's RCA jacks and run them to your amp. Click HERE for some examples of LOCs, though when purchasing a product, I highly recommend checking out http://www.caraudiocraze.com and e-mailing Trent (the owne
  20. File now hosted on my web host... please seed it after you've downloaded it, I don't want to host it up there forever... http://www.1radpc.com/private/FX3.1.rar Right-Click, Save As, pick a location, save it...
  21. UPDATED 05/24/2011 New AVIC F-Series Owner FAQ Note: I'm compiling this FAQ because I myself am a new owner and want to accumulate the data for my own questions in one place. Q01.) What are some software-related issues or complaints I should be aware of as a new owner? A.) AVIC411 members with units running firmware prior to 2.00 have reported the unit to be extremely slow. If you feel your unit's responsiveness is slow, check your firmware version. Main Menu -> System Settings -> Version Information, Look at "Application Version". For Firmware update information, see Q07 throu
  22. I'm uploading the torrent I downloaded in less than 30 minutes TODAY... to my webhost... so you guys can stop griping about there not being any working links Oh yea hey, I'm new to the forums, just bought a used F900BT off eBay from a seller with 40,000+ sales and a 97%+ Feedback rating... I'll continue this intro elsewhere, and I'll post a working LINK when the upload finishes.
