  1. Look in the hack & mod section, they are in and work well - at least it does for me.
  2. Got mine today. Small physical change - large improvement in usability. Thanks for making the product available to the community.
  3. I know there was a delay on the black ones - have they come in/gone out? Dumb posting, guess I just need to be patient.
  4. The bypass won't corrupt the software, but if you use the device while moving and get in an accident, then the installer and the company could become liable for damages. Given the amount of people that sue in the USA, I'd think twice myself if I was an installer...and then probably not do it.
  5. I'll take a shot. 1. I found the female portion of the pin had spread some for me. I had to pull the pin back out, gently squeeze it a bit tighter and reinstall. 2. Possibly some data signal in the vehicle. In a previous car I had OEM wiring running down both front door channels. Noise (but not alternator whine) running down driver's door, no noise running down passenger side door. 3. Really NO clue. I don't use it as my vehicle had it already built in. But did any signal power or ground wires differ from TV test to 930 test (other than leads to TV vice same leads to 930)? Just
  6. Do you have one of the vehicles that has a metal film in the windshield? GPS can't see through them. Put the GPS puck outside the vehicle attached to a metal base (hood, roof, etc.), park with no roof or garage over you, and give the device maybe 10 minutes for the initialization to take. If it doesn't work then you have a bad GPS puck, bad wiring, or bad head unit.
  7. 1st re-check that the sub is "ON" in the head unit. 2nd check the gain on the amp. 3rd, I don't understand how you went from the sub RCA cables to speaker inputs on the amp. Do you mean you went to the RCA inputs of the amp, or that you went to speaker level inputs on the amp? If the latter, then that may well the amp is expecting a much larger signal. Run RCA to RCA. You could try moving the SWR/SWL RCA cables over to the rear speaker output RCA cables (make sure the sound isn't faded all the way forward) - if it works then it's in the head unit, if it doesn't then you still ha
  8. It's been a while since I installed mine, but IIRC there are cables from Pioneer that come off the unit for power, front/rear speakers, etc. However, for the sub-woofer you have to run RCA cables all the way to plug directly into the unit - if you have the install manual they are labeled SWR and SWL (for sub-woofer left and sub-woofer right),
  9. Nothing special about connecting, set the phone first to pair, then the unit and they found each other - pretty mindless actually. Sorry my Internet friend.
  10. It sounds like a poor or perhaps wrong connection somewhere, presumably in the ground or in the constant power line. What kind of vehicle, perhaps that might help. I'm wondering if there is anything that can stay alive for a few days, then lose power in a sort of sleep mode - these days the brains in a car do "thinking" for us that I would prefer they didn't. I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S (Vibrant) and it works like a champ. I use steering wheel controls for volume, but not bluetooth - if you do that would be a connection to check. Best of luck, intermittent problems are absolutely t
  11. AFAIK, or remember anyway, there is only one place the plug will fit. If looking at the rear of the unit, it is about middle vertically, almost all the way over on the left side.
  12. As long as the dash panel above it isn't metal, no problem.
  13. I have the GPS antenna to the side of the unit, but under the dash panel. In my case the dash panel is a thick vinyl (or whatever), which is pretty much transparent at the frequencies for which GPS operates, as is the glass windscreen unless there is a metal coating on/embedded in the glass.
  14. Can't speak to the model you are asking about, but my iPod touch turns on/off with the unit. Also the Pioneer uses the digital to analog processing inside the iPod to produce sound, but uses the digital to analog processing inside the X930 for am SD or USB stick. Have no idea which one does the more accurate conversion.
