I have spent some time with this today, i found if i unlink the aspect ratio of the image i can size length and width independant of each other. To fill my F700 screen i need 780 x 480, which depending on image used works well or NOT. I'm very new to this so i don't really understand the techniques of resizing these images correctly Thought this might help

I have this same problem, could someone who knows what we are doing wrong please help us?

Hey Tail24, no problem. I appreciate your help I may not have done this if u hadn't responded with your input. Thanks man

I'm back Good news, repair made, unit back in car and functioning as it should About 1 to 1-1/2 hour job including removing and replacing unit in car I'm very happy!!!! Thanks to everyone who helped me, i couldn't have done it without your help The pioneer cable made it very easy, hardest part was getting end of cable into unit because it had the connector on the end Requires further disassembly than i thought, i managed to loosen screws on back of unit and create a gap between back and side panels and fish the wire thru. This saved further disassembly this is not a hard thing to do

Well i received the usb cable i ordered from pioneer today What do you know, it has the plug that plugs into circuit board inside head unit I'm glad to see that The cable was priced about the same as a cable with just loose end, but by the time they tack on their over the top shipping and handling charges its pricey Anyway i thought i should let you know in case anyone else wants to go this route. I'll post my results once i install it, hope to this week end

I found the actual pioneer part, part number CDE8561 at pioneerparts.com. The pic seems to show a connector on the end that goes into the unit, but who knows how accurate the pic is. I ordered this part, so we shall see.Thanks for your input Tail24, i was wondering how far i would have to get into unit to swap cable out. Looking at service manual i was hoping i wouldn't have to go too far. I really appreciate everyones input, it is very helpful

Thanks for your help, i downloaded the manual and found the usb cable at PacParts.com for $27.95. It appears I'll have to reuse whatever plug is used on circuit board inside unit as cable just has loose ends. If anyone is aware of a cable that would just be a direct plug in to circuit board, please let me know. DougG thanks again for your help, its nice to have a resource like this site to help the less informed like myself. I really do appreciate your response

Hi: I'm a new member, who bought a used F700bt and i have discovered that the usb input is missing. I didn't even notice this when i looked at the unit to buy it as i had no previous knowledge of these units. I was honestly overwhelmed by all the wiring and plugs and didn't see it. After having installed the unit myself in my honda civic everything is working with the exception of the usb input of course, which i would like to repair. Has anyone done this? Is the repair something a capable, sensible person could do on his own? I didn't want to dive in without asking first, but i'm the ki
