There's an option called "trim" .. its auto fits the picture to fully fit the screen.

Wish I could help you buddy, my firmware update went good and no problems. It is very sensitive process.

To be honest I think its a goner. You can try and dry it with rice, but I truly think its gone. You might as well get the 8400 series. But first you need to fix the leak or buying a new unit wont do any good for long term.

Seems so. Glad I got lucky.

Works fine for me. The 8400 is an amazing unit, you just got stuck with a dud.

My 8400 just auto fits it to full screen no matter what size it is.

deleted. fixed.

Was it not a detachable face ?

Are you retarded ?? 1st of all, the glove compartment is way safer than the obvious under the seat, you have to be a complete moron to put it under the seat. The glove compartment is under a lock and key and you cant break into it, you can just snap the handle off but you wont be able to open it. Under the seat, wow you are such a fool. And who carries it around ?? I take it home or bring it in with me inside a friends house or whatever, and if its a night out glove compartment. Ipad ? lol you idiot, Ipad size is like 5 times this screen.

If you stick your detachable face under the drivers seat you are a brain dead moron and deserve it to be stolen from you. I take it with me, and it also depends on the area, if its a good area I just hide it in the glove compartment and lock it.

Just $50 ? you gotta be joking, that feature alone adds $100-$150 to units value as you have a safety feature that most units don't.

Yea no shit who uses CDs anymore ?? CDs are dead, I can fit 10,000 songs with album artwork and info on a 16gb USB drive ... while you can fit 12 song with nothing on a CD. Seriously, get with the times.

Its not a pain in the ass to remove or refit the face plate ... you're OBVIOUSLY doing it wrong. Takes me a second to take it off and put it on without any issues whatsoever. Learn how to use the unit before you break it. Seriously kid. I had this unit for a year and not ONE issue. Its not the unit its the OWNER.

Hey man thanks for taking the time to research this, I had no luck. But you are right, what you said did help me a lot. Artwork that didn't show before showing now. Good job man.

No they are not the same. Cheaper models most have crappier resolution and less features like no BT, USB and such. Im very happy with my AVH8400.

8500BHS is pretty much a twin of 8400BH. Theres almost no difference at all. Yes I did extensive research.

Listen kid we get it you are a pioneer hater. Bottom line this unit shits all over any other unit out there from Alpine to Kenwood to JVC. I have no issues with this unit at all, NONE. I love this unit, it is simply amazing. Sucks for you you got a lemon and now you are sore about it. Listen, why dont you just f off out of here if you are so anti pioneer. You loser.

I think most dont. I know I dont.

Im still trying to figure this out. Its so f'in weird. A song that I stream via USB cable from my phone shows the artwork, yet the same song, the same file does NOT show the SAME artwork if I play from a USB. Some artwork shows up from USB, some doesnt. Streaming from the phone via USB shows ALL artwork.

Updated succesfuly.

Wow reading these makes me thankful that the update went succesfully and having BT functionallity back. I dont feel like removing my headunit and shipping it out. Any of you tried resetting the headunit ?

I updated tonight, and it went right the first time. I followed step by step and now I got all my BT functionality back. Try resetting the unit and clearing the BT memory.

I dont use SD cards, I use USB and I have no issues at all, even art work is showing. I really, do not encounter any issues with my unit, I love it.

What bugs ? aside from apple fucking up the bluetooth ? I have none.

The fact that we cant update the unit via USB/SD card is atrocious. I mean seriously, world class company pulling such bullshit.
