My F500Bt had been working fine - My "IDT Mod" made using it super fun. then it happened. I got some type of a box in the upper right corner of the screen - it read "ATT". It would not go away. Mean while my avic would never get passed the "system startup in progress....." screen. I tried every thing. dozens of resets, tried testmode, tried re-installing the pioneer 3.0 upgrade. nothing worked. It was dead ....lets see, out of warranty, hacked, and bypassed, what would pioneer think if I sent it to them - I couldnt, I had to do something. I started searching the forum.. I combined some hard w

This basic research is for the Modders or anyone who understands the software proccessing. so... IDT, DIAFTIA, STAN, ABB, GURJON, others..... please give your take I went to specific LAt/Lon coordinates for "red light" "speed" and "mobile" camera's. I physically drove through these 3 speedcams several times and got consistent warnings of course. I took the Speedcam spud file from my avic, converted to text, and opened in Excel. I changed the speed in all 3 cases to 35(mph?). Converted back to spud, copied back to avic. The speeds at each of the 3 showed my change to 35mph in the r

the sound is equal to a standard 128 bitrate mp3 - it is good enough. I use an SD card via usb, so DIVX is out of the question. I am using the f500bt, but the .3GP files should work on all F Series.

congratulations...spend as much time as you can with the grand kid..... we bought shoes for my grandkid and his foot was way bigger than the entire shoe.... growing quick and the time is flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'n

little off topic, but does concern the map screen button options. I tend to adjust my screen brightness regularly, can we have a shortcut to the brightness "1 to 10" scale from the map screen? right now its multiple screens and buttons to get there. then again i may be the only one

was it a .3GP file format?

I have tried all kinds of formats with no success. freezups, screen size.... all crappy...... I decided to go from a 16GB SD card down to a 2GB thinking the card size was the issue. the video was still crappy BUT, I happened to have a 10 second video file I made with my blackberry on the sd card. It was a .3GP file. It played perfect. it is not listed in the avic manual, but it is some variation of the MPEG4 which is listed. I now have movies the fill my screen completely and video that plays without freezes or skips. I encode movies using "DVDFab6" using the "dvd to file" option. I

looks great. I blacked out the pioneer on my unit, and got a vehicle specific splash screen. enjoy your factory look installation.

this shouldnt be happening. put the gps antenna outside, on the roof if possible and test for a few hours. Just carefully close the wire in a rarely used door or run it thru a window slightly open. If it does not correct, contact pioneer. One of my cars has the crazy windshield uv heat rejecting stuff...... My F500BT would barely acquire satellites and when it did acquire, it was inaccurate and intermittent - often dropping signal for minutes at a time. I added an external antenna and the problem is gone. The fact that you show signals received means it may require calibration or

you do have some options remember one point. The amplifier is really intended to just amplify the navigation output directions and such. the Music producing capabilities of the units leaves a lot to be desired. You should rely on your base system for that. I use my unit for movies and music, but high fidelity it is not if you intend to have an indash unit pumping a 1000 watts, the thought of it cutting out 1000 watts to tell you to turn left in 1/4 mile and then full 1000 watts back in...whew...or directions given at a loud enough level to be heard over the 1000 watts....double whew!!!
