App Mode with IOS 5.1 and Ipod Touch 3rd Generation
Steveomatic replied to Steveomatic's topic in Problems/Troubleshooting
Thanks for all the replies, you guys are awesome! How about some help here. -
HI, I am using an Avic-Z140BH with my Ipod Touch 3rd Generation. It has IOS 5.1.1. I am able to listen to my music as an accessory when plugged in but I cannot access App Mode. I have the "AppRadio" app installed and the "Car Media Player" App installed. When I press the app mode button on my Avic it appears to do everything correctly but nothing shows up on the screen. Am I doing something wrong or is IOS 5.1.1 not compatible with my AVIC? Please help. Thanks, Steve

Hi, I have a Z140bh. I know the max SD size is a 16gb card. Does anyone know what the size limitation is on a USB flash drive? I have a 64gb flash drive that has around 59gb of music on it. When I put it in the AVIC I am only seeing a small portion of my music folders. Is this because of a size limitation? Thanks, Steve

Please help with bypass after install is complete
Steveomatic replied to Steveomatic's topic in Hacks/Mods
All good. Made the connections correctly and I am up and running, thanks. Luckily I barely had to pull the head unit out to reach everything. -
I had my X850BT professionally installed. They would not do the parking break bypass. I don't want to watch DVD's while driving I want to scroll my SD folders and use full navigation controls. I decided after doing much research that I would put it on a switch (toggle) to turn on and off. Keep in mind that this was already installed so I did not want to pull my head unit. I took the green parking break wire going from the head unit to the parking break and I unhooked it from the parking break and attached it to the toggle and I grounded the other pin on the togge to the chassis. It works p

Please help with bypass after install is complete
Steveomatic replied to Steveomatic's topic in Hacks/Mods
Thak you for the replies. My last question is since I already insalled this I prefer to use the switch. I did try to just take the parking break green wire directly to ground by the parking break. This works until I start driving over 10-15 mph. If I do the switch (toggle) do I simply put the green parking break wire and the ground to the switch? Can the ground be coming directly from the chasis or does it have to be a ground on the radio harness? Why will the toggle work but not just grounding it. What is the differene? Thanks so much for all your help! -

VBLUE42, Thanks for the reply. I saw an old post about mofifying an .ini setiing and uploading that to the head unit. Does that still apply to the Avic-X850bt? If I ground the parking break wire from the HU at the parking break and then do this .ini trick will that work? Thanks, Steve -
Hi, This forum looks great and I plan on being a contributing member. I have a question. I have an Avic-x850bt that was professionally installed in my 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata. I want to perform the Parking Break Bypass but I am hoping that I do not have to remove the HU to make it happen. The green wire has been secured to the parking break. Is there a way to simply remove this from the parking break and somehow perform the bypass without removing the HU? Thank you for all suggestions and feedback. Steve
