gmiyahira Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I got my F900BT 4 months ago and it was working fine until last week when the VR stopped working. I would press the main joystick to activate the VR and the system would freeze for a minute, then it would recover. Then the radio or ipod would permanently mute, except for the tones when navigating the menus. To clear the system, I would have to manual reboot. I noticed this problem after the MSN Direct free demo expired. I think that the VR software in the system is damaged, because everything else is working. Any ideas?

gmiyahira Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Could this be a hardware or software problem?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
another gsxr 1k Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sounds like a software issue. You could try restoring a backup copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
musiclegend14 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 i am also having the same exact problem...except my system doesnt freeze just the song display in the bottom right hand corner goes away until i get out of the map then back into it. Â but everything else is the same...the audio muting except for the beeps when you press a button until i restart my car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmiyahira Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Where can I get a backup copy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xxsrt4xX Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I too have this same problem with the VR. Also my SD stopped working. The unit recognizes that the SD is there, just doesn't show any files, yet my phone and pc can see and access the files. Let us know if you also have an issue with the SD.

Ballinnnn24 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I got the same problem too but when i press the button all i hear is a weird beep sound...but everything else works knock on wood! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xxsrt4xX Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 So should we just reflash with the 2.0 update then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
minifreezer Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 So should we just reflash with the 2.0 update then? That what i would try. If you do not know how to reflash the 2.0 firmware in the hack and mod section someone wrote a how to on it. Goodluck guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
musiclegend14 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 do you have a link to the guide? Â i cant find it with the search Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xxsrt4xX Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Well no joy. Tried performing update, but since my SD stopped recognizing songs / vids, it wouldn't even begin the update process. Tried multiple times, but to no avail. Used the reset button as well, but with no help. Is there a way, other than pressing reset, to do a full factory "hard" reset to restore unit to factory settings? This maybe the only way to do it short of sending unit back to Pioneer and asking for a replacement D3 instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmiyahira Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I want to try reinstalling the 2.0 update but I'm worried about voiding and warrenty. I purchased the F900BT thru Crutchfield with an extended warrenty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xxsrt4xX Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 So I guess no fix? If not, all I have to say is, I HATE WINDOWS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chargedtaco01 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Has anyone been able to solve this problem? I've got the same exact issue. Press the volume knob to activate VR and you get nothing...all sound from the HU is gone but you can still navigate your way through the system and you still hear the confirmation beeps.

starxidiam Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I am having the EXACT same problem. It's very frustrating. Any fixes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
