A new problem with the 900bt

[SCprez]

so i have a avic-f900bt and just updated it with the 2.06 firmware.

before i attempted this i had a problem with the GPS resetting my unit while i was in motion.

 

So i figured the firmware would help.

 

WRONG

 

not only is the gps not working now my volume knob doesn't control any volume. it allows me to skip tracks, voice command, and all othe functions with the knob. But the volume is out of the question.

 

So any ideas on why these units are turning into such garbage and no one can fix them

 

Disappointed in pioneer i am. i remember using there units for years and not having any problems. now i use it for a few months and its garbage.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated before i lose my mind

dude, i totally agree about 'garbage' situation. i'm puzzled at why they can't make a unit that would simply work. amount of problems posted on this forum alone is just staggering, anything you can imagine.

 

probably will never buy a deck from them. will do more research next time on reliability issues.

well i figured my volume problem. when i took unit apart to check connections i hit a switch and now that's fine. but my GPS portion of it still still garbage

ok so i got my GPS to work. i just flashed it using firmware 3.o which i downloaded from this site and i changed the speed limit for the parking brake to 128 in the pioneer_ini file.

 

Now when i hit the expressway it gives me the warning that something wasnt properly connected but once you hit ok its does nothing to effect your radio or the navigation.

 

This should help out

Have you heard the saying "Garbage in, Garbage out". It doesn't appear the Pioneer produces Garbage, it appears that they make a product that people turn into garbage....
