sleightofhand Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I was wondering if anyone had any idea why my illumination setting keeps getting lost when i turn my car off? Half the time it starts where i set it and half it does the demo color change. I also lose my custom color settings memory. Eq and all the other settings including my splash screen are fine. Tried search but couldn't find help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newman Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 If you do a custom Illumicolor setting make sure to press (and hold i think) one of the Memory buttons to save that custom color. This may not be the answer to your problem but give it a try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerds 2 You Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I would suspect a fault with the constant power going to the AVIC. It may be a loose connection or possibly an internal fault with the AVIC. I would start by checking the constant power wire to make sure it is connected securely, and to make sure it has +12 every time you turn the car off. If the constant power supply is fine then the fault may be with the AVIC internally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newman Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 If other settings are not being lost it doesnt sound like it is losing power. are you noticing your radio presets are also being lost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerds 2 You Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Right you are. I misread the post and thought he said he was losing all the other settings, DOH! I'll have to read more carefully next time. Maybe try setting the color using AVIC Feeds software? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sleightofhand: did you find a way to keep your setting? does pressing memory longer works, like someone suggested? Any more ideas guys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newman Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 After commenting on this post a year ago I now find myself with the same problem. I updated my X910 to the 3.0102 firmware last week and ever since then it will not save my custom illumicolor settings. if i create a custom color and save it to memory 1 2 or 3, it will hold it for the timebeing but will revert back to "SCAN" when the car is powered down. however, if i choose one of the pre-set colors like RED, BLUE, GREEN...etc... it will keep that color forever as it should. nothing changed except for the 3.0102 update. i am not losing any other info associated with a loss of power (i.e. radio presets). anyone else having this issue?
