bimmer88 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I had the same problem... seem to of started after i updated the software on my ipod for some reason... it just started two days ago... i had software 2.0... it didn't do this when i had my key in the low voltage position in the ignition but once i turned it to on and started the car, the screen would just go blank and give me that message... what i did was just update the software to 2.008 and it fixed the problem... no longer does it...

The second issue you are seeing is because the back up camera polarity is switched so that the unit thinks your vehicle is in reverse instead of park or drive. All you need to do is pull your parking brake and put your vehicle in reverse and the screen should appear normal. Then access the settings of the unit and switch the back up camera battery polarity from what it is set to right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 So is it fixed or not? What problem are you having? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I already told you what to do about that. Connect the parking brake wire and pull the brake or perform the bypass on the unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
