shaun Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have an AVIC-90DVD nav unit in my car that is connected to an AVH-P7490DVD system (which has an AVX-P300DVD head unit) via the IP-BUS interface. The AVIC-90DVD is also connected to a constant NAV display screen (which is also non-touch) via the CD-RGB26P unit and then RCA cables. This setup had been working great since it was installed in 2002, but about a week ago my AVIC-90DVD randomly died... and I can't seem to figure out why. The unit is getting power, it just doesn't turn on anymore. I've looked on eBay for replacements, and found one - but it has been upgraded to the 2008 map discs, which mean it is now touch enabled... and, I need a replacement to be remote controllable. Obviously a direct replacement would be my cheapest and easiest option, but since that is the only AVIC-90DVD I have seen, does anyone else have any suggestions for alternatives that will work without touch screens? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks! As long as you have the remote and the non-touchscreen disc you can downgrade a unit with the newer version.

shaun Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks! I bought a used AVIC-90DVD with a broken bezel on ebay for $65! My install has it under the rear seat, so broken bezel is fine by me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
