msb122us Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi, I was googling around for troubleshooting and I just found this forum. I have installed headunits before but this is my first Pioneer Navigation unit. I was able to successfully install and powerup my new avic but I have an odd issue after I turn it on. I can't modify any of the setting for the unit (like when I click on settings the boxes are all faded grey and I can't push them). I can modify the top 2 on right (AV settings and another one I can't remember). However, the bluetooth settings, navigation settings, security settings, etc...) are all greyed out and not usable. Also, the ilumination color of the buttons keeps changing (it goes through a rotation of colors while it on). I tried doing a reset (hitting the mode button and back track buttons) and I was able to get to the intial setup again when it tells me to select the language. However, all the languages selections are grey on that and I can only select OK for a few questions and then I'm back to home screen again. Keep in mind, I can use the radio and and Ipod function as normal. It just seems like the headunit is locked in some way. I haven't put a password on it yet so it can't be that and I am running out of any ideas. Has anyone ever experienced this before and if so can you tell me how to fix this? Thanks.

msb122us Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 wow, I just realized the parking break has to be on to be able to modify settings. Easier fix than I thought (but also a pain since my kenmore didn't do that). Thanks to anyone who tried to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
