joeda Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi People, Im a new member to this site and would like to start by saying this site is a valuable lifeline!!! I bought a second hand F9210bt and installed in my VW using the supplied loom which includes a can-bus adapter/interface. When purchasing the unit I asked the seller if the unit had video in motion, which it did. The firmware at the time was ver.2. I have no idea whether the Video hack/mod was a hardware one or a software one. Either way the unit is not showing any speed pulse, reverse signal or handbrake signal. I recently installed the ver. 4 firmware and maps, hoping that it would rectify the issue, unfortunatley it hasn't. I cannot find any wiring schematics for the unit and therefore do not know if the wires from the canbus are correct to the unit. Question, if this was originally a software mod, should the update to version 4 have overwritten any soft mods, does the firmware update replace everything, i would assume it may not, as some of your settings preferences are still there. I cannot let this beat me, I would rather have these signals back now, as I can use the safe mode button for video in motion, but at least my Nav would be more accurate and my reverse camera (that I have just spent hours if not days installing!) would work. I would appreciate any help !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lefteris85gr Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have the same problem, Ii own a 2005 VW Golf mk5 and the F930bt unit. I had no problem with the handbrake as i didn't install the wiring at all and it always appear to be ON so i can play video on the move. The problem is i get no speedpulse and no data from the vertical axle of the guroscope sensor. The only thing i know so far, looking at the wiring harness, is that the speed sensor cable (orange colour i think) coming out of the unit leads nowhere to the car. I haven't got the time so far to visit a pioneer dealer but after reading your post i assume that this is a common VW problem. What's interesting is that i owned another pioneer unit previeously which had the SLA feature, (Turning up/down the speaker volume according to speed increase/decrease) and it worked fine. Afterall, i'm guessing that this is a harness incompatibility issue.... I'll post an update as soon as i find any solution... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
