VBLUE42 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 That is, no doubt, iGo Primo navi software. I am curious if the unit takes that long to boot without the navi module attached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 at the point the head unit has booted, if i am in nav mode, i have to wait for nav to boot. I usually am in receiver mode with music or movie on and never see the boot screen for nav. I had installed the rear view camera the other night but forgot to hook up wire from head unit to reverse to turn it on. When i took the video, i had just pulled unit, connected the reverse wire from head unit to the red wire coming out of the harness of the camera, and so rear view screen works like it should now. I also noticed the green NAVI icon located in top left screen for the first time. U260 manual says wait 10 seconds before hitting mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ah, so how long is boot time when the navi unit isn't connected? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joemamma1954 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 after the initial 10 seconds, everything is ready except for navi, that is another 10 seconds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philfrompa Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 after the initial 10 seconds, everything is ready except for navi, that is another 10 seconds. I know this is an old topic, but I am in the process of installing the avic-u260 and was wondering where you placed the TMC antenna? I also saw somewhere that you do not need to put the GPS antenna on the dash, but you could put it under the dash and it will still work fine as long it is still has sight of the front window.

Multitask Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I just had that installed yesterday, it's working find, but it's cutting out (plug in SD card) as I drive, so I'm going to go back and see if it's just a loose wire. My question for you is , do you have/use Android phone, and if you do, have you been able to get the Navi and the Android Auto to work together (switchable between)? I can get it so that it's either, but not both and I have the right cables from Pioneer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 An update, the 260 has not told me to reinsert the SD card since, and Pioneer only said I should press the reset button on the front of the unit. I haven't done that yet. I will the next time it does it... one thing, I hope the 6/7/8100's boot faster into Navi mode, 10 seconds is not bad, but sometimes I can get out the driveway and down the street before the Navi is ready and it sees the sat signals.

Buck1127 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just got mine installed. I tried to make a back up using a different as card but all I get it can't use maps due to license error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 there is probally a hidden partition or folder that it looks for that is not on the 'backup' I ended up returning the 4100/U260 and got the 8100.... happier camper since. After all, the price was the same... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harrison_Creek Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 What do you like better about the 8100 versus the 4100/u260? I am trying to decided on the 8100, 7100 or 4100/u260 combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Multitask Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Well the screen is much better (duh), the Navi seems to have better definition a far as what you're looking at. I know the 8100 (not sure about 7100) has the 3D buildings, of which is not a huge deal, but kinda neat sometimes... My gripe with the U260 was that because it's seperate it was telling me that I needed to insert the SD card a few times... (that is what it uses to store the maps) I went the 8100 route because the difference in price from the7100 to the 8100 wasn't very much...$75 at the time.. the 7100 is basicly the 4100 with the U260 built in (and hopfully as good of maps as the 8100) it probably doens't help much, but that is what I remember...

Harrison_Creek Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks! I want to be able to run the built in Navi and CarPlay at the same time, which I understand you cannot do with the 4100/u260. In reading some reviews posted Amazon, some reported that dust gets in between two layers of the screen on the 8100. Having never seen an 8100 I am unsure about this. Does this seem possible?

Multitask Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I can sort of see where that could happen... I got a screen protector and hopfull it'll help there... THe only thing that takes over everything is AppRadio, I havn't been able to play my iPod or HD radio when that is going.... I really don't plan to use it much if at all...
