  1. Just checking in to say that the screen still works flawlessly. So well I'm considering selling the unit.
  2. Fixed the link...man I haven't been to this forum in a long long time...I wonder what's new.
  3. Oh and does anyone want the scratched touchscreen before I throw it away.
  4. So you've scratched your touchscreen somehow. Or maybe you busted the actual screen itself. That sucks, but for $58 and 2 hours you can fix it. I managed to fix mine and produced this set of pictures to hopefully help other people out. I found my replacement parts here: <!-- m -->http://www.pacparts.com/model.cfm?model ... N=97088728<!-- m --> Here are all the pictures:
  5. Thanks for the reply. I did think about the signal amplifier/converter solution. But I guess if you tried it already I'll skip it. So, in your search for the answer, did you make sure that the ground on the RCA cable had continuity with an actual ground on the other end? I am running almost the latest software. It's the one that you buy on the SD cards (IIRC it's 3.0). Currently I'm not even running any mods.
  6. I'll hook a multimeter up to it. Maybe check the ground on the RCA cable with a working input device working and then with the non-working one. I'm not sure what I should be looking for though...I'll ask some audio guys and see what they say. That or quit messing with it and get another monitor like you did. I hate giving up and wasting $100 though.
  7. I tested my theory of powering devices from the car. I plugged in a portable dvd player and it powered it from the cig lighter and it worked just fine. I also called the pioneer help line, but they didn't have any suggestions. In fact, the tech thought it was weird and figured that if anything I should get no picture, but not the freezing.
  8. I'm going to bump this in the hopes that someone found an answer. I am having a similar issue. I have a video device (OBDII engine monitor thing) that I'd like to plug into AV1 or the reverse camera input. But the system freezes and only shows the first frame of the input if I plug it in. The weird thing is that I have another device that works with both inputs. The common thread I see here is this: Input sources that get power and ground from the car cause the system to freeze (the bluetooth thing, the video game system, and my obdII thing). Input sources that don't get power and
  9. So, I'm using the reverse camera input as an input for a device that outputs engine parameters to an RCA connection. I am doing this so I can see the parameters while still listening to my music, radio, etc. While I am testing this I don't have anything hooked up to the reverse signal wire, I have just enabled it in the menu and selected it. What I get is a screen that only refreshes every 20 seconds or so. I know that the device outputs a proper signal and I know that it gets interrupted and stops sending a signal every once in a while (i tested it on an external monitor that shows
  10. So I finally got 30 minutes to start testing things out (3 mo old son, so no much time for tinkering). The device seems to work, but I only get a frozen screen, it doesn't seem to update. Now, this could be a problem with the device that is putting things to the screen, but if it isn't what could be causing the issue. I'm going to try other inputs, other cables, other input sources, other output sources, etc. to see if I can get it to work.
  11. Thanks for clearing that up. Now for the last piece of the puzzle. I think I lost the extension to the reverse detecting wire. Does anyone know the specs on the fuse it uses?
  12. Ok, one more question on this. The setup screen for the reverse camera has an option for positive or negative polarity. I'm guessing that is just what lead coming off the switch I tap into right?
  13. So, I figured out a way to do this. Not really using AV2, but the same concept. Use the rear view camera input!!! 1) Hook up an RCA connection to the ECU data device and hook the other end in where you would hook up the reverse camera (Brown RCA connector). 2) Wire up a toggle switch to the reverse wire (the wire that tells the system to automatically switch to the reverse camera when you are in the reverse gear). This post talks about it but i'm still not 100% on how it should be wired up: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23404&p=158281&hilit=rear+view#p158281 . It should be
  14. I did the 3.0 install on my commute one day last week. (yes I commute a long way). I did it over the CMH mods and it works fine.
  15. Here's the situation. I am in the process of getting and possibly building a device that hooks into my car's ECU and displays information via a standard rca video signal (think HKS CAMP II and you are close enough). I'd like to be able to use this while listening to my music. Is this possible? Is it very difficult? Also, could I mess with the UI so that there is a button in the lower left corner one every UI "page" that toggles this on/off?
