  1. I'm pretty sure SD video will not play on rear monitors. Only DVD/Divx, iPod and AV2 will play on the rear monitors. Just burn your videos to a DVD, they will work, and DVD can handle a higher bandwidth, so you can play higher quality videos. There are a handful of threads that address what can and cannot be played in the rear seats, and the limitations of the various codecs and source (DVD vs iPod vs SD).
  2. I updated all the way up to 3.11 and don't notice any difference, yet.
  3. I'm able to get the scrolling wheel to work in SIRIUS (don't have XM), in HD AM/FM and in iPod (with shuffle turned off only) in my 110->120 updated unit. It does not work very well, though, as you have to become accustomed to hitiing it "just right" in order for the unit to differentiate between a selection and a "grab and drag/spin/scroll." One thing that stinks is that station art and station ID are supported on XM and built-in analog AM/FM respectively, but not for SIRIUS and HD AM/FM, which means I only have "preset x" displayed for each preset.
  4. I just did my update along with both BT firmwares. Everything went fine. So far I'm not impressed by the new interface's performance. I'm not sure if the touchscreen is up to the whole grab and spin motion. For the 10 minutes I played with it, 90% of the time it took my grabs for selects, and instead of letting me spin/scroll, it would select the item nearest to where I "grabbed" and slid my finger. The more I played with it, the better I got at touching/timing it just right to get it to spin/scroll instead of select, so maybe it's just an adjustment period. To be clear, I think the interf
  5. Same here, I have a tracking number but it's currrently not trackable... they probably packaged them all up with pre-issued numbers that bulk shippers use and they'll all be physically shipped out this afternoon, once UPS scans 'em they should be trackable.
  6. ckl5899, it might be a good idea to start a new thread with "cannot get rear seat audio to work with GMC Sierra" or something like that so that it'll attract the right folks who may be able to provide you the answer you need.
  7. If you're 100% sure you connected the head unit rear seat audio out to your OEM rear seat video system, then I'm at a loss.... I know some vehcile nead a special adapter of some sort to make the head unit audio compatable with OEM rear seat entertainment units (the video works without an adapter but not the audio). Hopefully someone else will chime in with a better answer.
  8. The audio for the rear screens will be output via RCA jacks to whatever you have in the back. In my case, it is sent to a wireless headphone system, so I can listed to one source over the vehicle speakers and the kids can listen to another via the headphones. You cannot make 2 diferent sources share the speakers (for example, iPod music on front speakers and DVD video audio on rear speakers will not work). If you do not want to use heaphones for your backseat zone, you'll have to purchase a seperate amp, connect the RCA stereo outputs to it and connect the amp to some other speakers. This
  9. Look on the SlySoft forum... I think folks that convert PAL to NTSC use a program called reclock to take care of the problem you're experiencing. I've never tried it myself, though.
  10. All my Audio is in synch using the methods I've used. I'm not familiar with the specific converter you're using; you'll probably get better answers on a support forum for it. Is it in synch when you play them back on your PC?
  11. There are 3 places you can set the AR when using with an ipod. In the ipod itself, you can set the video out and also set how to deal with widescreen vs 4:3 media. Not sure if either of these have anything to do with qwhat you see on your headunit screen, though. These settings are available on the ipod itself, not through the headunit. In AV Settings, you can change among full (or is it wide?), normal, zoom and cinema. These effect the stretching on your screen. I've found the settings for these to be weird. - For DVDs, widescreen DVDs in any AR exceeding 16:9, the setting should be
  12. Did you replace the entire cable when you replaced the camera? If not, there could be a partial short in the cable, enough to momentarily/randomly change the resistence of the line, but not a totally break in the line that would cause 100% of the picture to go away. You could try connecting some other video source directly to the head unit, using the camera input, and see if it does the same thing. If it does, then the problem is with the head unit (or maybe a little short/break in the wiring harness), if not, then the problem's in your connection.
  13. I'm not sure, but try putting the day/night display icon in your quick access list, then you should be able to toggle between the two from the map screen by pushing the icon... I'm not certain of this, though - it may just toggle the mode between day and automatic. If that's the case, then VBLUE42's suggestion will work in conjuction with mine - the power line will force "night" mode, but the icon will give you an easy access override when you change your mind.
  14. How are you able to browse AVIC FEEDS POI's if the AVIC FEEDS app icon on the unit is greyed out. AVIC Feeds and SD are two different Icons. The AVIC Feeds Icon is available in the "Destination" menu and a few others (via the favorites menu is one). The SD Card icon (where it appears as a picture of an SD Card and not as an AVIC Feeds Icon) is only available via the Sources menu. If you have an SD card inserted without any compatable media in it, it will not appear as a selectable source in the sources menu, or when scrolling through the sources. It will, however, still be available via t
  15. Does the USB drive have any compatable audio or video files one it? Is it formatted FAT or FAT32? If not, it will probably not appear as a source unless critera are met (at least that's how it is for SD). When I put an SD card just with AVIC feeds info, the SD icon is dimmed, but I can still access AVIC Feeds, save gas info, etc. If I insert the same card with at least one compatable audio or video file on it, then the SD card appears as a source. So I assume the same's true for USB.
