  1. Now I guess that's one way of telling me to F off. You may be right, this may not be the right forum for me but since I only registered on March 30th, 2010 and posted around 13 times and haven't had the benefit of your years of forum experience or 3000+ posts, I'll keep poking around.
  2. Sorry if I offended you, the easiest thing to do is ignore my posts. So far I can't get it to work, the emulator screen comes up but when I try to open the Main or Phone with the File Explorer it creates an error, when I seleck the Navi screen, it just sits there with "NaviMain" in the center of a blank winow. Still researching the process but not on this forum, too many snobs here that will jump right on a noob and say go search the forum.
  3. Well, I think I have my answer, it's on the WIKI page under OS Emulation. http://avic411.com/wiki/index.php/OS_Emulation . That's the exactly what I was looking for. I must have overlooked it when I was searching (AKA 411) for information or it was just re-posted to the WIKI page.
  4. Never dialed 411 on a phone, never needed help locating a phone number, but I think that clears up the forum title thing. Quite appropriate in fact. Now, do you have any other information or is that the sum total of your "help"?
  5. After much research I installed an X910BT in my truck but was not happy with the quality of the maps. I was used to portable units and handheld devices which had much better maps. I even returned the first one because I was sure it was defective! The second one had the same weak maps but after a few trips using the routing functions I decide to keep it although I had to use the male voice instead of the female which is horrible. I rather like the signs and highway markers that pop up so I tend to ignore the poor quality road displays. The Bluetooth, DVD and USB were big on my list as well.
  6. I installed an X910BT about 2 weeks ago and was not pleased with the maps. I joined this forum to glean information about the unit and after a few days I returned it for another one and it appears the maps are the same quality so I guess it's the nature of the beast. This is my first "in dash" unit, all others were portable and had varying degrees of map quality - all of which were better than the Pioneer. So, at the risk of getting flamed by forum snobs, I’m trying to find out if there is a single general reference source, be it here on the forum or in written format (book or electronic-
  7. Been off line for a while, You don't need to run it all the way forward. Just use a good ground point near the camera, make sure its clean then coat it with some grease or Vaseline to prtotect it from corrosion.
  8. Well, after dealing with Pioneer "support" and an online electronics help site I guess I'm stuck with the crappy maps until I can figure out how to hack this thing and load in some different displays to repace or add to the Pioneer blue and red choices for map colors, neither of which seems much different from the other. I guess I was spoiled by my Magellan units and my DeLorme PN40 hand held which both have better map displays than the X910BT. All other functions seem to work (slow) so I guess it's the nature of the beast.
  9. It did for a while but I fixed the problem by running a solid ground connection. Today's cars have so much plastic it's hard to find a proper ground when you need one!
  10. Where do you have the reverse signal wire connected to? It sounds almost like an internittant connection such as a switch not making a solid connection or a ground problem. I hooked up a camera for my daugter in law and had a similar problem with a loose ground connection.
  11. I tried everything to change the display, it must be part of the map package. Here's a photo of what it appears like. This really sucks. Image removed Well, Pioneer support came back with a response to my query about the washed out display, they said: "Try resetting the unit, press the disc eject and reset button at the same time for about 15 seconds. Also, make sure the installer (me) did not connect the illumination wire wrong. It may be in night mode all the time, if connected wrong." I followed the wiring diagram included with the unit and used one of the available cross connect cable
  12. The map colors on my new x910 are washed out and grey/blue in appearance. The road/street lines are light in color against a light gray background not the greens yellows blues and reds I saw in all the advertisements and on Pioneers' web site. I bring up the NAVI color selections and it shows Pioneer blue or Pioneer red which are not that different from each other. Is there something I'm missing? I'm used to using Magellan or Garmin stand alone units which had vivid colors for the maps. There is nothing in the owner's manual that even refers to changing colors, of course the manual is in black
  13. Paypal'd you money for a black knurled knob for an X910BT.
