Well I got the avic S1 today. One problem the windshield mount is stiff and can't bend so when the avic s1 is mounted I can't even see the avic s1 good enough, anyone else have this problem? But so far it has been reliable, except one time it told me to turn left when it should have been to turn right.

Also I was driving and the map just went sort of blank and my arrow was in the middle of no where, but I managed to get it working ( I think I reset it or contintued driving) but why does it just knock me off the map into the middle of no where? I still see the path where I'm supposed to drive on the edge of the screen and I have to drive to it but whats the problem? Anyways it's a good device. I'll just have to use it more.

Also is there a update out yet? Thanks and God Bless.

Well I fixed the window mount problem, you just have to bend the window mount stick hard. Also the GPS problem I mentioned above I believed is happening because of construction. Another friend with GPS has problems with the GPS in that location too. But it's a nice product. Thanks and God Bless.

Hey Soldier. I am glad you got your mount figured out. I was going to tell you that it is very stiff and you have to put some elbow into it, but now you know. Here is how I mounted mine. I used a Pro Fit cellular mount.

Oh okay cool. How is the avic s1 working for you so far? It's going great for me. Left it out in the sun for a while and it got hot, the directions said not to leave it in the sun, it got hot, but it should be fine right? I don't won't it to bother the navigation accuracy.

Have you heard of the TMC kit? http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/product_detail.jsp?product_id=12663&taxonomy_id=25-38

But it's only in Eurpoe and other countries. I called pioneer and I don't think the U.S. will have it. Also international countries have this feature https://www.navigon.com/site/int/en/shop/radar

But I like the avic s1, except when it tells me to turn left sometimes when it should be right. But my family tried it to Orlando and it worked fine. Also the s1 freezes sometimes, there needs to be a update for this.

Yeah! Why does it always take the longest route? I noticied that on some occasions? Is there maybe a update or firmware upgrade that can possibly fix this? Thanks and God Bless

Hi guys!

Is it possible to make an image of the wince???
I was lucky enough to erase the whole system by the service menu!
It can be reinstall with the right version of winceimg.bin!
Already tryed with different other wince versions with No luck!
Only the the service menu is reachable on my gps and if You could send me an avic s1 image would be very greatful and lucky again!
I Promise to NOT try to experimenting with the service menu again!

THANXXXX!

does anybody have the firware update?

I dont know if this will help, but Pioneer Europe released an updated firmware less than one month ago on their website. Since the OP already fux0red up his unit, try reflashing with this firmware, then load up the US Maps?

thx il check it out.

Could ANYBODY help me PLEASE!!!
Nedd the firmware of Avic S1
Mine is dead because I erased the system.
Only the winceimg.bin helps - a copy from original S1.
Please!
Plesae!
Please!
send me a pm, or to [email protected]

I called pioneer about the europen firmware upgrade, and they told me it can't be used for the american avic s1.

Dos Not matter, I'm think the hardware is the same!
If I can use ActiveSync there's an update to european on the cd too...
Basicly only the core of Wince.net is the most important to get it work first.
The rest is easy...I think!

Thanx anyway Soldier!

What does the avic s1 update do? I still haven't downloaded the european version of the update, just don't trust it, has anyone else down it?
