I've done the bypass and can operate the map / routes while moving, I can input video from the AV source (albeit that input doesn't work right) but I get nothing but sound from USB videos. No video at all. Just a black screen. I tried it still and moving. Anyone got ideas?

They're probably encoded with the wrong codec.

 

Make sure they're .mp4 files, with (IIRC) h.264 video and mp3 sound - check the specs in the back of the manual to be sure. :)

Make sure you have the video mode button set to video.

 

It doesn't seem to auto select and at least before 2.0 update, I used to be able to do video sound with no screen in audio mode... nice if you just want to listen to some music videos.
