F90BT Died!!

:evil:

I bought an F90BT in October. It has been working fine until now, especially after the 2.0 Update.

I started the car today, and noticed something strange.

While the lighting for the knob and two buttons worked, the screen would not turn on. About 5-10 seconds after the lighting turned on, it turned off and nothing was on on the F90BT.

I have tried turning on the car and resetting the system - I believe it resets successfully, the button lighting turns off, there are some whirring noises, and the button lighting turns back on - the screen remains off, and the lighting once again goes away in 5-10 seconds.

I have also tried resetting the battery, and the same result remains.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Pull the unit and check your connections

Unfortunately, you will need to send it in for servicing. I had the same problem and I just got back 2 mins ago from Best Buy. It sucks

Yea, I bought it from amazon and contacted Pioneer and they said that I'll have to ship it for them to take a look at and either fix or send a new one... I knew this unit wouldn't be worth the hassle.

I never understood why I have to pay the shipping and handling for them when it's because their unit is faulty that I have to send it out to get fixed in the first place!
