I know that the music part of the unit has not been hacked yet, but is it possible to create a button on the map screen to set the AV Source to "OFF".

 

I need a quick way of turning off the stereo and it seems that the easiest solution would simply to press an "OFF" button on the map screen.

 

Thanks for the help. This forum rocks.

well you can...

1. turn the knob until the volume is to zero

or 2. you can press the knob down and hold it for 2 seconds and that will mute music.

 

but as for a button to turn it off.. i dont know cause no one has really done that here

Seriously!?!? I should have read the manual!!! I was cussing Pioneer for being stupid enough to not have a mute!!

 

I guess I was the stupid one... !!

I'm pretty sure you will still be disappointed after trying the mute button. Most people agree its a real low point for the unit. Half the time you will activate the voice prompt, and the other half you end up zooming the map. If you are lucky enough to actually mute it, you now have to get it out of mute which is just as hard. I'm not sure if it works better with the replacement buttons posted in this forum, but with the stock button it really sucks. In the end its faster to just pause the AV source.
