You can send it back to Pioneer with your receipt of purchase showing the serial number and they will unlock it.

 

 

P.S. Your setting yourself up for trouble because people are going to assume it was stolen... So remember the password or send it in, because the person that stole my AVIC-D3 probably having the same problem right now!!! :x

I got you dude... and sorry for your D3.... mine is 900BT and have a receipt i can upload it if anybody want to see!!

 

The reason i wanted to give try here before sending it back to the pioneer is, I installed it Just a 4 of days ago and i paid $130.00 to frys (+ $40.00 for some adaptor and wire kit) which i dont want to do it again!!!

 

if anybody have any solution and only want to give it to the actual OWNER of the unit then i can upload the receipt and the actual box the unit came in with and all other accessories...

 

if want to take it to off-line then you can send solution to "[email protected]"

 

 

 

Thanks

The only way known to reset it is to send it in to Pioneer. There charge in the past has been 200.00 dollars. I would not expect it to be any different now. Try and remember that password.

My F90BT started having the reboot problem and I tried the info below from another thread. It worked and it also wiped out my password I had set. So I had to set the password up again.

 

 

HOW TO FIX REBOOTING PROBLEMS & MENU ACCESS PROBLEMS

 

 

If your unit reboots continously, or

reboots every few minutes, or

you can't access the navi settings menu,

 

here is an easy solution:

 

Boot into test mode

 

Navigate to the 'My Flash Disk/USER/UserData/iGo/save' folder

 

Delete all files in the 'save' folder (there will prob be 4 files and 1 folder)

 

Navigate to the 'My Flash Disk/USER/UserData/SETUP' folder

 

Delete all files in the 'SETUP' folder (there will prob be 5 files)

 

Exit test mode and reboot normally

 

Problem solved! :)

Today I had the problem with forgotten password. I tried the solution above (delete the content of save and SETUP folders) and it worked on my F900. I mention that I tried to enter the password only 2 times so the device was not locked. I do not know if this will work if you enter the wrong password 3 times and the device becomes locked.

That actually makes the whole password business pretty useless.... :?

where are the days of a chip which destroyed itself after 3 attempts. Good old stereos... How bloody hard is it to resurect such a thing?! Lazy cheap big corps just cannot be bothered to actually think that not everyone is a looser that can just push buttons... But they still charge you plenty more than enough for this unit :-(

At least they kept the great sound quality of the past :-)
