I have a F700BT with 2.0 and did the hardware by-pass. I had it for about 1 month.

About once a week since I have it (or perhaps 3 times per 2 weeks), the Password screen comes up at startup and ask for the password. I enter it and after a message informing me that the unit is in the process of being unlock, all is fine. While the password screen is on and a password is requested, my FM station plays.

Is it normal that the unit ask for my password now and again? Sorry if this was asked before for a search did not yield that information.

thanks

I get the same on mine,

It only asks for it sometimes, to be honest I wouyld find it annoying to input my password everytime I start the car.

I enabled the security password on mines. When my charging system starts failing the unit will power back up and ask me to input my password. Just a thought.
