Today I installed Avic F90BT into my G35 Infiniti , did the wire hack all seem well, haven't tested on the road, I got AM and FM radio work great, radio sound loud and clear... my problem is the Av source doesn't high light Av1 or Av2 when I plug in the ipod , i go to menu -setup and set AV1 input to "ipod" with no luck... I check my connection RCA cable are correct red-red audio input, yellow-yellow video input ,white-white audio input... any other wires am I missing?

Hi Avic411 users,

I hope this thread is still 'alive' b/c I am experiencing very similar problem as the previous person described (and, I made sure I did not have any sd or Usb device connected either...).

I just recently installed the F90BT on my F150 truck and All components test well, EXCEPT for the Ipod (but in very peculiar way though) -

1. Connection on Rear of my F90BT unit is checked fine {all Audio's input & video) plugged in to the supplied Ipod cable from Pioneer. of course, I also connected my (5th Gen) 80GB Ipod/video and turned it ON.

2. gone to Settings-> Av settings-> and I could see the AV1 on bottom highlighted. Toggled to 'Ipod'. then,

3. On Menu -> Av Source page ->??? did NOT see anything but FM &AM Icons... all the rest were shadowed!!

4. wend back to Settings (step 2) and toggled to VIdeo this time. and repeated step #3. Now, I got something..

5. this time I did not see any Ipod menu what-so-ever, but I could play the music and watch Movies of my Ipod. however, all controlled via ipod and not the AVIC unit. i got frustrated, talked to another friend installed same unit an indeed said I should see the contorls, etc.. actually, very similar way when I plug SD card with MP3 songs, I see the songs and no problem...

Here's my question, assuming all connected properly in back (cuz I also took care of the bypass 'flip' of Mute wire, etc.), Do you think the IPOD cable is Bad? after all I could play the Music and watch Mp4 movies just right....

Has anyone out there ran into this problem before?

Thanks in advance.
