just installed the avic f500bt+ndg500 amp + parrot harness.

everything works ok except sometimes the unit does not turn on when my car turns on and sometimes it will start up exactly where it left off instead of running through the splash screen.

also the bluetooth is very erratic, sometimes it will connect right away and sometimes the blue light doesnt even come on.

i have the ebrake wire grounded, it gives me an error message once and a while. also i did not swap the pins on the harness, does it matter?

-Nick.

Nick,

Not sure what is going on with your bluetooth (that has actually been the one stable thing with my F500 - works great), but when I set up my F500/ND-G500 with the ISO harness, I switched the pins. I know others have noted this. I'm not sure if all the harnesses for the ND-G500 have them switched or just some. It's easy enough to check. I've pasted a link below that came up from a Google search. Probably not the best picture, but the first one in the list. In this picture, the large double-ISO connector is shown as two separate connectors A and B. The red accessory wire should be in position 7 of the A connector and the yellow constant in position 4 of the A connector. On mine, they were reversed, so I switched them.

My unit always powers up. However, if I leave an iPod connected in seems to reboot. Otherwise, it just goes from where it left off - even if I haven't started in 12-14 hours.
