You cant, The USB port is a downlink port INTO the Avic, Not the other way round.

 

Why would you want to connect it to a PC like that?

Good point, I wish it can use as an uplink to like most other GPS.

 

It is a lot easier to manage the data in the device when connected to a PC. Most other GPS works that way.

 

So I guess no one can make the AVIC comes up as a storage device under Windows, right?

 

thanks

I don't have a 500, but supposedly you can change USB port in Control Panel, after booting into Testmode, to work as standard ActiveSync WinMo device.
