I recently had my AVIC-F700 stolen from my vehicle. Insurance covered repairing my dash/door and sent me a new X710. I had it professionally installed and it worked fine for 2 weeks. Then, the screen would go blank intermittently after switching back to the menu from the backup camera. The music/ipod would still play, just couldnt see the screen. Today, it happened again and I hit the reset button while I was driving.

After the reset, I could not get any sound from the ipod and key beeps would not work. I made sure the AV1 was set to IPOD and that the key volume was set to yes. Still no luck. If I changed the source to FM, then the key beeps started working. Once I went back to the IPOD, still no sound and no beeps.

I reset again, unplugged IPOD & USB cable, tried different IPOD, and still had no luck. Then I took it back to the installation place and they told me it was setup correctly and the stereo was most likely bad.

i will be calling the place I got the stereo from & Pioneer on Monday to see what the next steps are. What a pain in the A%#.

Has anyone experienced this? Any recommendations are are appreciated. Thx

no experience with it but it does sound like the radio needs to be replaced. not much you can do about it.

Yes agreed. I have to take it back to the installer on Monday to have them do verify a couple of things per request of the insurance stereo replacement company. If everything checks out, I will have another one shipped out. It will be nice to have my ipod back. FM stinks. Wish I had satellite.

The unit was fine. The Ant CTRL was incorrectly set. Once I set it to "Power", my IPOD and CD audio worked. Cant believe I didnt catch this one. I was only focused on the AVI input.
