I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with my avic, it is a F700bt, I had updated it with 3.0 when it fell into constant boot up last Feb. I struggled through it, I really don't know what I'm doing.

This weekend, the unit starts to boot up screen goes black, and that's it, I can hear the fan running, but it will not do anything else.

Now I can't even get it into testmode.

I would really like some help with this damn thing, someone I can go meet with Central Florida, or even somebody I could ship the thing to? I would like to see it get the most up to date maps, as well as proper software. At this point I don't even know if I'm downloading software incorrectly or what my problem is...

Thanks for any and all assistance....

OK, when I try to go into service mode, I press eject, menu, map, and reset. As soon as I release the reset button, it goes to the blue screen where I can input my codes. I thought that when I release the reset button, and hold the other 3 I was supposed to get a "pop" from the speakers, but nothing, goes right to blue.

I can put the codes in, and it says that the unit is reading the WINCEIMAGE.Bin and WinCEImage.CKS files, comes up with the reset message.

I shut the truck off, put in the pioneer updates, turn it on, goes to pioneer screen for a few seconds, and then goes black again, nothing but the fan sound....

Please any ideas???

What?

You might want to check here, here, or here.

While shutting the truck off does "reset" the unit, why not simply follow the directions and use the reset button?

As far as shutting the truck off, I was following this, viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25465, step #7, I also tried the 3 threads you suggested, and it seemed to upload the info, and I at least can get into test mode, and service mode, but after all the data is loaded.....still that GDMF BLACK SCREEN..... nothing but a very faint fan whirr...... I will soon be using this thing for something I'm good at, sledge hammer practice....I am so tired of this, can somebody just take this thing form me and shoot it!!! I know all too well that I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not an engineer, I just want to hear some music and get some damn directions once in a while, KARMA pioneer, KARMA....
