I've searched and all I can find is people who don't know how to make their iPods play audio....Moving forward...

 

All of a sudden, I cannot use the 3.5mm jack on the front of my F900BT. I can assign it in AV Settings to EXT, but when I go to use it, the AV1 option is greyed out, rendering it useless. Has anyone else seen this issue? When I assign it to iPod, my iPod plays just fine. When I assign it to Video, I can hear audio from my iPhone through Pandora. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't functioning as it used to? I have a new tablet with data service that I'd like to hook up through the front panel 3.5mm jack and use it for internet music, but now I can't! Nothing has changed in my setup since this has worked, so I'm at a loss.

 

Also, is there any hack we can do to, say, use the iPod functionality of skip, play, pause, etc, with Pandora on an iPhone? I know the newer Pioneer units can do all of this, but there's gotta be a way to make it happen with the F900BT.

 

OR! Is there a hack to allow AV2 to assign to EXT? This would be really nice, considering, that if I want to use a 3.5mm source rather than my iPod, I have to go through the settings to reassign the input to EXT. Ugh. Help please. :?

You know, there comes a time in every man's life where he begins to wonder if he's as much of a noob as he thinks, and I think I just hit that moment. Little did I know that when AV2 is assigned to "Video," it's the same as when AV1 is assigned to EXT. Silly me to think that Video on AV1 would be the same physical source as Video on AV2. So it looks like all of my issues have been resolved.
