I have just replaced my F90BT with a new X930BT. All is working properl,y but when I play a CD no information is shown on screen such as album title, artist, or name of the song. I have tried at least a half-dozen different CDs, all original manufacturer's discs, no copies and the lack of information is the same. This was not a problem with the original F90BT. Information from my iPod and an SD card displays correctly. Have I managed to miss a setting somewhere or done something else dumb? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did some additional checking and found that the X930BT WILL display data for the CD's being played, but only for about 2 discs out of every 10! Have tried 20 different CD's now and 4 displayed properly. In that I also have a problem with no sound being played from my iPod, the X930 is going into Pioneer for repairs and my original F90BT is going back in the car. This kind of product quality is not exactly inspiring.

It's not a "fault" of the avic, it depends on the CD. It will get info from MP3/Data CD's. If it's a plain audio CD, it's only going to work if CD Text is written to the disc.

Also, make sure AV1 is set to iPod.

very few store bought CDs actually have any data information on them, this is normal. not pioneers fault, but a fault of the record industry.

 

as far as the ipod, along with jasons advice, are you also using the correct ipod cable? a standard usb sync cable will not function correctly.
