Hey guys, I installed my AVIC-X930BT and been using my iPhone as my main sorce of videos but its only a 8 GB so i went and splurged on a 32GB Micro SD for my thousands of music videos i had on my hard drive. I used Handbreak to convert most of them and got them all to play nicely on the deck.

The problem I'm running into is I recently installed 2 headrest monitors into my truck and I can get both DVD & videos on my iPhone to display out to the headrest units by selecting the (MIRROR AV) option on the the deck so it Mirrors whats being displayed on my deck back to the headrests. When I use my Micro SD card with all my videos, it displays on the deck but WILL NOT display back to the headrests. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Its not a bug its by design. As detailed in the manual head rest video is only supported by DVD and Apple i Devices.

The full manual is on Pioneers website and is publically available to anyone.

I believe it's a hardware limitation.

DVD is hardware decoded and iPod/Aux are already video signals, the AVIC just has to pass them through.

Good information to know. Thank you.

Same problem. This sucks. I've had this unit for a year and just getting around to adding movies to the SD card for this long road trip and can't get them to play on the rear screens. Guess I have to split them between my two iPhones and iPad. Disappointing.

I just encountered this same problem. It was even more frustrating because I had spent hours troubleshooting the right video format to get videos to play smoothly from an SD card. Why is the AVH-8400 able to send video from USB/SD back to rear monitors and not the AVICs? If Pioneer's top DVD receivers can do it (while also reading DivX files from USB/SD), you would think their "flagship" navigation units would share the capability....

Is there any way to mod or hack around this limitation?

I have the same problem, but right now the only solution I manage to do is to burn DivX in CD or DVD and then they play allright also on rear monitors.
