Hey Im new to these forums. I recently bought a used avic f700bt and had everything hooked up and working properly in my Toyota celica until I realized I couldn't access the settings so I unhooked everything and found a loose wire (the e-brake wire). I was told to that it needs to be plugged into a red socket so I found an open one next to my e-brake so i did that and everything was working fine. I could access the settings and then I reset the ecu in my car (to disable CEL) and when I turned it back on an error message came up saying "Application ezrider has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". I tried calling the company and had no luck. I don't have the original CD that came with it either. It seems like a good unit, I just replaced a double din BOSS unit for this one and would hate to see this one go. Please help me.

Read in hacks how to do a soft ebrake bypass mod. Or grab someone's mod in hack mods section. Is it only when you are driving this comes up or at start up?

every time on startup even if the cars not running and just the battery is on.

Put the wire you moved back in its original spot.

I tried that I unhooked it (the e-brake wire) and restarted it and still get the same message every time. I tried holding the reset button for 5 seconds pulled all fuses both for the radio and the one on the radio and nothing has worked.

sorry for the double post.

Idk disconnect battery if you feel comfortable doing so and reconnect. Install problems really aren't my cup of tea... Haven't modded my harness in like 3 years

I already tried that thats how I reset the ecu. Is there anything software related I can do, or anything else?

Can always try to go into testmode. I'd load 3.0 files then grab Daftia's mod and load that over it. It can't hurt.

How would I do that? I don't have any experience with the software on these but I do have an sd card which I know I need.

Right now both the mute wire and the e brake wire are not connected to anything and I can access the main menu and play cd's for about three minutes until it cycles back into the loop where it restarts

Download torrent, get into test mode and upload a fresh backup.

go to this thread ; http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/34050-torrent-full-of-avic-f-files/ download the zip with a torrent file with in it. Use a torrent downloader (Azerus Vuze, Utorrent, Bittorrent, ect) to download the larger torrent to your computer (its 8.4 gb and should take much of the rest of the evening to download). Once these files have been downloaded

1. Format an SD card that is at least 2 gb big.

2. Unzip the file you have downloaded

3. Locate the File Testmode V 2.3. Open folder Copy the folder within entitled "testmode"

4. Paste that file into the root level of your SD card

5. Locate folder "My Flashdisk Back up" Open it then Open the folder 2.0 f700 Copy this folder

6. Paste that file/folder into Root level of your SD card along with "test mode"

7. Eject SD card and head to car

8. Put SD card in avic and turn it on

9. wait for avic to load into test mode (likes like windows 95 its called WindowsCE)

10. Click Start > Programs> Windows Explorer

11. Double Click SD card > Double Click f700 up top click edit>select all then Edit>Copy

12. Click Start > Programs > Windows Explorer (again) to open a second finder window

13. Double Click "My Flash Disk" that looks like a grey little icon

14. you will see a bunch of folders and icons it should look similar to when you opened F700 folder from SD card Click uptop Edit Paste

15. If you are given an error message about not enough room ignore or x it out ( i forget the exact step)

16. If asked if you want to replace file, select YES ALL

17. You will see that its gonna take upto 2 hrs but in reality it takes about 15 minutes to replace all files.

18. Once its finished turn off our car

19. eject SD card

20. Turn on Car hopefully at this point it loads perfectly like its a new avic... this may take a few momments and in initial menu it will say please wait system start up in process.

21. If its stuck in loop mode put SD card back in and re enter test mode go back to "My Flash Disk" delete all the files that say "gpspara(number).bin

If this doesnt work you need further help which is doable in most cases but its more indepth. This at least will give you a basic understanding of how to navigate inside WinCe

thanks so much for the help. Ill give it a try tomorrow and will post the results back here when Im done. thanks again!

& do you think I should do this with the e brake and mute wire un connected?

i am always a fan of having things connected as the should... or at least grounded properly.
