AVIC-Z150BH - Screensaver Problem

Hi All,

 

My first post to the forums ! I had a look around first, it's very cool to see an entire site dedicated to the AVIC line.

 

My issue:

 

I recently had a bypassed AVIC-Z150BH installed in my Xterra.  My installer noticed that the Pioneer screensaver was coming on continually after a few minutes of inactivity.  Since there is no mention of a screensaver in the manual nor online, I'm assuming it has something to do with the bypass putting the system into "test Mode"?  Similar to the demo mode that would display their revolving ads on display units.  Since there are tons of videos and tutorials on how to bypass the unit, and there is no mention of others having the same problem, I'm wondering if the bypass was done in correctly, or if this is normal?

 

Thanks for your time !

Sounds like you are in some Demonstartion mode. Have you driven the vehicle with the HU installed? See pg 20 in the manual. "Demonstration Images".

 

Or possibly, if you have entered a route, it is demo-ing the route? See the route Demo setting  (pg 45-49).

Hi Ron,

 

Thanks for the advice.  It appears that you were right !  It hadn't left the shop since the install, and after driving around tonight it appears that screensaver is no more.

 

Thanks again !
