I just purchased a car with an AVIC-F700BT. The radio and nav work, but that's about it. I cannot get it to pair to my iPhone 6 either by searching for devices or pairing from the phone (no device shows). The bluetooth light on the face blinks when the unit boots, but that's it.
It looks like the unit has firmware 2.06 installed. I followed the instructions on the Pioneer website to update it to 2.08, but once the SD card is installed and the unit powers on, it just boots normally? It then tries to read the SD card for audio files.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here? I'd like to see if I can get it functional enough to stream BT audio (if it has that capability). If not I'll rip it out and install something newer. Not afraid to root it and install new firmware, but not sure why it isn't recognizing the SD card on power up?
I also can't seem to get it to recognize the aux input jack on the front face.
Any assistance appreciated--thanks.
