Getting it installed today... CAN'T WAIT!!

 

make sure you update to the latest firmware, this thing had some nasty bugs with the older firmware.

 

I have this unit. It does a lot and has great sound quality, but the software is incredibly buggy and it can really piss you off.

I suggest you join this site:

AVIC411.com

There are lots of good hints, hacks and information about it.

 

yea it comes with the 2.0 and i read somewhere that 3.0 is coming out soon... does any of yalls radio have lotta static?

 

I don't have one, but in reading the avic411 forum, I saw that a few people had that complaint. It didn't seem to be a common thing, but was not unheard of. I don't know if that's an installation issue (need noise isolation on the 12v lead?), some other installation factor, or perhaps a few defective units. I"ve been looking hard at the F90 also, so I've been trying to follow relevant discussions there.

 

I dont have any static on mine at all. I love it!

 

the installer fixed it... but now arises another problem... i put some videos into the movies folder and before it would change to the next video when i press the next button but now it doesnt change anymore... it changes for songs but not vidoes....

 

I had a problem similar to that but it was my ipod nano that was the problem and had to reformat it.

 

Started working liek it should last night... weird... hope it stays that way.

 

I've finally given up on it, and yes I have firmware 2.0.

Among other things, this thing

• Loses track of last song playing during an incoming call
• After a call, when reverting to the map display will zoom all the way out to a view of the entire earth (real f***ing useful. Am I in a spaceship?)
• Ipod cable has no right channel sound anymore
• No longer recognizes Ipod commands
• Bad radio reception
• Still incredibly slow startup and key response
• Sometimes reverts to main menu during startup

This product should never have been released the way it is and I can't believe so many people tolerate it and try to live with it.

*end rant*

 

wow that's frking horrible... do you still have the warranty?
