put the brake wire to ground, but remember this is dangerous and you may cause an accident.

you need a pioneer TV tuner GEX P5700.

I am having the same problem. Did you figure it out?

if you are using the av ipod cable that plugs into the usb and the red,white,yellow rcas, you will have change a setting in the audio section for the audio to work, if you go into the AV settings, the first option with say AV1 input, press it until it changes to IPOD. you should then have audio, if that doesn't work, the the rcas are improperly connected to the radio. hope this helps

Sorry Andy, that feature is built in at the factory so you cannot watch a DVD while driving.. maybe a radio shop will know how to bypass it.

There are a few things that could be wrong.

Check all of your connections, due to the extreme heat and cold, the wires surprisingly are able to move quite a bit. This may trigger any loose power wires to disconnect from their points.

Make sure EVERY wire is properly crimped/tied down.

You also may want to check for any corrosion at your points.

Also there are a few shops out there that forget to scrape/sand off the paint to show the bare metal before connecting the ground.

Check your ground wire/harness that comes from the battery, if the wires are old the insulation may crack and cause a short to ground causing your electronics to not work until you restart it a few times.

you may have the memory feed crossed with the main feed, to check pull out unit and check the wiring is correct in the rear

Have you tried calling Pioneer and giving them the serial number? They should have at least something on file for a master lock code. It wouldnt make sense if they did not since we all lose important documents.

Once you have your camera set up, press the map button on the left above the volume, if the navagation map comes up, press the map buttom again and you will be presented with other options that can be displayed including the view of the camera. Once you have it on that setting, every time you start your car, it will continue to show the cameras view until you change it.

It depends on the format of the video itself. The deck can play mostly .wmv and divx. Anything else will come up blank

Either you do not have the navagation dvd in the deck or the deck is broken somehow

voice only comes out thru the front speaker, if you hook up amp to rear rca, change to fronts. also speaker outputs, too. btw, did you turn on the voice/volume at the menu??

I got a solution:

Used hardware:

Pioneer DEH-P65BT
Jailbroken!! Iphone 3g FW: 3.1.2.
Mac or PC (addressbook on Mac or Outlook on Win)

Steps:

- Sync your contacts trough Itunes with your PC or Mac
- Go to addressbook on Mac (or Outlook on win) and export all your contacts to a vcf file (Called Vcards in addressbook)
- Copy the vcf file to your Iphone (iphoneExplorer / SSH / DiskAid or other solution)
- Download iBluetooth (I used it from the Xsellize source)
- Set up you radio to PhoneBook Transfer (Your phone is not connected to the radio at this point)
- In iBluetooth browse to the VCards.vcf and send it to the Pioneer unit.
- It now says transfer done and the phonebook is stored.

Posted this because it took me days to get it working. Haven't found a working solution on the net.

Also transfering the phonebook from another phone isn't a solution because however the phonebook will be stored it won't be usable by your iphone. The pioneer registers the phonebook to a device so it's absolutely necesarry to transfer it from the actual iphone (or send it from a laptop with a spoofed BT-Mac that matches your iphone)

Good luck!

I have had the same problem here in Australia and i have been told that Pioneer has a software upgrade. So take it back to your retailer and get them to reinstall the new software.
Good Luck

I am not 100% sure but you may have to replace it. Not so long ago copyright legalization was passed that had the manufacturers disable the units after (I remember 3) area changes were made. It kills those that come from a different country and like stuff from both. I am not sure if that is your problem but if you contact the manafacturer they would tell you.
Good Luck,

this until has a safety feature installed that will not let you view video while in motion. it has a light green wire on the back that is supposed to be connected to the cars ebrake wire so that in order to view video you would have to have your ebrake ingaged. it also allows you to be able to type in address for the navigation. if this wire is not connect or not connected properly, you will get a messages that says drive can not view video will driving..


double check the connection....or you can just bypass it completely. i have attach a link on how you bypass this feature which will allow you to watch video and type in nav address while drivin
