Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition)

[toy_toronto]

Alex, i don't really know if anyone has actually installed a 2nd display for this hu.

On mine, the 2-zone button appears to be "active" (button can be clicked) but I don't have another display though. I went thorugh the menu settings but could not find any related to enabling/disabling this feature.

In terms of firmware updates, i've searched and found a couple of sites that offer it (sorry can't remember the links it's been a while) but reading through their forums most have been unsuccessful and/or have ended up with 'bricked' units.

If you find a working solution pls do comeback and share what you find =)

What happens if you click on it?

That's my same problem.

OK, for the moment it's better to not to change it ;)

Sure I will do it =)

Maybe this weekend I will have a go and try resetting the unit and see if I can get the spectrum to work.

Next question... with PIP i don't have the option to display the radio in the small window and navi in the large (can display everything else). Is that the norm?

I can do radio large, navi small

Should add I cannot get radio to play with Navi large at all.

[toy_toronto]

Let us know how you make out... just in case, the reset hole/button is in the top left hand corner beside the VOL knob.

BTW, did you check to make sure the spectrum analyzer option wasn't disabled?

[SKurj]

Yes its not disabled

Ahh the reset hole.. thanks I was thinking I would just disconnect the battery for a minute. That solution looks better.

[SKurj]

Yes Toy, nothing bounces in the Spectrum screen. I think it did the once.. and only once.. I think the first time i went to the spectrum screen they bounced until i tapped the screen again.

Oh god will this thread ever die! Unsubscribe! unsubscribe!

Well I tried the reset, not quite a true reset, looks like the unit maintains all my settings.
The first time i open the spectrum screen after reset the things bounce for a split second then come to rest and never move again...

Meh not a big issue.

Hi, I have received mine today. Where must I connect the "brake detection" "back detection" and "AMP control" cables? It's the 3 seperate cables coming from the power plug. And also I don't know if anyone of you have the reverse camera, but there is a short red cable connected to each end of the AV cable that connects the camera to the unit. Where must this be connected?

Thanks for the help
Brendan

Brendan it's been a while since I installed mine and I can't even recall what the connections at the back looked like, lol.

All I remember was it was plug n play (toyota harness) and took me like 15 minutes to hook everything up. I don't think those cables you're referring to needs to be connected (likely they're to prevent dvd playback when driving, etc.). I think I just left mine unconnected and zip tied them at the back.

Not amazon, but these are fairly priced.

Anyone know exactly how many millimeters the opening for a 2009 double din unit is? I am wondering if the unit that the OP put in, will fit in my car.

[BennyLava]

Ok read the whole thread and I found out that it fits fine. There are only a couple of questions that I have.

1. Do ALL of these units come with 128mb of RAM? I'm talking about the exact same unit that the OP used. I see some websites are selling it, but they say something like "EMS Memory: 64MB". If you scroll down a bit after clicking on this link, you can see where they say that. I just want to be 100% sure that I get a unit with 128mb of RAM just like the OP did. I hate a slow interface.

2. How do you update maps? Do you just buy another micro SD card from iGO?

3. There seems to be some pretty big discrepancies in the prices of these things. Some places seem to be selling it for around $300, while other sell it close to $500. Is that cause some places sell it without the GPS software SD card?

I'm glad you read the thread as I knew the answers you needed were already posted (ex: first post, first picture for the bezel measurements). I no longer have my seller's contact since he doesn't exists on ebay anymore.

As for updating the maps you're kinda pretty much on your own finding the updates depending on which app comes preloaded on the SD card. Your best bet is to find the specs/info directly from other vendors, and if you can't get the answer then move on to the next seller who will provide them. You're pretty much taking your own chances with these units like I did and fortunately it worked out for my own needs.
