AVIC-F90BT Install (DUW)

But how did you get that Marauder emblem and Image onto the F Unit? Can a AVIC D3 Be modded the same way. Inquiring minds....

On the AVIC F series, there is a menu option to change the splash screen from several presets as well as the ability to load a user image from the SD card or a USB memory stick. I'm not sure the D3 has that ability. I should be in the manual if it is possible.
 
Someone on this site was able to change it. Look for threads from XTCBOT if I remember right. This is for the D3.

the instructions are on page 66 in the manual, I have been using the above picture since I installed the d3. I did have to resize it to 500x240 to make it show full screen. I installed mine in a similar way as I did not cut the left and right tabs only the top and bottom, I made the trim ring with textured plastic and a scroll saw. The only thing I had to cut in the dash itself was the small piece of plastic in the left rear that sticks up to make room for the rca's.
 
How is the view on a sunny day?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these Pioneer/Premier AVIC units do not appear to have a tilt face.
How's the view when the sun is glaring?

They have a good display and can be used in most light conditions. What do youother guys that have them think? Send John nero a PM and ask him.

I don't have any problem with sun glare. I think that big overhang that our dash has helps a lot. I have only noticed the screen being washed out once or twice when the sun has been rising or setting behind me at the perfect angle to hit the display. I don't think that tilting would help that much.
 
John - Is the Avic F-90BT GPS any faster than a Magellan roadmate 700 ? I like all the fetures it offers. The only other thing would be nice to have in the Avic is a radar jammer . This Avic would realy clean up my dash.

I do not have the answer on the speed! They do look good installed.
 
Question, does this have the speed wire for the GPS? I know the lower f series does...and if so, where did you tap in to for it? We're planning an instal for SD453453's this weekend.

Thanks

The speed wire is in the radio wiring harness. Pink wire if I remember right.

Affirmative on the pink wire (from the Pioneer at least).

For the car signal wire, the speed sensor is labeled on the harness adapter from Mr. Kuhn.
 
Thanks, I forgot it was called the "vss" wire...a quick search here linked me to a thread from toomanyfords that confirmed it's in the harness....pin 14 i think, i can't remember off the top of my head.
