2 - Where can I get the latest version of iGo8? I am sure this has been covered but I cant seem to find any current links on where I can download the software will the current maps (3d/HD) with building and all the mods to run it.

3 - How can I tell if I have the current harness that resolves the airbag issue?
Are there any pics or description of the old vs new harness?

If any of you can help it would be greatly appreciated. I havent installed it yet but I am already excited to get it up and running.

Are there any other mods you guys recommend?

Thanks
If you see f° instead of c° then you are probably running the latest firmware.

igo 8 is pretty good but its a bit laggy, so I don't recommend having all kinds of fancy 3d building. pm me if you want details on igo8.

If you don't see you airbag light go on then you got the latest harness

Does anyone know if its there are pre outs from the Fly Audio unit and if it's possible to connect aux input in a pioneer head deck or something?

OK, I installed it last night and do have the option of either C° or F°. Everything works so far but I do have the airbag light on. I made sure to disconnect the neg battery terminal during the install.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on an updated harness?

Try another USB Drive. Mine did not work at first but I used another drive and it works fine. I think it needs to be 2.0 usb

[QUOTE=ollran;6390432]Does anyone know if its there are low level output or line out from the Fly Audio unit?[/Q

My stereo shop told me it's just like an OEM type radio. Speaker level only. Don't know if that helps.

I bought a new rear view camera as the one that was sent with the unit was an eye sore and it took away from the OEM feel of the unit.

Let me know what you guys think.


This is the camera I think it's the closest thing to the OEM one.

The license plate piece is actually already marked from the factory where the OEM cam goes.

^Camera looks good. I Just installed a new one similar to yours because I didn't like the cheap non OEM looking one either. So much cleaner!

is the quality of the video same as the one that came with the unit? Mine is the one that came with the unit. Can I still swap out without running the wire again?

You don't have to run any wires if you get a camera that uses the same video and power cables.

My install took me an hour and most of it was cutting as I did a cut fit cut fit method to make sure i got it just right.
