But it still has issues, many of wich have been said here already.
First is the lack of playback options on the unit... If you want to view videos you have to either have them on dvd or have an external player, and that is just not ... so good...
I have Igo primo running and also get the out of memory error (been a while now but sometimes it happens) . Also when running the navigation the unit freezes if I get a call and the bluetooth is connected.... The conversation still goes through the unit and when I hang up I need to reboot the unit most of the times, sometimes it just keeps functioning as it should, or I get the out of mem error. Not so good either....
The most important for me is to be able to play anything (or almost) using the usb connector, and this is something flyaudio should/could have implemented from factory... I hope they figure this out...
Also someone said he could get in the service menu of the 2gen unit... I know it involves a code wich I think everyone should have in order to do a hard reset on the unit instead of just rebooting the unit... So if anyone knows how to get in this menu, please tell us...
Thnx
I have the same problem with bluetooth and iGo when I receive phone calls. I think the reason the unit freezes sometimes when we get a phone call is because of iGo Primo's bluetooth feature interferes with Flyaudio bluetooth system. iGo Primo has capability of handling bluetooth calls and its bluetooth settings need to be disabled somehow in the sys.txt. I haven't been able to figure out how since I'm not very savvy with all the things that go into the settings file. When I use the Odyssey navigation software which came with Flyaudio, I don't experience any issues with bluetooth incoming phone calls.

is it possible to order and install an oem navigation unit? or are the extra features of the FlyAudio unit worth the hassle?

Just got Updated firmware so climate temperature reading issue: fixed. Freezing and restarting issue:fixed. Seems to be bug free at this point.

My FM reception sucks and weird thing is the antenna plugs into the factory cd changer unit not the actual flyaudio unit. Must be something that is hurting its reception.

Can you check to see if any of the temperatures repeat? I got the pre-release update and 73F and 82F repeat.

Strange... my FM is fine. AM is the problem. Gets NO AM stations where I am. If I were a few miles from downtown then I pick up a couple with lots of static.

Yours a Gen 1 or 2?

That's weird. FlyAudio tech told me their unit is just a controller and the actual AM receiver is in the CD changer. There seems to be some sort of interference from FlyAudio unit or bad filter design. However, generally speaking, Toyota radios suck in general.


Well I wish I was superman and had enough power to make them fix the AM reception. LOL

I think it wouldn't hurt to contact Flyaudio and ask for an explanation too.
Did you install the airbag wire that came with your unit?

Yes I used all harnesses/cables that came with the unit. However, the passenger airbag lights never worked.
