Default SD card not working

I have a first generation Flyaudio unit which is 2 years old and all of a sudden my SD card (with the GPS software) stopped working. Whenever I try to run the gps exe I get a "Path not found". I also don't see any files or directories on the SD card. I have tried another sd card thinking that maybe the card was broken and still get the same error "Path not found". Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it?

Is there any way to default to the 2D map when getting directions in navigation mode in iGo?

I got mine from David over at carlighttrends dot com, he's a straight up guy extremely good with customer service and very knowledgeable about the FlyAudio System. I've had mine for a long time now and honestly zero problems.

When I ordered mine from David, he told me that as long as I use it as it was intended I wont have any problems. I do watch videos via the DVD player and honestly I love my FlyAudio.

I have installed my Flyaudio and so far has been great, the only issue is a few radio stations do not get great reception at times. I don't know if it's worth it to pull the system out and check my connections?

Hey guys...
I'm having problems with usb video playback...
I don't get any image and no sound either.... I've tried severall avi files ansd none were working !!
I can convert videos, but does anyone know what the specs of the avi file should be ???
Or a converter with the right settings for the flyaudio ???
I'm pulling my hairs out here...
Also wrote a dvd with videos on it, but the flyaudio playback is very choppy but the sound is good.
That's why I wanted to be able to play videos of the usb...

my flyaudio unit wont let me calibrate the screen, it acts as if something is already touching the screen, its messing up everything, it locks up the whole system, anyone else have this problem?

I used to follow this thread, and ended up not getting a flyaudio unit because of all the issues people were reporting with the first gen units.

Would someone please spare me from having to search through 150+ pages, and give me the current census on the quality of the latest 2nd gen units? Are there any current issues? What are the good things that the unit can do?

Don't waste your money. I had a second gen and it started having hardware problems after one year.

If you really want to get a an OEM looking navigation system for your IS, there's another chinese unit that costs 1/3 of the FlyAudio. Here's the thread:

No issues with mine, and I've had it for a while now. It works fine, I drive my car 40+ miles a day to and from work and every where else. I use the DVD player just about once a week and no major issues to report.

After I got the revised harness (fixed the radio) and after I got the revised Bios ( it fixed the AC settings) and to clear up the AC settings issue thing the AC and Heater worked fine it was the visual AC setting on the FlyAudio that was off. After the new Bios I have not had any major problems and all is good, honestly.

Got a few questions about the unit. I tired looking through a few pages but didn't find an answer and don't got time to read 150+ pages right now.

1. How do you reset the unit?
2. How do you change Celsius to Fahrenheit?
3. How do you update the bios?
4. Is it possible to change the blue color behind the icons in the menus?

Thanks!

Is it possible to connect a recording camera to this unit using AV port as AUX or any other option? I would like to connect recording camera and playback on the unit rather then ejecting mini sd card and playing it back on the computer.

Anyone had an issue with the blinkers/hazards after installing the unit? I installed my FlyAudio and my hazards don't work. When I plugged my original one in, it works fines.

1) To reset there is a key on the screen that says "reset"
2) Celsius to Fahrenheit that can be changed in the TMPS settings
3) update the bios, contact where you got it from. (if its new I don't think you need it)
4) You can't change the color, I like the blue it looks OEM
