The steps mushybreak detailed should fix your power window issues - as for the buttons not illuminating at night, that's not right. The buttons should illuminate exactly like the OEM ones do. There is a delay however, as the system powers up. In other words, if you turn your car on at night and turn on the headlights, the buttons on the FlyAudio unit won't illuminate until the system boots. It's usually about a 3-5 second delay in this specific situation.

Dee530,

you can fix that by going to the UNIT MENU(not the gps) -> go to setup->next -> turn on "auto dimming". that should fix the problem.

Fun with iGo8 when you're bored...

Not sure if everybody knows that you can change the loading screen of iGo8 by replacing the bmp files. Here's mine:

But for the heck of it, I also changed a couple more in the system info screen, which uses different pictures depending on if on day mode or night mode.

Here's my day mode:

Here's my night mode:

I won't argue with you if you think it's pointless, but I thought I'd share anyway. I think it looks cool. LOL

No, the inputs are different, as is the rear view camera. A swap WILL NOT be plug-and-play for those with OEM navigation units.

You can not splice in a plug that fits the flyaudio unit? Maybe a 3.5 mm if it will be one of those. Feels a little unnecessary to install a mic when I already have one. Does anyone know what cables go to the mic?

excuse my bad English, I come from Sweden

Default Flyaudio Nav Unit screen gets stuck in the bottom corner

Hi everyone!

I just recently installed a really great Flyaudio unit into my car this past week! But it's started to act funny =( When I start up the unit, I noticed it'll get "stuck" on the bottom right corner option. As if a ghost hand keeps pushing the bottom right corner of the screen!

It'll actually stop doing that after maybe 5 minutes? Was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and had found a solution to it? It's actually gotten worse over the last couple days...much much thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

I tried this weekend with multiple PNA and PDA versions of Navigon and cannot get it to work....I know there are a lot of members here that have got Garmin and Tom Tom to work and know we have people with the knowledge....please let me know!

Hey guys, I'm having some harness issues with my FlyAudio main harness cable and I need to verify some basic things to troubleshoot it:

When you are plugging the harness cable into the flyaudio (the one with the black connector that fits into the flyaudio that has multiple white connectors on the end), it is all one-for-one plugins except for one. There should be one slot that is not plugged into. I just need to verify which one it is.

If memory serves: all plugs on the harness need to be connected. On the CD changer, there are three slots on the back: a large, small, and medium (in that order). I believe the Large and the Small are both used but the medium is left open. This same Medium plug is connected to the fly audio harness instead.

Is this correct? let me know.
