ive heard the inital start up on those takes a minute or two, how long did you wait? my eclipse takes a good 30 seconds the first time its hooked up before it shows "initiating, dont turn off power"

my double din worked wiithout a gps ant, but its not pioneer so im not sure. you mean 2 grounds from the radio or from the factory harness? if its 2 from the deck for some reason, id ground them both. did you have voltage on your ign wire?

as a last resort try hooking it up directly to battery, twist yellow and red and touch to + and ground to - of course, but im thinking doa as well

could be doa, i know some need you to hold the "power' bottons down for 15 sec or so, so it powers ups, and as the grounds, i would test them to make sure there both grounds, and just ground everything

doesnt have a power button, held the main knob down for a while did nothing, waited two minutes, and nothing, called onlinecarstereo and turns out they'll replace it for free. wonder if the parking brake bypass voids my warranty.

na they wouldnt be able to tell how you wired it up,

Did you ever get yours working? I installed an Avic-F90BT in my wife's Lexus over the weekend. Not too awful, just a lot more wiring than a typical radio. Other than a few complaints about the interface, it works very well. Love being able to integrate the phone, navigation, and audio into one system.
