I got the 7100 with BT, Sirius, and iPod options several months ago on this GREAT deal.
It sometimes seems to think that it cannot find either (rarely both at the same time) the Sirius or iPod. It will allow me to select it from the main screen but will not function correctly (i.e. select a station or control the iPod) from there. The only workaround is to turn the car off and back on and some times that will allow it to work.
At first this was not that big of a deal, but lately I am finding that it is happening a little more frequently.
Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions for me?
Thanks,
-Dave

Wow
I just contacted Garmin about getting a map update. $140.00
I figured you just download it off a website or something.
The software ver updates are free it seems. But map updates are not.
Just wanted to throw that out there for people who didnt know.
Still contemplating if the map update is worth it.................
Will be updating my software version tomorrow. (but doest seem like any significant changes except for the day light savings update.)

However you can use a wired camera and hook it up to the Video In input.
Wiring it up should be an easy task.

i was just wondering does this unit lag when you have a mp3 cd in the unit? Lag meaning that it lags when you try to stroll thru the music, go to the next track. Things like that.

I'd like to know if anybody updated their map and if its worth it. I think the fact that they don't really list too much details as to what upgrade comes with it, make it seem not worth the money to upgrade.

Also, does this unit only work with Ipod video and Nano? I can't seem to get my 60g regular music ipod to connect to the unit, it keep saying "disconnected".

I have my 7100 set up with the iPod cable... can I copy images to the iPod, and from there to the 7100?
Thx for any help with this!

I had the unit professionally installed, but they neglected to run the USB cable outside the dash
Is there no other way to transfer JPG files to use as backgrounds? I.e. from a CD or from an iPod via the iPod cable?

The only thing I can guess is that you got into a function that only the R & D knows about.
Hold down [Nav] key and [Volume Down] key at the same time, while pressing the reset button (its in a little hole on the front panel). The system will reboot and after that you get stepping in 500Hz i.e., you step 91.45, 91.50, 91.55 etc. I had to do it twice, but its working fine now....

to get the nav voice louder there are settings in the av system menu (or somewhere, not in the nav portion) that allows you to set the level of the voice. I think that the default value is around 20, in my truck that is a good level.
I also think that portions of the bluetooth are disabled if you are not in park (or havent bypassed the unit). i also know that you can turn the volume of the call up using the up/down hard buttons when you are making/on a call and it remembers that volume.

Just installed my DNX7100, i love it!! Does anyone have any jpeg background images they made?
Also how do you get the SD card slot to show? When I eject the unit, it doesn't slide down low enough to put in the SD card for the updates.
