Yes, I just got this unit and installed it today. The reason for this is this unit isn't capable of playing the ipods. You have to put the music on a flash drive to use the usb function. Which to me wasn't a big deal because I only use my ipod in my car anyway. The bv9999bi is the newer model of this unit and can play ipods. But i wasn't going to send this one back to get that one cause then I would have to pay for reinstallation when I could just put the songs on a flash drive. I love this unit btw.

sounds like a loose connection on the aux input. boss has a pretty bad reputation for there usb / aux connections inside the unit. also if your right rear and right dont play on anything its bc you have them turned down. or if this is recently installed they got mixed up. please let me know more details so i can better help you

you can't watch a video on the system unless the parking brake is on. you have to buypass the parking brake system in order to have a video on while driving

U have a button on the remote.

The only way the BV9970 will work with an ipod is by using a male male phono lead, from the headphone socket in the ipod to the AUX in on the front of the stereo.

it should be a blue/white wire.

• These units have a lock out wire on them that will not allow the screen to come out to watch DVD's while the car is moving. So while you are driving down the road the screen will not come out. This is a factory set safety wire.

did you hook up your r.c. cables from your amp to the r.c.a. output of the stereo

There could be a few things wrong with it. The first thing I would do is check the ground wire. It should be solidly connected to a paint-free surface of your vehicle that is connected to the chassis. The next thing I would check is the connection between the power wire lead from the vehicle and the lead from the head unit. If neither of those are the problem, the only other thing it could be (other than a faulty wire somewhere along the power circuit, which can be tested for using an ammeter) is a lack of power to the power wire lead from the car. Test that wire using an ammeter and make sure it is receiving power.

the parking brake wire must be connected to the parking brake system of you car. When the parking brake is engages, the LCD will be allowed to view your video. If not, the screen will produce an image saying, parking brake. this is a feature designed for the driver not to watch a video while driving. The video output on this unit will not be affected by this, el wire to connect is Pink - parking brake. this is wire connect with ground.
