This has turned into quite a nightmare.

I went back to my dealer and they ordered me a new unit. After it was put in the locator was exactly the same - end of the pointer always half a block ahead when zoomed close.

I called Pioneer and they suggested moving the antenna to the back of the carm on the rear deck, where my Sirius antenna is. When they did the test, just driving around with the cable out the window and the antenna temporarilly sticked on the back, it was fine. As soon as they glued it down and hid the antenna wire through my car, it was back the way it started.

I am at a loss to figure out what to do. Is it possible that parts of the car can interfere with Nav calibration? Pioneer says No.

It's come down to the dealer thinking I am a crazy customer and Pioneer having nothing new to tell me. I thought of changing to the Kenwood high end one but it's Ipod control is crap compared to the AVIC.

Seems the pointer on the map is always ahead of where I am. My real location is about toward the end of the arrow; hard to get used to when approaching a corner and the pointer shows me past it. It also is slow to register turns. Ugraded from AVIC-N4 which was lock tight in locating. I updated the firmware and everything else is fine. Is there a way to calibrate the GPS or is anyone else noticing this?

As mentioned in this forum post:

My new AVIC-N4 has the same menu button issue as the D3 had. Still much better than the N3 which I just dumped which did not work at all. Pio Tech Support told me the Ipod configuration was taken from the D3 but looks much better than the N3.

I also got the Bluetooth Connector but it doesn't like my Treo 755p or vice versa. about to get that one sorted out somehow.
