Mine seems to be doing this too. I'm going to call the installer on Monday and see if he can take another look. If it's wired right, ABT is getting a call and this thing is going back.
The thieves who stole my D3 got busted and they have recovered the unit so there's a chance I can just get my original D3 back in one piece. I'm strongly considering going back to the D-series at this point.

A fake cover is pointless because you can't cover the knob...plus it would have to stick out..even if only a little...clearly indicating that you're hiding something.
Not true, you just need to set the unit back about a half inch from where it normally would have rested. This unit has a pretty slim profile (the new knob is shorter than the D-series, which helps even though the new knob sucks
)I had my installer fabricate a faceplate out of my Nissan Frontier stock head unit and it looks perfect, I'll post some pics later. There's also a dude on NissanForums.com who has the same setup, he just used a Toyota stock stereo and you'd never know it wasn't stock unless you spent a lot of time trying to study it.
With my windows tinted and alarm sensitivity cranked up, you better not lean on the truck while you're pressing your face up to the glass

Personally, I think it's insane for them to try and charge $130 for the OS update, especially considering it fixes the fact that 2.0 was a poorly coded piece of garbage, and didn't have "Heading Up" in 2D (which was a baseline feature of my D3!)
I don't mind them charging for map data (though I think that too ought to be super cheap) and the "new feature" stuff of 3.0, but the fact is that the F-series owners subsidized Pioneer's development of a new line of nav systems by beta testing half-finished code and living with the frustrations that caused.
My less-than-1-year-old F90BT has totally stopped working now and I'm contemplating putting my D3 back in rather than the F90 at this point. I had always hoped/assumed that I'd eventually get the fix that allowed me to use my GPS map the same way my D3 worked but for $130? No thanks.
