We gonna end this by agreeing to disagree.

You can't make an analogy like that between vehicles that are exponentialy more expensive, just like I can't make one like if I went to In and Out and was comparing a single single burger to a soda, it just makes no sense. With vehicles it gets more creative because of financing options. That's another posibility you can put it on your credit card, and make minimum payments. If the price difference is that much of a deciding factor, someone would go with a D3, which looks like can be picked up for around $300 after rebate. Let's talk prices the 90bt vs CPC-1000. At what point would the Azentek be within the price range of the 90bt? Maybe when it was only a few cents more? I mean if it was like that, I would check my sofa. If it was a few bucks more, I would refrain from spending money on food for a while. If it was a couple hundred more, I would wait for my next pay/stimulus check. And that is all that it realy is, saving 101. Cancel your T.V. service for a month, ride your bicycle around for a month instead of driving your car. I only would say to do so for financial reasons, and never for enviornmental ones. Saving money is easy, just dont spend it.

I can't tell you everything, for lack of time, but I can tell you what it is called, and you can do your own research, Azentek Atlas CPC-1000. I sudgest starting with a google search with a video filter for an easy hook.

If it runs on Windows, it can run on Linux, and mac as well. It's just like any computer, that comes with oem basic software.

Best price for the Avic-F90BT is $984.00 from Al-Eds.com. Best price for Azentek Atlas CPC-1000 $2300.00 http://www.rvsupplywarehouse.com/produc ... m/pid/3957. Comes to 2.34 times the price. Look at what you get, I don't need to list the features of the Avic, because you already should know them all, if you don't they are listed on Pioneer's web site. All the problems with the unit are listed in this forum. And from what I can tell, they won't be fixed until the next gen Avic units, just like the D series, the F series will never be done correctly. Now let's talk about Azentek: starting with the features, let's see, 3sec boot time for the built in bios audio, and maximum wait time on vista boot up is 3 min. Once vista is up the possibilities are limitless. As for future software support, look at any windows operating system support. Let's just agree that the features are limitless. So you can have an avic for approx 42% of the price of an Azentek, with less than 1% of the features and benefits of the Azentek. I would say it is worth the price, because you will never have the urge to buy anything else. Look at all these people that buy the Z D and N series Avic units and are upgrading/downgrading to the F series, and will probably upgrade to another unit in the future. Nothing can beat the Azentek, if you have to save your money for a month to a year, then do it, because what you are buying is hardware, and basic software that is quite advanced. I'll stop ranting, and let you do the research and make your own decision, when you do, there is nothing else out there that will satisfy your needs like the Azentek will

I placed my order with Al-Eds retail store, and after seeing all these issues, I am debating on getting my money back(not sure if I can, I paid in cash) and waiting for the Azentek CPC-1000. If you don't know what it is, I will just tell you it is the end all be all of headunits, and google the name for proof. They estimate a release in august of 2008 so you might as well wait. If the al-eds guy sees this post could you please tell me if there is any way I can get my money back? To everyone else out there wait for the Azentek, you may not of heard of them yet, but they will be everywhere after August.

Is there any way to make her stop dictating the rout on the way, not just muting but turn her off so I can listen to my music without interuptions. Then is there any way to make her not repete what you say when you are using the voice recognition? and finaly is there any way to turn off the blings and dings that are made when you push any button on the unit? I just want to have nav in case I get lost, and have a current eta time, not to yell at me on the stupid shit. Oh and at 10:26 on you'r city demo was that siren coming from the unit or somewhere else, if it did come from the unit please tell me you can deactivate that, unless it is imporntant, like telling you that someone is shooting at you. Thanks, and great review, but still looks like there is a delay with everything just like the Z2. Oh I forgot to ask, can you use your own jpegs/gifs for backgounds?

I dont know if any of you have realized the main drawback to the AVIC-F700BT. If you look at the europe site http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/10/2 ... index.html you will see that there is only 1 pre-out for your (S/W). They kinda Snuck it in there. This is the reason why I will have to go with the AVIC-F900BT. I wanted to ask if anyone has msrp pricing for all the units in the US yet, and if there is anyone on the web that shows them for sale or pre-sale.
