  1. I have had a F90BT installed in my 2007 Dodge Charger for several years. I never had a problem connecting my 80gb iPod Classic or my iPod Touch (model without the camera). Several months ago, it simply quit recognizing either iPod. No message appears on the in-dash display, no music plays...it's as though the iPod isn't connected. I am able to connect with an aux cable plugged into the front of the deck (and changing to AV1), but I really miss being able to use the on-screen controls and voice commands. I tried replacing the iPod interface cable, but nothing changed. Has anybody encountere
  2. Yes, 3.0 adds some new MSN fuctions....BUT....Pioneer missed the boat again, in my opinion. I wish they would have added the traffic speeds and doppler maps. Instead, we'll have a useless stock report and a news feed that I will not use as I typically keep my eyes on the road rather than read.
  3. I sent the following email to Pioneer: "I am the not so proud owner of an AVIC-F90BT. While I anxiously await the 3.0 firmware upgrade so hopefully the unit will perform better, I find it disgusting that in spite of all the problems these units have had and continue to have, I will need to pay $130 for the update. Pioneer should provide these updates for free to existing owners because you sold us very buggy units while claiming they were a "Premiere" product. Shame on Pioneer." I received the following reply from Pioneer today: "There will be a free update made available to AVIC F serie
  4. I am having the exact same problem. Sometimes when I start the car, no audio from any source. Turn the car off, open/close the door, start car again and everything works. Also, occassionally, my ipod audio only comes from the left side (no work around found for that yet). I have been told I may have a bad bus. Guess I need to find a shop.
  5. I have a month old F90BT. A few days ago, my voice recognition stopped working. No matter what screen I'm on, pressing the volume knob does not initiate the VR. Any ideas or suggestions? VR was a major selling point to me. Starting to wish I waited for the Kenwood DNX9140 to come out that will have VR, including for navigation.
  6. Wow. The DNX9140 sounds ultra sweet. I've had my F90BT for about a month or so. Starting to wonder if I should have waited.
  7. I used AVIC-FEEDS to create a small POI file with about a dozen locations. For each location, I have the long/lat, name, phone, address, and some additional notes in the description field. I copied the file to my USB drive. However, my F90BT is only displaying the names of the POIs. If I select a POI from this file, I am shown a blank screen (no map) and no option to create a route. Has anybody else run into this problem?
  8. I don't think it's a loose wire because when it happens, I can turn the car off and on and get the sound back, without even moving. So it's not like a wire gets jarred back into place to get the sound. I'll have the pro check it out next week. Might just be a bad harness.
  9. Sounds reasonable, Diane. All I know is that with my Classic, my artwork is flawless, whether it's the thumbnail or the larger view. More than likely, I would think this may be a case of garbage in/garbage out. Unless of course the touches and phones are trashing the graphics.
  10. Haven't resolved it yet. I spoke to the company that did my install for me and they think there may be an issue with the Metra wire harness they used. When I find the time, I need to make an appointment with them to get it checked out next week. Does anybody out there know if I would have better results with a PAC harness? Any suggestions?
  11. I've got an 80Gb Classic and have no problems at all with the artwork. 99% of my artwork was obtained from either allmusic.com or Rhapsody.
  12. Works flawlessy for me. Sound level and quality are fine.
  13. A simple search of the manual reveals the answer that you seek. Per the manual, the USB file system supports is FAT16 and FAT32.
  14. My suggestion would be to buy a F90BT from 6th Avenue Electronics via amazon.com (currently $640). Bear in mind that amazon has a cheaper price ($10 less) through another retailer but 6th ave is an authorized Pioneer dealer so the 2 year warantee stays intact. I got mine 3 or 4 weeks ago for $627 and it arrived in 3 days time (free shipping too). Ordered on a Sunday, in my hands on Wednesday. At $640, it's still a great deal imho.
  15. I have an 80Gb iPod with many tracks of different artists that have the same album name. When I use the iPod voice commands for Album selection, it seems to work every time if the album name is unique. However, something like "Play the Album X" with the intent of getting the latest Trace Adkins album gets me Def Leppard's album because both artists have an album named "X". (Can't even think of using Play the album Greatest Hits). Is there a way to string together voice commands for Artist and Album? I've tried many times with no success. Has anybody found a way to get the iPod voice comman
  16. Kind of a newbie here, but what is the class rating on your SD card? Perhaps your using a slow SD card? I bought a 4Gb class 6 card for $14 but haven't tried it yet. I may be way off base here, but wouldn't the class of the card have an effect?
  17. You can also plug in a USB flash drive for playing music/video files or uploading files including custom splash screens.
  18. Still can't get this to work. I have assigned a specific category to each of the numbers that I want to transfer to the F90BT. However, transferring still gets my entire address book. I have tried multiple times/ways. I will try my latest and last effort later today. I'm thinking that maybe if I back up my address book, delete all entries I do not want in the car, transfer the numbers, and then restore the back up. Any other thoughts or suggestions? It is maddening to have to scroll through over a hundred entries to locate 1 of less than ten that I need while driving.
  19. Sadly, I have no idea. I have a Dodge Charger that came with a Boston Acoustic speaker package. Merely had the head unit swapped out (installed by a pro).
  20. I have a F90BT. All was fine until a few days ago. Now, about 10-20% of the time, when I start the car, after the boot up I have no sound from anything. iPod, XM, Nav, menus...nothing. If I shut the car off and start it back up, most of the time all is well and the sound is back. I've only had the unit for less than a month. Are they that buggy? I have not done any modding other than uplaoding a custom splash screen. Any ideas? Oh, and like many others I get an occasional reboot for no apparent reason. That's a minor thing. But to have no sound at all until I pull over and restart the car
  21. Thank you!. I did not realize that setting/option was there. Looked for it before, must have over looked it. Santa came early. Thanks again!
  22. That was just wrong. Nothin' but coal in captainstabbin's stockin' this year.
  23. I've searched high and low but can't find a suitable graphic of the Molly Hatchet banner to make a splash screen from. Has anybody come across one?
  24. I have many contacts in my address book that I only need when I'm at my desk. So I use Outlook contact categories to filter my contacts list on my Blackberyy Pearl 8130 so I only see a list of "personal" contacts when I'm away from the office. Is there a way to only import certain categories into my F90BT? It is quite frustrating trying to find one of about a dozen personal numbers amongst literally hundreds of business related contacts. Is there is a way to only import certain categories or numbers, or to filter the list once imported?
  25. Wow, you bought a F900BT for $636 2 weeks ago from amazon. I bought a F90BT 8 days ago from amazon for $627. Brand new, with the ipod cable and 4v pre-outs. Prices were dropping like a rock. But now it's up to $650 for the 90 and $637 for the 900. Still great prices though.
