If you don't get it then it probably means that you have a unit that isn't the N3 or Z1. In which case, sorry but you're out of luck.

Ipod interface improvements, probably not. None of the n3 improvements were available for the n1/n2. hmm, what do u mean by no n3 improvements were avialable? i upgraded my n1 -> n3 via updated discs. it updated the user interface, menus loaded faster, and had small updated features like which lane to stay in when anticipating an exit. I meant none of the n3 ipod improvements work on the n1/2.

Okay I'm just gonna keep attaching on to this thread. My question now: Sometimes it seems that the GPS gets completely lost and I end up on a different road them I actually am. Is there a way to tell the nav to reset itself and redetermine my location?

Well they just hooked it up. Everything works fine. I think the night mode looks really cool. Especially in drivers view where it switches from the clouds to the stars. Glad I pushed the issue with them.

Yeah you have to hit back. It can be annoying sometimes. I don't know why, but when I try to search in my town of "Huntington", when I type it in half way, the system automatically fills in the word "Huntingtn", and my only options are "Huntingtn Station" or something, which is a different part of town (which is not spelled Huntingtn so I don't know why the nav does that).

Ipod interface improvements, probably not. None of the n3 improvements were available for the n1/n2.

Those 3d maps look awesome. IT would be nice to get those on updates for the previous systems.

I have a CD changer, and on my N3 you can view a list of songs if you have a CD that has CD text on it already. Most CDs that you buy don't come with CD text, but CDs you burn usually burn with it.

Yes. You don't have to wait for the unit to completely finish booting up before you can start driving. Just hit accept whenever you want.

Yeah well seeing things on ebay before they're actually released is nothing new. How come its not on pioneers site yet?

Too bad they didn't have a nav system.

I've debated getting an alarm system, but I doubt it would hlp. I haven't had anything stolen from inside my car, but I've had the outside vandelized. A security system won't prevent my car from being keyed.

Press the "Disp" button on the left hand size of the small display panel. It will cycle through everything you can display

I noticed on my N3 that it will display white dots on the map to represent places that I've driven, and the density of those dots increases in areas that I drive frequently. I was just curious as to the point of this feature. Is it just random and for the driver's benefit?

Like I said in the first post, a system folder on my hard drive. Something out of the windows root directory I think.

So are you planning on having two separate GPS computers running in your car?

I thought that was just an infrared reciever for a remote, cool.

The n3 has a light sensor? Wow, learn new things every day

Ok maybe killed was too strong. Nevertheless it didn't work, what happened?

I have multiple .jpg pictures that I want to put on my n3 as a background. I burned them to a cd in a folder called "bg", and I put 100+ mb of random crap onto the CD, I think it was the root folder for a game or something. Anyway, I put the cd in the n3, on the screen is says "Reading Format" and I just keep hearing the laser move and click around trying to read it. All of a sudden, the entire unit goes dead. It turns back on again with a black screen and in little white letters at the top "PIoneer navigation is starting up" or something to that effect. I then got the cd out of there and

Yeah so I was nearby today and I stopped in and talked to them. The guy there said it should have been done, and I made an appointment. They probably got lazy and figured I'd never notice.

Okay thanks. I'm going to go down there in person tomorrow and discuss it. Do you have the link of where you found that info?

TJDEHYA: Those jeep ones look great, they're gonna go in my car tomorrow. Thanks. :lol:

This shop called audio planet. They always seemed to know what they were doing... Wheres ctrlyver or whatever when I need him?

Okay so I talked to the shop that installed my car. They said that my car does not have a dimmer in it, so they weren't able to hook up the illumination connection normally. They said if I really wanted it then they'd have to hook up a relay to the headlights, and it would cost more money to do and possibly void my warranty. Is this true? And if so, how do I manually put this thing into night mode?
