I think this is a red herring. The safety screen isn't a EULA and I can't see them calling it that just to throw hackers off the trail. That's probably left over from some other purpose of the iGo software and not in use here.

Sounds like a great idea! Now, how do we go about making you a moderator/admin around here?

You must have already pursued this, but ... can you use that 'visiblemodel="navigation.distance_to_manuver.valid"' business for the blue boxes and the three times/distances on the lower-left? Or does it only work for the buttons on the right?

There's a feature to correct it, "SLA" (Source Level Adjustment) in the AV Sound settings menu. You can set each source's volume relative to FM. Page 142 of the manual.

I noticed that too. But I think the story is that the originally-released photos of the unit were straight on. I think the site guys took tht photo and made it 3D-looking by rotating it.

That file for "Jill" is just the rules files, not the actual voice data.

MENU, SETTINGS, NAVI SETTINGS, GPS & TIME SETTINGS. Its right there at the bottom, where it says Speed. It registers even in 10ths of a mile per hour leading me to believe that in fact it is reading from the VSS pulse. As that is available even on the F700BT, which doesn't have a speed sensor input, I believe the speed you see at that location is based entirely on GPS. But I could be wrong, I'm admittedly just guessing.

That really wasn't necessary. Is it because I quoted your post that you had to make such an immature remark? I'm not dictating or telling anybody what to do, but these are problems that have been posted already. So why post them again? You're right, the sarcasm wasn't necessary, but it was sort of funny You really were telling someone what to do (me), although you did it with a "please." Thanks for being cordial! And since in the past I've told you what to do, we'll just call it even, I'm good! But only the top 2 were things I've seen posted before, and I even commented on that.

Replying to my own thread, I'm talking to myself. Okay, I get it. They did three things in the second update. 1) They removed the TestMode stuff, so that we wouldn't hack the unit. Oh well, too late. 2) Removed the inappropriate "loading.bmp" image 3) The changed the way the TTS files are delivered. They are the same files though. The original update had them in MiTACAP, the 2nd update in their own TTS directory. I guess it's no big deal.

Okay, now I'm confused. In another thread about fixing lost TTS functions, Stephanie (goddess of the F-series hackery) posted a link to the update installation instructions on Pioneer's website, and I took a look, and I see directions that are quite different than the ones I used. I downloaded the update the first day it was released, on July 21st. I actually didn't get around to INSTALLING the F-series until recently though. When I installed it, I used the update that I downloaded 7/21. The instructions I downloaded then didn't have a TTS folder at the top level, and the TTS functi

Thanks guys. Neither approach worked for #1 last night. Even rebooting it still resulted in the 3D map being fixed, and the arrows still in place. However, this morning when I booted it up and drove to work, it came up normally. I guess it was just a bug. On #3, let me just be clear -- it's actually the case that when you're on the phone, you can't do anything with the touch screen?

F700BT. Purchased pre-update, but update was applied immediately after installation last weekend. Of course, the first two are well known and oft-discussed, and yes, I know about the hacking effort that's been done to remove the boxes. 1) Boot time! 2) Annoying blue boxes. Yes, I've seen the post about hacking the unit to remove them. 3) System occasionally reboots immediately after the first boot in the morning. Takes double the time to get started. 4) While navigating, screen went totally blank today. Radio still playing. Did not respond to any controls, including the volume

I've had my F700BT installed for a couple of weeks now. I have read the manual many times. Yet, some things still confuse me. I don't think these are software bugs (I have a pretty big list of those too, even after the update has been applied), these are just things I can't seem to figure out how to use. 1) In 3D mode, if you tap the map, you get to rotate and tilt the map. How do you get it back to "normal?" How do you get rid of the adjustment arrows? 2) In 3D mode, you can tap the map and fix it on the point where you tap. If you keep driving, the arrow moves but the map do

I must be a complete iPhone newb (just got mine last week). How do I start the contacts transfer from the iPhone 3G? Did you ever figure this out? Because it doesn't seem to transfer for me either.

How about one more?

I ordered my F700BT from Crutchfield on 6/16, and it still sits in the box for these same reasons. If I don't see any improvement by the users on this forum by 7/16, back to Crutchfield it goes.

Which Fry's was that?

Waiting anxiously to hear! Good bluetooth connectivity with my iPhone (1st-gen, of course) is important, and if it doesn't work, I'll return my F700 before I even install it (it's been sitting in the box for over a week.)

I bought an AVIC-F700BT from Crutchfield and received it this week. But it's still sitting in the box instead of in my dashboard, because I'm paralyzed by all of the negative feedback here. You guys have scared me out of this product. So maybe you experts can help me figure out if there's something better. The story is that I just recently bought a car without in-dash nav, for the first time in a while. I've always used factory systems, never any of the aftermarket. What I want is, I thought, pretty simple: good touch-screen navigation, excellent bluetooth phone integration with
