Yeah, but wav files have headers describing the format of the sound. If you just substitute a 0kb file, you probably have the same errors. In fact, if the programmers check for file existence before opening, it probably would be faster to delete than to have a 0kb file.

Video worked on my 160GB iPod Classic before the firmware update. I assume it still does, but I haven't tried. Video isn't very useful in the car for me.

I did my update with 2 micro-sd's. One 2GB micro-sd and one 4GB micro-sdhc (one for each copy step).

The navigation portion is written by a third party, iGo. Updating that portion may be more difficult for Pioneer. They may have to make a new contract or go through other administrative hassles.

Finally we know why Pioneer thought a 2-minute boot up was okay.

Just updated. The fixes are welcome. Bluetooth works fairly well now. Seems like they turned down the mic sensitivity, so you have to talk a little louder, but it is understandable now. Here a a few things not yet mentioned. When playing music (at least from an ipod) a small album art icon is shown on the map screen. I think this is new. Placing calls still switches to the map screen. Some of my settings were lost on update. I had to set AV1 back to iPod.

Yes, but keep your eyes on the road!

Look at it this way. Since the interface can take several seconds to recognize a keypress, the beep can help you keep your sanity.

The Pioneer GEX-P10HD has 2.5 stars on Amazon. Seems like a lot of people are not happy with the controls when connected to an AVIC-D3. Does anyone here have any opinions on how the receiver works with an F-Series unit?

My 4GB SDHC card works fine. The unit will play XVID from the SD slot, although certain (lower) bitrates work better than others. I encoded a movie to 700MB and it played fine. The same movie encoded to 2GB had a slow framerate and a/v sync issues.

Yes, it has happened a few times on my F700BT when switching from 3D to 2D. Switching back to 3D and then 2D again fixed it.

I have not had music from the SD cut out, but I have had a more annoying and potentially dangerous thing happen on my F700BT while playing music from the SD card. I was playing music from the SD card. The music stopped (I think when it finished playing all mp3s in the folder). The interface completely locked up and was unresponsive. Then there were several half-second blasts of music from the CD source at seemingly full volume (ignoring the current volume set with the knob). This continued at a rate of a half-second blast every 5 seconds or so until the disc eject button was pressed. The e

F-series model: F700BT Phone make/model: Samsung T519 Trace Ease of connection: Moderate. Had to try a few times. Had to turn on bluetooth visibility on my phone and leave it on or it won't connect automatically when I get into the car. Phone book transfer: Partial. Looks like it transfered the names but no numbers. When I select a contact it doesn't do anything. Might be related to dialing issue below. Sound quality: Good on my end, bad for the other party. After adjusting the mic for an optimal position (the close edge of the sun visor), the sound on their end is just tolerab

I installed an F700BT and I am experiencing issues similar to what everyone else has reported. Slow boot times and delayed button presses, poor bluetooth quality, and static-filled voice prompts. I am trying to figure out if I should return the unit for a refund, as recommended by the Pioneer CSR I contacted. The CSR disavowed any knowledge of coming software updates and claimed "it could be a very long time before we have any information to share". The seller (Globazar via Amazon.com) claims to have sold around 100 units without any issues. If it was reported that most units work prop
