SD card is listed on the European website though - http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/3 ... specs.html

This is very disappointing. They don't seem to have added any info to their website about v3.0 since your original post

Guys,

I've just updated to firmware x1900.

It now mutes the volume of the audio source when you approch a speed camera location - much easier to hear the beeps now!

Cheers

Hacking for the win lol!

Good idea though - please post instructions, that would be superb.

I don't think the SWI-PS needs the mute wire as you only make one connection from the SWI-PS to the unit.

I think the mute wire is in-case you have some other AV equipment in your car that might need the AVIC to mute - say some other sort of telephone equipment etc.

I'm in the UK mate and haven't found a way of changing the alerts.

I agree, with music on they are very hard to hear.

I also don't understand the display when you near a camera, it shows the distance to the camera which is fair enough but it always seems to list speed at 0 mph - is that perhaps the speed you are over the limit?

Cheers.

That's a nice looking install - very clean.

I didn't know what a Honda Fit was - we call that the Honda Jazz in Europe.

Cheers.

It appears the European version is going to be called "Navgate Feeds"

My European F700BT came with a years subscription to download the location of speed cameras, both mobile and fixed - does the US version not have this?

I've got an F700BT, not a 900.

I've never used a USB stick and never likely too so I can't confirm if mine operates in the same way. It doesn't resume my iPod though!

Cheers.

My latest version European firmware is:

Map Version - 01.000600

Version - 1.001500

Europeans has some problems as US models, slow navigation, scratchy voice, etc...

True - TTS voice is scratchy but the non-TTS voice is perfect.

We don't seem to be suffering the problems that that US guys did with the original firmware.

 

so why would the european models need an update if they never had the problems the american models had?

I editted my earlier post - it appears I may have the latest (but European) firmware.

Because European models are not the same.

 

someone on the forum talk about RF frequency, do you think it's the only limitation ?

 

Thx

No, the European and US units differ signifcantly.

We (Europeans) don't have voice control, XM Radio, HD Radio etc.

We don't seem to be suffering the problems that that US guys did with the original firmware.

Additionally,

In addition, all existing AVIC-F Series inventory that has been updated with the new firmware by Pioneer will have a blue dot on the product box (next to the serial number)

My European version has this blue dot on the box.

Cheers.

I think it does as there's a picture of a Paris map on the box showing the Arc de Triomphe in 3D.

The UK car already has that bracket fitted for other reasons so I'll probably mount my GPS antenna on top of it.

Cheers.

I got my iphone 3g to play audio and video through the pioneer cable.

This was a UK F700BT.

The iPhone regarded the headunit as a unsupported accessory though and everything went pear shaped when I call came into the iPhone (not paired with the headunit with the parrot bluetooth).

Cheers.

That's on a 2006 STi though - right?

Is the clock in the same place as the 2008?

Cheers.

Hi Guys,

Where have you all decided to hide the GPS antenna?

I have the UK version, so no XM to try to hide too.

Cheers,

Alan

Uk units don't have voice control - could this affect the harness?

yeah, from Scotland and it's a brand new unit. Only landed in the UK earlier this week.

I missed your earlier message and I've already installed it in the car - it seems to work fine.

that's where I've put it hifisi - cheers mate

Cool, i've put it in the location 4 from the end - it's still two away from the blue cable that everyone else seems to have which would seem good.

I just seem to have less cables than everyone else!

here are the pics

You'll see i've already taken the mute wire out.

Any ideas where I should put the mute wire now?

Still the in the same location as everyone else, even though it won't be between two black cables?

Cheers.

it doesn't mate - hold on and I'll post a pic.

I've got an F700 and my harness is different from the one in the picture!

There is a space on the bottom row between two black wires, but that space is on 2 pins in from the outside.

Should I just try it in here?

Cheers.
