I just spoke to a pioneer representative and they told me the AVIC-F500BT did not have any problems and did not need the firmware update like the rest of the AVIC units. Should I believe her and just go ahead and buy it? I would like to believe her but I dont. I am certain there is going to be a bug somewhere and feel its too good to be true. I guess I can just buy it and return it if I have problems. Anyone else have the AVIC-F500BT? Thanks.

Just like the title says, I am new to this forum and have been reading countless info on all the avic's but this one. I am thinking about buying the AVIC-F500bt because I want to use it for ipod and navigation and I like the fact that I can hide it so it wont be exposed like the other AVIC models. Anyhow, my question would be, will this unit have the same NAVIGATION and IPOD problems found in the other AVIC units? I noticed pioneer has no software update for this unit so does that mean its in tip-top shape (doubt it). The price on the 90BT has dropped significantly and it is tempting
