Bummer on the Mazda specific customization - but thanks for answering the question. That's a sweet setup you've got there. Have you figured out how to get around the lock-out when you are in motion on the F500BT?

Excellent review. I have been looking at the F500BT now for a long time for many of the reasons you mentioned. I have an 08 Saturn Vue Redline and I am very curious to know where you got your custom dash kit for the unit for as this is my primary concern. You look to have a very beautiful setup with the unit tucked away when not in use. Can you please share where you got the custom dash kit and any other info on installing the device you might have to offer? Also, did you use the integration amplifier that Pioneer sells? How is this attached to your speakers/head unit? Thanks in

Hi All, Don't see much on this board for this unit and I am strongly considering purchasing one since I can't really mess with my stock head-unit (08 Saturn Vue with Onstar) because I will screw up Onstar functionality and other lighting accessory power features that are routed through the stock head unit. If you have the F500BT please use this thread to talk about your general issues, concerns, install/usage experiences. If there is already another thread on this topic, (not a specific issue topic for the F500) please feel free to delete this post (forum moderators). Thanks!

I am considering buying the F500BT because I have an Onstar equipped 08 GM Vehicle (Saturn VUE) and I can't really install an in-dash system without totally screwing up the Onstar features (routed through the stock head unit) or having to pay an arm and a leg to re-wire everything to keep my Onstar. I am planning to get wire this into the head unit with the ND-G500 4-Channel Gateway Audio Integration Amplifier - but want to know if doing so will mean I have to have the parking brake set in order to input a destination/use the navigation features/watch video etc? Can anyone who has the
