Actually, I quite like that feature: it's my car, so every time several people with cell phones get in the car at the same time with their Bluetooth enabled, it ONLY pairs with my phone. Much BETTER than the VW - as I don't have to turn the ignition off, kill Bluetooth on whichever device I DON'T want to pair with, and then start the car again. That's the process on the VW, and it blows.
I can change whichever phone is paired to the Pioneer, while in motion, without downing the system, at any time I choose - far better in my view.
Maybe I'm not explaining correctly, but in other BT-integrated cars I've owned/driven and in fact with headsets and other devices as well, they can "remember" which devices have been officially paired with them, and then whichever one is closest (or the most recently used, if multiples are present) is the "connected" device.
I've only got two phones paired with my x920BT, I don't expect it to auto-PAIR with my friends phones or the phones of people walking by on the street, but I damn well expect it to CONNECT with phone #2 when phone #1 isn't present, and vice versa. Like every other BT device I've ever used.

The expensive and quite new (2011 model) Bluetooth module in a VW can only connect to one phone at a time, with the same restriction: whoever gets there first. At least that's as far was we've got with our VW. Not quite sure why you'd want more than one phone paired at a time . . . what happens when all four phones ring at the same time?
No, the problem we're having is even with ONE phone in the car it seems to only remember the first phone it was paired with.
So if my wife takes my car to work, it must be manually paired with her phone, then the next day I need to go back into the settings menu and re-select my phone to get mine to work. Unless, apparently, you leave it in Nav mode until it picks a phone. It's pretty silly.

Amazon... $50ish, Pioneer branded & packaged (not to say that it couldn't be counterfeit, I suppose)
I did read enough to steer clear of the obvious bargain ebay cables.
although it appears that they've got it knocked down to $25 now. happy cyber monday?

Where did you buy your iPod cable?

OK I did attempt to search but since "art" is too short, it's tough to find anything relevant.
As I understand from the posts that I have read and the manual, album art should appear on iPod/iPhone sources, but using my iPhone4 I'm not getting any cover art on any of the albums I have tried (and I KNOW I have artwork on all of them!)
Am I screwing something up or do I need to enable anything or is this just a Pioneer idiosyncracy?
Aside from this, I just want to say that I stepped "up" from an Alpine W-505 over the holiday weekend, (I think the Alpine is theoretically a higher-end piece, but the x920 works SO MUCH BETTER at just about everything) and I'm having a blast with my new toy. Yeah, there are some silly things like the VR being tied to the Nav software to start up, and a couple of other oddities, but coming from the Alpine UI which is one of the worst things I've ever had to deal with on a daily basis.
Album cover art on x920BT?

OMG I'm a moron. It appears that my transition to the Pioneer head unit happened in the wake of a recent iTunes library rebuild moving to a new computer. I reloaded all of my music on my iPhone BEFORE iTunes put all the cover art in the tags, so only one or two albums on the iPhone actually had the cover art... it had of course all been updated shortly after, so when I browse iTunes I see artwork for all of these titles, but that never got synced to my phone.
LOL @ me.
