Go to a local Best Buy almost at closing time and ask them to pop off the front bezel (should do it for $20), you can undo wires and remove it. Park in the back by the loading docks, they will usually say yes if they can walk to your car in under 20 secs. Then send it back, Registered Mail. Wait the 2 weeks. Reinstall it yourself, without the HU in, getting the bezel back off should be easier.

All, The features previously in the original HU didn't really warrent me signing up for a MSN Direct subscription and the icons got rather crazy all over the screen, when routing. I just emailed Pioneer and MSN and I'll follow-up with a call to each later, for an additional trial reactivation for update 3.0. I wanted to test out the new features after I made the jump. I'll post any information I get from all this, but I could use some help bugging them about this!

SEARCH: Rear Monitors... - Or ask your local custom sounds dealer, make it seem like your going to buy the HU and a rear Monitor from them, but you don't know which one to choose, or capabilities of the HU. Get the info and run! - Or wait for some useful advise...

Double Check Your Grounds/Connections and Double Check Your Bypass!

Follow the instructions, when everything is done, yes remove the SD card...

As soon as 3.0 comes out I'll definately update. There are some out there that will probably do the same, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Feedback on 3.0 will come eventually. Traffic Flow, Exit Panels, etc... better than not having it. This is a huge presumption but, I figure if 3.0 works for the F-series, the rest of the updates for the X-Series would work as well.... ? So, you'll possibly have to conform to Pioneer's way.... or keep rebeling and risk bricking you HU and have to buy a X-series eventually. The only snag is the new DVD reader on the X-series, an upd

gruvncubn Honestly does anyone search or browse the thread lists? So much time is wasted, with these back and forth, repetitive Q/A sessions. Questions about the hardware differences, Read this Thread.... http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=24318 foreverbfc Street Customs opened a new shop in Berlin, 1st project was a Smart Car for Wladimir Klitschko. They put the New X-Series Pioneer. Is that double-name drop enough to get one?

I use 1 Click DVD Pro w/DVD43 to rip (backup) DVDs. This will get you a (*.vob) file that's about 1 gb. I then use ULEAD Movie Factory to process the (*.vob) files into a workable 700 mb (*.mepg). Vwa-la! I archive this file for future watching or for firends and delete the original (*.vob) because of the file size. It's identical to the original, perfectly. I use Total Video Converter for any format changes, from the above mentioned process. (I.e. mpeg, avi, etc...) This may seem like a lot to go through but, I usually rip any DVD I get anyway. Well this is what I use and I h

Deja-Vu.....

Can you believe this freaking pillow biter. - If he searches like most noobs do, I'm surprised we was even able to find the "Post" button. - Can spell out the AV Model number but, hates the word question. And won't use the word ass. Guess you don't like Southpark? (???'s WTF) - Doesn't know how to use the BOLD FUNCTION. - And for his very first post he's already using terms like dick and homo.... that's just gay! - Lastly I don't take anyone serious that uses the word "Fret". (mmmmK) Other than that I can't think of anything else say about this water-head mofo.

Sure it didn't look like this. Sorry about the spelling guys!!

Everyone knows there are not the exact same two consumer products made out there, even paried Memory is off a bit, there are no two Gummy Bears that are identicle, and there are not two pairs of pants that fit the same. Your argument is so bias that it unreal. Unless you've owned 2-700's and compared them, or have alot of history with Ivarious in-Dash Nav. systems you are 100% in the wrong to go on this crusade to help the little people out there. You are left with just trying to make yourself feel better for the (in your eyes) crap pruchase you just made. gdiviney, also "Never

Calm down Cochise. Some just have bad people skills. No Idea where to buy the Sirius wiring though?

Or in other terms...... a paperweight!
