Installation was easy, just sprayed a mild soap solution to both sides of the screen protector, used an old credit card to smooth out the bubbles. Not noticed any difference to the responsiveness of the touchscreen, only had it fitted for a few weeks, all is well so far

I installed my unit at the weekend and the power cord (left handside of photo) has definately been cut. The power cord i used had another multi-block at the other end of the lead, and i would say that the lead i used was twice as long as the one you have. Have a look at the installation manual and you'll see what i mean about the other multi-block at the opposite end. The RCA leads on the right of the photo look ok. Can you not take it back to the shop and get them to order you a replacement lead.

Installed unit today, upon checking which firmware i had i found that the unit was using Version 1.9. (EU spec) Box had an Orange dot though. Just finished downloading 2.0, will update it tomorrow.

You could enable the startup Password option, then when they start your car all they get is the enter password. When you get your car back you can disable it again.

Cheers cranbers, Saves me the hassle of downloading the firmware & trying to get it to install.

Have bought one for my F900BT, not fitted it yet as the unit is still boxed at the moment. Got it from www.protechyourdevice.com , cost $9.99 with free delivery, UK included.

Have just bought an EU spec F900BT, it has an Orange Dot by the serial number. Not had chance to install it yet to check what firmware it has. No big 2.0 sticker on the outside as i have seen on the US units. Would this be the latest firmware for a EU spec unit?

Had my unit turn up yesterday, AVIC-F900BT, European Spec. Manufactured date was June 2008 and the box has an Orange dot by the serial number. Hopefully it will have the latest firmware by the look of things, but i'll do a check when its installed.

Hi Mat, Spoke to someone at the store before i ordered the unit, they will be enclosing a stamped up voucher with my order. Did lots of searching on the Pioneer website for participating dealers, some dealers said they would not include the ipod voucher while it was in their sale price, would have to wait for their sales to end before they would give out any vouchers. Think the dealer i bought it from is the best price at the moment, have stopped searching now though, just incase i find someone better.

Waited til the new year to see what 'special offers' were available. Best offer i have found for an F900BT is £609.99 from audio66.com, plus Pioneer send you a free IpodTouch when you register it. Offer is only available at selected retailers & it finishes 31st Jan. Can't wait til it gets delivered next week, just hope the weather warms up a bit so i can have a go at installing it next weekend.

Have read through many threads over the last couple of days and i think its probably best to stick with purchasing a UK spec model. I hadn't realised that the FM tuner was different and had forgotten that the dvd coding would be region 1, many thanks for that. One thing that i'm a bit puzzled over is why the UK version does not have the voice control option, this was one of the main things that was making me choose this particular model, all the Youtube videos i've seen must be US model. Has anyone been able to get the UK version 'modded' to get the voice control working? Many tha

Pedyo, have you decided whether to go for the US version yet? I definately want a F900BT, but there is a considerable cost saving by going for the US version, plus the voice commands work too, they're disabled on the UK version for some strange reason. Do you know how much would be added for imports taxes? Many thanks.
