I'm trying to find out if DVD+R Dual Layer discs are supported by the F90BT. I see in the manual where it says it supports DVD-R Dual Layer discs, but nothing about DVD+R Dual Layer. Does that mean DVD+R Dual Layer discs are not supported by the F90BT? I'm asking because all I can find around here are DVD+R and need to burn a few movies that require Dual Layer discs. Thanks in advance!

Awesome, thanks!

I have a F90BT in my car and just bought a 120 gig iPod Classic that I'm going to hook up to it. I finished ripping all of the music I want on my iPod and it has 2,808 songs 8:19:00:44 time (22.46 GB) worth of music on it. I created about 35 playlists. I did not put any photos, audiobooks, podcasts, videos, or movies on it. How long will it take my F90BT to build it's iPod VR catalog?

I copied the Phonebook I sent to my AVIC-F90BT from my BlackBerry Curve 8310 to an SD Card after booting to Test Mode, copied that file to my PC, and then edited it using the application discussed in this thread. I proceeded to copy the edited file from my PC to an SD Card, booted the AVIC-F90BT into Test Mode, copied the from from SD Card to the AVIC flash drive (to the proper location). While my Contacts are much better organized now, VR does not work with them. When I press MULTI-CONTROL, wait for it to come up, say "Call Mom mobile", the AVIC-F90BT says something along the lines of "There is no phone connected" or "There is no phone available". But I go into the Phone Settings and see that my BlackBerry Curve 8310 is connect to the AVIC-F90BT via Bluetooth. I then go into Contacts, scroll to my Mom's Mobile number which is in the database as Mom mobile, press the icon for that number and it starts dialing. I hang up and press MULTI-CONTROL again, wait for it to come up, and say "Call Mom" only to receive the same response from the AVIC-F90BT..."There is no phone available.". I can receive calls on the AVIC-F90BT using Bluetooth and the reception is perfectly fine. I was able to use VR before I edited the Phonebook database using the application discussed in this topic. What gives?

 

did you turn on VR indexing in the system settings? you might need to allow that to run one time to update the VR to the new contacts. then turn it back off after its updated. might help, might not, but hey, what could it hurt to allow it to run one time.

I looked in System Settings and didn't see anything about VR indexing. There is a setting for VR Catalog Mode in the AV System Settings menu and that is set to "On". Where is this VR indexing in System Settings?

I created 4 custom POI's using AvicFeeds. I wasn't able to get them all into one KML file, instead they went into separate files. I couldn't figure out how to get them into one, which I don't think is a big deal, but it would be nice, so if anyone knows how to do this, let me know.

My main question is how do I upload these custom POI's to my AVIC-F90BT? I looked through the manual and didn't anything.

The F90BT has connected automatically with my BlackBerry everytime since I posted this. I don't know why as I didn't change any settings. Any ideas on my other questions?

My F90BT was installed in my car this weekend and I've been playing aorund with it. I've noticed a couple of things with the Bluetooth connectivity with my AT&T BlackBerry Curve 8310 running O/S 4.5.0.110.

1. I have both the F90BT and my BlackBerry setup for automatic detection and connection, but in the approximately 15 times I've started my car up (in turn, powering up the F90BT) the two have only automatically connected once. Is there a trick to getting this to work all the time?

2. Also, it took me several attempts to transfer my phone book from my BlackBerry to the F90BT. It would transfer partway, then the F90BT would power down and restart on its own. Anyone know why this happened?

3. The last time everything transferred over, but not the way I'd like them to be in the F90BT. Is there a way to edit the Contacts on the head unit?

4. Some Contacts are in there multiple times. For instance if I have a home and a mobile number for John Smith which are both stored under John Smith in my BlackBerry, I have 4 Contacts in the F90BT: Smith John Home, Smith John mobile, John Smith home, and John Smith mobile. I have 123 Contacts in my BlackBerry, each with multiple phone numbers. The F90BT documentation I read states it supports up to 400 entries with each Contact having up to 3 phone numbers. I have less than 400 phone numbers, but would prefer not to go through each of them and edit them just so they will look the way I want them to in the F90BT. Any tips or tricks on transferring from the BlackBerry I have to the F90BT?

I just got my F90BT installed and am having the same problem with my 8GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro. In my previous vehicle I had a Sony head unit that wouldn't recognize this particular device either.

Limited storage has always been the reason I've never purchased an iPod or any other MP3 player for that matter. I'm into music big time and have almost 450 GB of compressed tunes on my external music drive. That's a lot of rock and roll, but it's what I listen to. If this works, I'm all over it.

Sell the Blue Oval and get a quieter car like a Hyundai

Great idea. I love rice burners.

I recently ordered a Pioneer Premier AVIC-F90BT for my 2006 Ford Mustang GT which has the stock Shaker 500 system still in it. I have been doing some research on what wiring harnesses and adapters I may need to do the install and have found conflicting information. Crutchfield says I need the PAC C2R-FRD1. One local install shop agrees with them. Another local install shop says I don't need it. Some web forum posts say I need the Metra 70-5521. Other posts say I need the Metra 70-5511. Some say I need a RCA Y adapter. My local install shops say the F90BT does not support Ford's Volume Speed Sensing feature, yet I've found posts that say it does. I don't know who to believe. I want to do this myself, so here are my requirements.

1. Retain the Ford Accessory Delay feature where the F90BT will stay on for up to 10 minutes or until a door is opened.

2. Retain the Ford Volume Speed Sensing feature where the F90BT automatically increases its volume as the vehicle increases speed. This is not important, but is nice because you get quite a bit of engine and road noise inside a Mustang GT and I don't want to have to keep raising and lowering the volume as I speed up and slow down in traffic.

3. No "pop" sound when the F90BT is powered on.

4. All of the features in the F90BT function fully.

I will not be replacing the stock speakers or amps at this time. What wiring harness(es) and/or adapters will I need to install the F90BT in my 2006 Ford Mustang GT while getting all of the things I listed above?

I've heard conflicting information on Pioneer's 2 year warranty on the AVIC-F90BT. If you buy it from a store front, you're convered with Pioneer's 2 year warranty on the unit. I understand that. What I don't understand and where I get conflicting information is if you buy it online from an internet site. I'm considering purchasing the unit from www.6ave.com Customer Support says yes. So I call Pioneer to ask them. The lady who answered my call put me on hold and came back on the phone to confirm that yes, Pioneer will honor the 2 year warranty if I purchase the unit from 6ave.com. Before I made these phone calls, I sent an e-mail to Pioneer's Customer Service team asking the same question. I just received an e-mail back from them saying the following:

There are no online dealers authorized to sell the Premier product. In order for the 2 year warranty to be valid the unit must be purchased from an authorized Premier dealer store front.

Thank You,

Customer Service Representative

So what is the correct answer? Will Pioneer honor the 2 year warranty on the AVIC-F90BT if I buy it from www.6ave.com?

Thanks in advance.

I am considering installing the Pioneer AVIC-F90BT in my 2006 Ford Mustang GT replacing the stock Shaker 500. I am wondering if the F90BT has speed sensing volume where the volume of the head unit will automatically increase if the speed of the vehicle is increased. I would also like to know if it is compatible with Ford's accessory delay feature where the F90BT will remain on for up to 10 minutes after the vehicle has been turned off or until a door is opened. Thanks in advance!
