Absolutely yes. I love mine (hacked of course). $200 is a great deal IMO.

Your parking brake wire is probably connected to the parking brake. You need to change that so it is connected to ground and you should be all set.

The manual would be very helpful here as well. It describes exactly how to get those buttons to not be grayed out (turn off your audio source).

Try downloading and installing the 3.0101 update for the X710bt from the pioneer website. It may fix your issue and if it does not you really have lost nothing but a small amount of time. For what it's worth after I used the official upgrade on my F700BT I had constant reboots (after a few minutes of sitting at the starting up screen) that were a result of the license file not being copied over from the SD cards. I also had no map or software version listed. I manually copied the license file from the SD to the AVIC and I did the 3.0101 upgrade and everything works great now. BTW...my official

For anyone that did the official 3.0 update.....Make sure you also do the update to the latest software version for the X series. This update fixed what the 3.0 update did not install properly.

SD2 - LPUE080\APL2\iGo\license There is one license file that I had to transfer to the AVIC.

I had the same problem. It turned out the license files never got copied onto the AVIC. I manually copied them from the SD card to the radio. I also realized that the upgrade was only partially complete even though the installer said everything completed just fine. So I ran the latest X Series upgrade (3.01010) and that seemed to get everything straightened out. Hope this helps.

I have to make sure the ipod application is open when I plug in my jailbroken iPhone 3G. Works well for me.
