Are you afraid of missing something you are not aware of? There are things which are not perfect in AVIC. For example the integration of iGO, bluetooth and the rest of the software. Things that make life easier: Why are the contacts in AVIC so crippled? Using an SQL database to store a name and a phone number. Looks oversized or not finished! No adress, no picture,... Would be nice to set a contact as a destination for navigation. Why can i set a dynamic volume for the navigation only and not for radio/iPod/DVD? Why no cover pic of my mp3 from SD card/USB? Why no VR in europe?

Great. Then i'm willing to pay the money for a try...if i can find the necessary space in my dash... Thx for the hint, it seems to be an easy solution.

How u got the value of 5 seconds of buffering? Did you test it? If i take that capacitor (0,068 F) with an AVIC of 2A and 14,4 V in a car and use C = I * t / V solved to t, then the capacitor buffers just 0,5 seconds...

I'm always confused which is the latest 2.0 and 3.0 Version of the mod. Is it possible to make it easier on page 1? For me i use version 2, cause i don't see any advantage to go to iGo 8.3 with this mod. Thank you guys for the work, i love it! Esi

No need for endless google sessions The info is already here in the hacks section: http://www.gpsunderground.com/ for d maps.

IMHO that's the better solution. I have a EU F900BT but used the DVD player just once. Having a working radio and TMC is much more worth.

It can work but Pioneer guarantees it only up to 8 GB. The Specification of the AVIC says it can play DVD-Video. Required sound format is PCM and Dolby Digital according to the DVD spec. Means support of DTS 5.1 would be optional... I never tried to play DTS 5.1 so i don't know... and that's why i skipped that question. However the AVIC repair manual says for the DVD drive: Number of channels: 2(stereo) If indeed there's always a downmix to "2.0" then any question about using DTS 5.1 is obsolete ....

I'm wondering how you could measure the AVIC alone if it's already in dash. It doesn't have a switch for on/off and will start if you switch your car to ACC. But then the whole car wakes up and a lot more of power will be consumed beside the AVIC... The repair manual says the maximum power consumption is up to 10.0 A. Backup power is 6.5 mA Another point, calculation of 1/100 of Watt if you just measure in 1/10 Ampere makes less sense. I don't agree. I assume you played the music on a reduced level? The paper says for maximum continuous power output 4 x 22.5 Watt (5% THD,

Voice Control (VC) is not available in european models. VC would work for iPod and dialing. No support for SD card. VC can't be added to european model - missing hardware. Read the hack section. Don't be lazy, people gets tired of answering the same questions again and again. Please read first and put remaing questions in the specific topic. Thanks in advance too.

Could u give us a link?

Then the application is missing something. In my case it said it in english and so piece by piece i could add what was missing... i think u should try to interpret the "russian" or find a way to change the language... Can u make a screen copy with the message? Maybe one person here can read it.

No idea, i hope Boris can clarify it. It's one click away. If you tap on the turn signal pic then u come to another screen and in the lower corners you find the mute and cancel route buttons. Stanislavovich didn't want to have these buttons on the map screen itself. I'm happy that it is no longer there...

Users in Europe who want to have Voice Control need to wait for the new AVIC-F10BT.

Looks like is mess up miles/h with km/h (100 m/h = 160 km/h, 90 m/h = 146 km/h). Sorry, i have no idea how to fix that...

Did i got it right? I start the update, get a device number, run to my computer, get a password, run back to the car and continue update

What means "audible speedcam warnings" ? This mod can give you acoustic warnings for speedcam in different modes: The whole description from Boris is on page 8. http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=24444&start=105#p168165

My SE W960i can handle the contats by "last name, first name" or "first name last name". Transferred to the avic it's always "last name, first name" and that is the opposite i was using... i had to reorder all my contacts. I agree to Boby that this application could be much better. And it's not only the sorting of names, it's also the contact pictures (ok, that's just "nice to have") and the missing function in a navigation system (!) to set contacts adress as a route destination.

@Elk: You should try to play your music from SD and/or USB too in your environment. I wouldn't trust other ppl cause their hardware and ears are different. Rip your CD with EAC as a 320 kbps mp3 or FLAC (dunno if AVIC can play FLAC) and test it in your car. I use the pre amp connectors too with Bose amps and Infinity speakers and usually play from SD card. I'm also not thrilled with the result.

I didn't install the iGO 8.3 yet. I'm quite happy with 8.0 plus Yuri's mod and the new maps. So my knowledge is limited. But i read the biggest difference in 8.3 is the long awaited 2D mode with direction up instead of north.

The capacitor is too small. In the picture i see a capacitor of 470 uF, that gives you a delay of 0.1 second before voltage drop. In the diagramm it showd 10.000 uF, this should hold around 2.5 seconds (assuming 12V and 50 mA for the relay). But i don't know if the install help you, that depends on your car. If your car switch off the power for AVIC while cranking then this circuit might help to get power from another "all time hot" source. But if the voltage in your car drop below 10.x Volt cause the starter sucks too much energy then the circuit is useless.

This is something to sacrifice. Get iGO 8.3 and old 2008 maps or stay with iGO 8.0 and use the newest 2009 maps. A new "modified" Ezrider for version 3.0 will solve that problem but it's not available yet.

Pioneer Germany said "estimated in summer 2009" I don't think you'll get the update before your holidays. Even the US guys just preordered their SD cards, nobody received it so far. And if you add the usual delay to europe...

It doesn't work.

Don't get me wrong guys but this is the install guide for US/Canada only. If you look for the EU deck then better join http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25743#p175275. Here you get all your answers.

3. Without knowing the kind of stock installation in your C5 it's hard to give any advice. Is it a passive system (just the speakers itself) or an active system (amplifier plus speaker)?
