Have you tried on the steering wheel column? Also I found directly in front of me on the visor a good spot as well.

tons of information out there so I would read more... basically their are not a lot of streets which are labeled on the map unless you zoom in a lot. routing is sometimes hit or miss I would say its not terribly accurate, normally my car is about 3-4 car lengths ahead of where it shows on the map Summary but this unit if your more interested in the interface, but if gps is your main selling point kenwood probably better

its as simple as this, YOU should not be getting those error messages if everything was done correctly. So either you have a faulty unit or it was installed incorrectly, THATS IT. Yes the gps is not a strong point of these units, but thats all been well documented and knowing that I still bought one, and do not regret it. To me the bluetooth is more of an annoyance than the gps... however i've now gotten a chance to experience some different kenwood models and like everyone else their are pros and cons. I bought this unit for the interface and the fact pioneer lets out yearly upgrades.

lol sorry man but you figured it was legit because the people selling on ebay told you so...

really look forward to seeing your guy's experience with this mic. I almost picked one up last year when i got my unit but heard several conflicting opinions. Currently I'm using the garmin mic which was certainly an improvement over the pioneer but still not usable for calls...

Very strange I tried a friends iPod and it worked... I then tried my iPhone and it seemed to work fine. Kinda bizarre, I did not change anything on the unit or my iPhone hmm

Bt does connect and work. I will try to do a full restore now and see what happens

This suddenly happened because for the months i've had it the unit has worked flawlessly. However now whenever I connect my iphone its goes to "ipod" and its all blank... I can search artist etc. but it will not play any songs or show any artwork. I can go into musicsphere and see everything but once again you can click songs but it will not play. Only way i've gotten music to come out of it was to start the song disconnected from the unit on the iphone and than plug my iphone back in. My iphone is uptodate and i've even re sync it but still nothing. Anyone have a clue? maybe a setting got

they are identical, the difference is software only

Ok from doing further research it seems many people have experienced the same issue from a number of different Mics. Seems that 2 options are maybe worth delving into... One would be purchasing another mic that has noise cancellation which not many have so it could be worth buying a headset one and just removing everything but the mic. Option two would be to buy a 2.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack adapter. This would open up a ton of different Mics for use. Most of the forums that I've read about people doing this are about the garmin nuvi models so no clue how it would work with the pioneer unit. Tho

Been looking around and their are numerous 2.5mm car mics out there to purchase. Anyone think perhaps some of these might do the trick?

Interesting... I currently have the mic placed in the upper left corner near the windshield. I have a dodge magnum rt. I've placed some foam over the mic and it certainly made a difference though not perfect by any means yet. Friend recommended using a little plastic and cover the mic so I will try that tomorrow as well as moving the mic even more

Ok i went with the garmin mic because when i installed the other pioneer one people said I was very difficult to hear. Now at a standstill people can't tell if i'm talking through the car or the iphone. however as soon as I start moving people are complaining that I have become hard to hear and they can pick up all the road noise. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a fix? I have tried moving the mic around a bit and that doesn't seem to make a significant difference.

I thought I'd seen a video where someone seemed to be streaming youtube to the head unit? Is there anyway to do this even with the wire connected?

dude only some buildings are able to be displayed... i hope you live in a major area otherwise they will be hard to find

hey guys i figured out how to use the "prices right wheel" thing. Basically my is set to shuffle so each time is selects the next song it is in a random order. To quickly change this on the top left on the screen next to the sliding av sources, its two arrows or easier got to pg 120 in manual and its NUMBER 1. hit that a few times and it will work. Haven't figured out how to keep this setting since everytime i go back to ipod i have to do it again

its on pioneer's site dude http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... 20BT?tab=D just download it I've tried scrolling on the right hand side playing ipod but i can't get it to work...

Someone wanted to see a video and here is my first attempt at this before.

ok i'll try and make a video of the upgrade now

mine is out for delivery i'll let you guys know how install goes when i get it

i thought i saw some 120bt video which the guy said had more rds support. Currently even with its limited support i see station names and songs when i go to detail view.

yeah mine says shipped as well now... maybe won't get a tracking number since these sd cards are so small

My problem is every time something like this occurs it tends to mean something is messed. it starts with misleading or differing answers from the company, and potentially loss of money or long period of waiting. I'd assume we've all been in situations with businesses before where we've been fed a line of bs over and over, have had to fight to get something promised or returned etc... Not saying we, or I, are anywhere near that point but just a natural reaction of mine to become a little suspicious over inactivity. We'll of course have to wait and see what happens but obviously this start has

i'm not bitching at all. i have been very polite but the answers i have received have been wrong. Last friday they told me it would ship out monday, so I called monday where they said wednesday, and called again thursday where they said "friday at the latest". When we compare responses from pioneer... maybe your right, we could be asking too much for a straight answer

yeah I would say zero chance of that lol I spoke to martha or something and she assured me lol that they had them and likely ship out tomorrow... but lets see how many times have i heard that
