  1. It doesn't work. I really wanted to be able to use a 160 gig portable Samsung drive. I think its the same hard drive INSIDE the Ipod but there were several problems. Power draw was not one of them. My samsung drive is very low power. I read the specs carefully in both the Pioneer manual and the Samsung manual and it should have worked. Why it failed ??? 1.) The X920BT apparently needs some sort of driver software. Apparently flash drives all use the same driver - and its preloaded - or the flash drives have some sort of driver that most devices know how to install.
  2. I like Musicsphere. I've used Genius playlists as well. There are ways to change the default playlists for Musicsphere but I haven't messed with that much. I have noticed that Musicsphere doesn't seem to care about ratings (mine or anyone elses) when it creates a playlists. Genius seems to just immediately go looking for what it somehow knows is popular. For example, if I tell it to build a genius playlist using a song like "Purple Haze" by Hendrix, I basically get a very typical classic rock radio sounding playlist. With Musicsphere, it seems much more likely
  3. I really think the issue is that the Pioneer (for reasons that made sense to someone at some point) turns up the microphone level when the volume is turned up... and turns down the microphone level when the volume is turned down. I've played with this a lot by calling the answering machine in my house and I became convinced that the microphone is actually very good at picking up low level sounds... what seems to be causing the problem is if I talk too loud (or if what I believe is the invisible microphone level adjustment is cranked too high). If you turn down the volume (whi

    Microphone

    Having experimented with the microphone by calling an answering machine in my house I have come to the following conclusions: 1.) The microphone actually is very good at picking up low volume voice. What I've found is that if I talk TOO LOUD - the voice gets garbeled. 2.) I'm convinced that some software engineer decided that it would be ok to couple the microphone input level and the sound output level. The microphone seems to work better when the system audio output (as determined by the + and - buttons in the voice call status with the telephone hook) is set to lo
  5. I have a 32 G Itouch that has the multi-tasking software that Apple released around June. I also have a new Iphone 4 that I got in July. Both work with the X920Bt. I stopped using Pioneerlink when Pandora suddenly released a new update in August that was "optimized for car radio head units" The Itouch connects with a Clear hotspot that I keep in my car. Its basically Wifi to the Clear hotspot and then WiMax to the Clear tower. It works very well - but I do have one problem. When I get home, and the Itouch sees my home WiFi network it wants to leave the Clear
