Yes and it works just fine. Just use Pandora. The Pioneer app is no longer needed.
Sweet. Thanks VBLUE42
-
My apologies if this is covered elsewhere. I was wondering if anyone is using an Ipod Touch (Current model) with the Pandora app and the Pioneer Pandora app to stream Pandora to the X920BT?

VBLUE42 . I realized now how I figured this out. If you go to the main AVIC FEEDS mobile page on Pioneers site http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/In-Dash/GPS-Navigation-Systems/AVIC+FEEDS+App+for+Smartphones
they have links for iphone and blackberry and nothing at all for anything else BUT in the fine print at the bottom of the page I read
"iTunes is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
BLACKBERRY is a registered trademark of Research in Motion Limited.
SYMBIAN is a registered trademark of Symbian Foundation Limited."
This is what set me on the quest to find it.

Although you would be hard pressed to find evidence it exists, it does!
I use it on my Nokia E71
-
I use it on the Nokia e71 . Hardly any evidence it exists from Pioneer, but it does!
-
So I have a Nokia E71 and had heard there was a AVIC Feeds version for Symbian but there is no mention that I could find on Pioneer's website. I emailed them, but no reply.
But it does exist!

Wow I had no idea and Im guessing no one else knows either. We need to get this out there so if you would, create a thread in the General forum for the X, U, and Z series forums and I will sticky them. Good find....... Truce???
Agreed
-
Well I don't need it but it is a useful piece of info that others probably would like to know about. So yea, where did you dig it up from?
Here it is http://store.ovi.com/search?q=avic
Not sure how many models it works on or why it's so "secret" but it works on my E71 just like it is supposed to. You can take geo tagged photos and create geo tagged contacts.
Cray huh?
-
Where is the Symbian AVIC FEEDS version?
I know huh?
I guess I just got lucky - you would never know it exists. So you really want to know where it is?
I even emailed Pioneer and they never responded
I started thinking AVIC FEEDS For Symbian? That must be just made up
-
You're right. I am describing the process to create a POI or favorite with the AVIC feeds PC software. Which would also give you one touch navigation ability.
The Avic feeds for phone is how I made the contacts that transferred to the phonebook. However you did forget that there is a symbian version
Give me a break I figured all the crappy pioneer software out ( Avic for PC. Avic for phone, and Music Sphere of death ) all on the day I got the deck and haven't used any of them since.
-
Ok have you even used the PC software yourself? It does not save as a file that can be read by the phonebook app on the unit. I saves as a KML file that is read as a custom POI from the POI menu of the unit. That has nothing to do with the phonebook function of the unit or the iPhone app. Seriously sir, before you ever try and challenge my knowledge on these unit, you should really do your home work. You have just been seriously owned here. And I certainly know how the software works. I have only been using it sense it was first released for the F series.
You have got to be kidding me. Yes I have used it. That is why I just described to you how you use it. The file can be saved in the avic feeds programs a contact. Would you like me to post a tutorial with screen shots of each step?????
-
Well, because it doesn't work with cell phones. It works with your PC.
you obviously have no idea how the software works. I shouldn't even enlighten you since you were so quick to nay say my initial post.
The Avic feeds for the PC allows you to use google maps ( the web site ) http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl Type in whatever address or place "yankee stadium" when the result comes up you can select more form the place marker and "Send" you then have a number of choices one of which is Pioneer navigation ( See image below )
This file will get imported into the running avic feeds program which will allow you to save the location as a contact that you can output to the sd card and transfer to your deck.
-
I allowed it to analyze 6,000 songs on my ipod overnight - the playlists make no sense to me at all. The sphere is neat looking but really of no functional use.
Let me add if the playlists were good i would think this is a decent feature. However since the playlists are pretty much nonsensical it is no more than a gimmick.
-
Of course this will only work if you have one of the only two phones that AVIC FEEDS supports so this is hardly a solution for everyone.
My phone is a Nokia E71. Is this one of the two phones you claim it would only work on? Also the Avic Feeds software for PC is what I used not the Avic feeds software for iphone or android or symbian. You sure do talk a lot of smack vblue.
Here is the avic feeds software for PC - no idea why you could not use this with any cell phone
I should also mention I took a 1200 mile round trip recently (FL to NC )and the 920 did pretty well. One real nice thing I noticed is where I was staying to the highway had two possible routes. For the sake of simplicity lets say the 920 wanted me to go left out the driveway and I preferred to go right. After going right the first two times it never suggested left again.
For complaints inputting a destination takes getting used to and two times it had me a few feet off the road on the map. In fairness these were winding back roads. Overall I was pleased with it.

check the avic feeds software it resizes photos for that purpose amongst other features
-
One thing you can do is using the AViC feeds software and Google maps is enter locations on google map and send them to the avic feeds software. The software then saves the locations as contacts ( phone numbers). Once transferred to the Avic920 you can simply select the contact from the phone book and it will route you to that location.
Not exactly searching by phone number but a quick way to navigate to a location using the phonebook / contacts.

Lack of features? You must be kidding. "The point of the thread is to point out the lack of features"?
The title of this thread is "Quality of Navigation" and the quality is lacking compared to other units. Especially when we are talking about the 120 which this unit shares the same navi software with. And I have detailed the lack of features on another forum. No one is saying this unit has a lack of features over the whole unit. It in fact is fairly well designed on the AV side but the navi is poor compared to every other unit Pioneer has ever released. the navi in the AVIC D3 is more advanced then these newer units and that unit is nearly four years old.
NO WAY. I owned the D3 and the 920 is light years ahead of it. You may be the head honcho around here but you are dead wrong. The 920 is faster, cleaner maps, better poi support, supports routing preference "learning", easier to put in address in and the VR is a huge advancement. Like any VR not perfect but a big advance. This unit is also light years ahead of the D3 in terms of Blu tooth. It supports additional profiles(pc sync). One example being the whole phonebook transfers at once. You had to push each contact one at a time on the D3. Have you even used the 920? The only feature i can think the D3 had over the 920 is XM Nav traffic.
Your post seriously undermines your credibility. I am through on this. You can continue to talk smack, nonsense that is.
-
Lack of features? You must be kidding. "The point of the thread is to point out the lack of features"? I understand the concept of reporting problems but you guys are just plain negative. I think it's a very solid unit with a shit ton of features. Do me one favor what SPECIFIC features or lack of do you have a problem with. Please list the SPECIFIC problems/ features.
Seriously I use dto be on this forum sevral years ago with adiofferent screen name that I lost. I re registered because I was amazed at how much negative troll energy is on this board. I just dont get it. If you dont like this unit or own it why be on this board shooting it down?
-
My microphone is above the windshield aimed at the "cock pit". It seems to work ok, although my cousin says i sound slightly muffled. The overall phone call volume does seem a bit low.
Apologize if this is off topic, but Is there not a way to just scroll through cover art to select an album?
-
I really cant imagine there is a better buy under $600 BEFORE rebate. I also dont want to harp but way to many people crapping on the item on this forum.

I previously had a D3 and have owned portable Tom Toms and Garmins. I am happy with my 920. Mine is accurate, tracks well, and map is detailed enough. Custom POI's are a nice feature as well. My VR also works surprising well, not perfect but better than I thought it would. Seems to be some serious bashing on here about this unit. In fact before I bought I was nearly turned off by the posts.
I am making this post now because I think someone who is happy with the unit should be represented. So here is my take. First as with all things I understand the unit ( read the manual ) and it's limitations. I updated the formware to the most recent version and made sure what I connect ( Nokia E71 and Ipod 80GB classic) are configured as they should be. I also am using the AVic feeds software for PC, AVic Feeds software for Symbian ( available on Nokia Ovi site free), and Music Sphere software. First I went through my Ipod and cleaned up all album and title name and album art. Resynced everything.
MusicSphere / Ipod:
Then I played around with Music sphere. This is definitely NOT an intuitive piece of software. In any case you run it and it initially analyzes all your music, in my case 4000+ songs, this took around ten hours. Once it does that you "update" it to create playlists. The playlists it created are a bit odd. It has pre-labeled categories "BPM/ Eighties/ etc" it put songs in each one that dont make a whole lot of sense to me and I have not figured out yet how to modify the plylists it creates. The helkp file from Pioneer is weak at best. In all it creates a little sphere that you can twirl around on the Avic interface to selct the playlists from. Pretty neat, but not a real necessity as the normal ipod playlists and Avic Ipod interface is solid enough where you do not need the MusicSphere. Not a single issue with Ipod album artwork displaying and VR has been good. Also video from my ipod is pretty neat. I do wish you could scroll through movie cover artwork instead of through title list but it works and displays cover art and thats really all I need.
BluTooth :
Dare I say I do not own an Iphone. What can I say I prefer a stainless steel phone not made in China. Of course I would loive to try the Pandora app. Anyway my phone paired up easily following the instructions and transferred the entire phone book including avic feed sw created contacts / poi's. WHat a huge improvement over the D3 and the Tom Tom I used. The VR for phone calls has been solid Saying "Call Ashley Cell" returns do you want to call the mobile number for Ashley? to whhich you need to reply yes. I was impressed iot could seperatye a contact that had two numbers stored on the phone ( one mobile one home). Subsequent pairing has been fast with no problems.
Avic Feeds
This software is again Pioneer and pretty clunky. It does allow you to customize your POI's with photo icons and allows you to create POI's from excel CSV and KLM files. You can also export KLM poi'sto SD card from the software.
Avic Feeds for phone:
A bit primitive but allows you to take a geotagged photo assign it a name and save it as a contact which you can then transfer from the phone to the Avic . the contact shows up in your phonebook but selecting it will allow yo to rout to it. Pretty useful actually.
FM:
Compared to the D3 it has RDS and the display is much nicer in my opinion.
I do not use XM, Sirius, MSN or back up camera. I cannot say anything about them.
In conclusion I think theis unit is a steal at this price and in general I" I like it alot"
-
Paid $568 after 30% cooupon code and before $100 mail in rebate on Amazon last week. Wow am I happy with that price and very happy with the unit so far. I had a D3 previously.
-
I I used AViC feeds software to open the KML and then used the software's "transfer to SD card" option.
Anyone receive their REBATE for the x920BT?
