Which is why I said it was the wrong thing. They sent me 1.0003. I needed 2.001.

Hey I'm just trying to help - don't be a jerk. I think what you are saying is that you purchased the map/system update on a SD card that resulted in system version 2.000. You asked Pioneer to send you the latest version 2.0001 and they sent you an even older version 1.0003?

No it's an old update. The one before the map update.

Sorry I'm not aware of the earlier update. I think this thread is concerning the latest map/system update distributed via a SD card and the associated POI's update which is distributed via a download.

Well, I got the update and it's the wrong thing. It's the same update that's on their website.

What do you mean "on their website"? The map/system update comes on a SD card right?

Has anyone figured out how to hide the Eco graph on the navigation screen display after the update? Even with the all of the Eco modes set to off, the graph still takes space on the screen.

For those of you who updated and were able to get the POIs to work, what firmware does it say you are running?

Service Info Screen: Version 2.0001

One thing that may be unclear is that after you've installed the map/system update. You must go back to the Pioneer website to generate a new password based on Device ID and POI Media Number Card #

I installed the u310bt in my wife's Saturn Vue. I have updated the firmware to 1.0003 I used the garmin microphone that was recommended here in the forum. One thing I did that was a risk, I attached the GPS antenna onto the center crossbar about one inch below the plastic dashboard, It picks up the signals perfectly so far and keeps the antenna hidden under the dash!

 

One issue is the glare on the screen during daylight hours gets annoying. I was wondering if there was an anti glare film that could be attached to the screen? Has anyone done anything to help with the glare? The ipod interface is a bit non-intuitive I just told my wife to use the ipod controls to navigate the songs.

 

Having a little trouble connecting with her Samsung impression. My iphone it had no problem at all but her impression is not working correctly but I did not mess with it so It may just be a matter of a wrong setting.

 

Sounds great! I was thinking of upgrading the speakers but the HU make s the speakers sound so much better I do not think I need to upgrade just now.

 

Any suggestions on the bluetooth connection to the impression or tip with the ipod interface would be helpful.

I'm thinking of fabricating a glare shield - possibly inserting it into the CD slot.

I would have to a take pictures, other than the ECO monitor the Navigation hase changed very little. which screens would you like to see?

How about the "home" screen - apparently now has icons for Nav, Phone and Audio? There's supposed to be a way to customize the homescreen? What's that about? Can you confirm which functions are now unavailable when in motion even though the parking brake wire is grounded? Are you happy with the amount of new POIS?

Thanks

I tried doing this tonight and I failed I went into the iPhone settings and changed as you have said to but it did not work. Could be due to the fact I have a D3 or operator error was there any other steps I need to take

What failed? The transfer of contacts or displaying the incoming call contact name?

Note that this is the way that I transfer contacts via bluetooth on the iPhone. Note that I have a lot of contacts, many have multiple phone numbers and I don't want to transfer all of them. Create a Group in your contacts named something like NAVI FAVS. Add contacts to this with a single phone number and add a H or M to the name to indicate whether home or mobile. i.e. John M Smith for John Smith's mobile #. Go into Settings:General:Bluetooth. Select the right arrow for PIONEER NAVI. This will designate which contacts to transfer. Turn off Phone Favorites and Phone Recents. These do not transfer properly for some reason. Go to Other Groups on this screen and check mark the NAVI FAVS Group. (note that the AVICFEEDS group appears on this screen and you can also checkmark it if you have this APP on your iPhone and want to transfer locations from it). Now pair the phone to the head unit and go to phone settings on the head unit and select Transfer contacts. Many times this will not transfer on the first attempt and you will end up with the same contacts on the head unit that you started with. Usually a successful transfer can be made if you then turn off bluetooth on the iPhone and then turn it on, repair the phone to the head unit and try again to transfer.

I thought I'd post this since a search of forum posts provides confusing (to me) information. In order to have incoming calls display the contact name instead of the just the phone number, the contact phone number must not have parentheses or dashes. It must be in this format: 2345678999.

To accomplish this when syncing contacts from an iPhone. Go into Settings:General:International:Region Format:U.S. Virgin Islands. U.S. Virgin Islands is only an example of many regions that display phone numbers in the required format. Note that if you use the United States Region for this example you would get: (234) 567-8999 and this would not display correctly.

What's the new software like? Does anyone have any screenshots?

Yes - I'd like to know this too.

I believe that A2DP bluetooth streaming is NOT supported. I suggest using the USB connection but choosing iPod/iPhone control mode. This allows you to use the iPhone controls to start internet radio streaming (or any other app) plus the iPhone is being charged plus you can use the headunit volume and some limited other controls such as pause plus the iPhone pauses when the headunit is turned off.
