  1. Ok so im not sure whats going on if ithere is something in the settings to fix this

    but the feture that you can use to enter your gas pump and prices paid that calculates the amount of fuel with the miels driven to give you a estimate MPG

    well it always for the past 3 months of ownership stored the miles when i would reset it and then drive say 300 miles and pump up again it would know that i drove 300 miles

    now every time i go into that feature to enter the gas pumped and fuel price the

    miles driven since last fill up do not show up i have to enter them manualy

    any help with what is going on and how to fix this

    greatly apreciated thank you

  2. I called Pioneer to ask there tech support about this cause i couldn't find it also

    they said it doesn't exsist in there systems we can search by intersection or high exit or entrance ramp

    i guess i miss these fucntions that my 8 yeaer old factory navigation offered

    but then again now i have BT and other features wich are nice

    but would be nice to see if anything comes up new when the 940 comes out this spirng

     

    maybe the new maps will have road speed limits on it

    also might give you the name of the city also perhaps

  3. HI does anyone know where i can pick up the straps that are used for mounting the steering wheel control braket onto the steering wheel

    i can't belive the price that Pioneer wants for replacment straps 2 peaces of rubber i forget but i think it was like 20 bucks plus shipping no way

     

    so does anyone know where i can get new ones without paying that much

    thank you

  4. I know i have been wondeirng about that on my 930 also

    seems that it eithere is not working because i am using a bypass and harness for my Factory bose speakers or it has something to do with the Bypass from what Pioneer over the phone told me

    yes i told them i have it bypassed and they had no problem still helping me with it

    the fact that i have not registred my unit yet and i can register it any time but i dont even need to contact them for warranty issues because i got the black ties service plan for 4 years from Best buy

    they don't really even care that i have it bypassed

  5. I also wonder if with Navteq they will be adding highway speed limits like i have on my Handlead window mount garmin

    i wanted to go with Kenwood because they used Garmine but i was not happy with the Delarty in the firmware that could have been fixed for the lagging

    so i went with Pioneer

  6. My problem is i hardly ever use the CD Dvd drive

    so its sitting there collecting dust for say 2 months at a time and then all of a sudden i decide to play a movie or listen to a CD and i nee dto clean it out

    something els i was thinking about was maybe a can of compressed air with a long nozle stick it in there and spray it for a second or 2

    but would that do any damage ?

  7. ah ok thank you

    i know my friend used his Maxwell in his D3 series and it works fine but i can't find his acact disc anywhere anymore i guess its not being made anymore

     

    hmm ok well i guess thats why having the Best Buy 4 year program wich includes cleaning once per year is good that just means ill probably be withou the system for up to 2 weeks i bet whyll they send it into there place and have it taken apart and cleaned properly

     

    i know i have had some CD drivers on a few of my cars like the BMW 740 it sat for 5 years collecting dust i finaly had it towed to the dealer to have them change all the fluids and check it to make sure it was safe before turning on

    and they got it starts i was alll ready to pop my CD In and cruise 1200 miles down to south florida

    and the cd player didn't work i stopped and bought cleaning disc at CVS and popped it in let it run for a few minutes and then presto my CD worked again after about 3 or 4 tries with the cd cleaner

     

    same thing happend with the GMC jimmy and my Lincoln Mark VIII i let them sit for a few years and they collected so much dust and dirt that it got threw to the system drive and took a few tries with the lense cleaner but got the cd players to work again

     

    how often would you recommend Cleaning the system out by opening it up

    should it be done twice a year once a year once ever 3 years or should you never have to do it ?

  8. what cd or cleaning utility disc do you use for you X930bt unit or other units

     

    i have gone threw 4 laser lence cd and dvd cleaning disc and non of them want to work

    every now and then i can get it to work after 7 or 8 times of putting it in and taking it out

     

    but i want one that will work and im tired of going into store after store to find one that does not thanks any help wouldbe great

  9. I just hope that this thing has accurate maps and all for the State of FL cause im moving there next month

    and i want to know im gona have good reception and that the maps will be good but i know i got the 2011 version so i should be good

    i figure if the new maps for 2012 are navteq and they are better then that would be the only reason i would update so early but usualy i wait till a map is 2 years or 3 years old before i go to update again

  10. Got a response from Pioneer about the new maps. The map GUI is the same as it is now but uses navteq map data. So no new in-action screenshots :(

    Update for older units comes "later this year".

     

     

    so does this mean that when the new updates up came latter in the year for the 930 unit that it will be from Navteq data base ?

    i think Navteq is better then what are they using now telatlas ? or something like that

    ?

  11. I wonder if this means that pioneer will leave the 930 dead in the water and forget about sofware or firmwar updates for us to get us to buy the 940 instead

     

    I know the only problem i am having is if i use my Iphone for audio stream from Blue Tooth that when i first synch with the system it will always turn the volum on my iphone all the way down

     

    and i am or was hoping they would have a firmware or software update fix for this but now im guessing with the 940 comming out they will just say the heck with the 930 users

  12. What remote?

     

     

    I get it the OP is a troll ok but before you even knew they where a troll did you really have to be that rude you could have just said this 999 dollar unit does not come with a reomote LOL

     

    ok no to the Troll OP

    appl isn't going anywhere atleast not at the moment

    all thought i think the Iphone is about as ho as a Palm Treo used to be back in the day cause now everyone can get a iphone verison t-mobil att and even go in and buy an unlocked one from apple so im not buying another one thats for sure

     

    still

    you can add a remote you need a PAC wire harness and a Pioneer remote you can search more on it it

  13. where exactly do you have the Mic Located also what kind fo car do you have

     

    it all comes down to atleast how i see it is how noisy your cabin compartment is and if its sound isolated or insulated or just built of cheap materials

    also do you have it near the A Pillars or the Windows or doors closer to those the more noise it will pick up

    do you have the back of the mic up agains anyting ?

    if so that could be your issue

    the voice needs to be able to go somewhere after it hits the mic and having the mic set up with no place for air behind it would cause bad nois also

  14. i have Iphone 4 with latest software

    and only trouble i have is when pairing it will turn the volum on my phone all the way down kind of anoying doens't even allow me to just keep it in my pocket cause i always have to pull it out to turn the volume up ok that didn't sound to good LOL

    but thats the whole point of BT for me so that i can jsut keep the phone in my pocket
