  2. New AVIC U310BT owner, what do I need to know?

    in General

    Posted

    Thank you very much for the advice! I just picked up a 239FM card, it should be here in a couple of days. Will I need an additional SD card, or is this plug-and-play? (I understand that the POIs are on a DVD, does this need to be in the unit at all times?)

     

    4. with this unit, ipod/iphone audio AND controls are done over the usb (as opposed to other units which require usb + a/v cables). You can use a stock ipod usb/dock cable - it works just fine.

     

    Ok! My question was more about video out than controls. My understanding from other posts was that the Pioneer "A/V" cable (a 3.5mm jack) was specifically to feed video out from an iPhone/iPod into the AUX in of Pioneer units that DO take video, and so I was wondering if the U310BT might have a video in from that input that isn't mentioned.

     

    Cheers!

    Greetings,

     

    After a bit of research and reading the positives and the negatives about the U310BT, I finally decided this was the stereo I wanted for my Subaru Forester 2012. The elegant form factor, the benefit of the removable faceplate (as an anti-theft deterrent) and the good reviews with regards to SQ ultimately won me over.

     

    Before I take it to a shop to get installed, I have have a few questions:

     

    1) Updates. What version should I update to? I see posts from people trying to downgrade their existing updates, apparently due to Bluetooth problems.

     

    2) Customization on a Mac. Is it possible to customize the splash screen etc on a Mac running Os X? If so how?

     

    3) Maps / POI. I've read a lot of positive and negatives about the built-in GPS. I'm not trying to land a Tomcat on an aircraft carrier here, so I'm ok with the GPS being what it is, but I would like to get the latest update as far as maps and POIs go. The Pioneer site lists the CNSD-130FM for 2010, and CNSD-239FM for 2011. Is the 239FM the one I want to get?

     

    4) CD-IU50V cable. My understanding is that the U310BT does NOT take in video from its auxiliary 3.5mm input, is this correct? I wouldn't need this cable then?

     

    5) Is there any additional advice / tips you could give me about this unit?

     

    Folks, thank you very very much in advance for any information.

     

    Cheers
