  1. My biggest gripe thus far with my D3 is that lets say I've painstaking scrolled 3/4 through my albums to find the one I want... Now I i finish the album and hit "menu" on the screen it goes back to where I was (as expected)... but, if I turn my car off and then back on (say after a day of work) and I hit "menu" nothing happens... I have to yet again painstakingly scroll to where I want

     

    I don't really understand this as the Ipod itself always knows where it is

     

    Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?

  2. Just an update... The pre IS compatible for at least making calls... I haven't tried pushing the phone book yet but it's good news for those Palm folks like me that hung on for dear life to their 700p (pre MR patch) and wanted to upgrade

  3. OK... So I'm toying with the idea of updating my D3 to the 900bt or the 90bt... I'm on pioneers site and the only difference I can find in the models is the preout voltage and the warranty

     

    Besides that... what are your thoughts? I really use my D3 for the ipod features (did they get any better in the F series?) and the bluetooth for my cellphone (I have a Treo 700p pre MR that still works with the BTB-200, did the F series BT get any better?) although I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a Palm PRE when it comes out so it shouldnt be an issue

     

    Thanks to all for any info you can provide

  4. I did solve the problem but the solution was weird.

     

    Thinking I had a defective BT head and having Pioneer support confirming it, I purchased another. Same problem!! This made no sense! It connects but no sound, only static. What are the chances of having 2 bad units? Then, by mistake, I plugged in the bus cable intro the wrong socket (instructions say, blue end to blue socket) and it WORKS! What is this? In fact both units worked and not only did it connect as before but now I had sound. Pioneer support confirms that some have been assembled incorrectly!

     

    I can barely beleive this!

     

    Any one else run into this? BTW, I was unimpressed with Pioneer support.

     

    sounds to me like you have something setup wrong in the first place... i couldnt get my plugs to hook up incorrectly as youve stated and had ZERO issues pairing a MR 1.08 Palm Treo 700p to my avic d3... sound is perfect and im able to push my phonebook

     

    as far as i know the MR1.10 has a different bluetooth stack which the newer models use... i havent found a single newer palm treo that would pair with my avic d3

  5. one thing i tried last night that i def dont like is making 27 smart playlists that grab artists by "starts with" and then a-z for the 26 and 0-9 for the 27th

     

    sounds good but when you browse.. you get songs not artists.. this is crappy disappointing b/c it would be the obvious best solution

     

    I do like the genre suggestion but i have about 10 different genres of music and well that just wont do

  6. IS there a chance the board admin can change the icons for "sticky" "new post" "hot topic" etc ???

     

    the all look pretty much the same... small, orange, rectangles... makes working through posts alot harder than it really should be esp since there isnt a legend to explain these small orange rectangles like other boards do

     

    ill offer to dig up new icons that will fit the overall theme if that makes the change a little more desirable

     

    just food for thought

  7. i have the 700p and the btb-200

     

    do me a favor and check your firmware version

     

    Phone... Options Menu... Phone Info...

     

    What version software do you have?

     

    The highest that works is 1.08... anything above that contains updated BT stack code and renders it useless to the AVIC

     

     

    as far as pairing...

     

    goto bluetooth on your phone... setup devices... trusted devices...

     

    when it finds the avic, add it using 0000 as the password

     

    then on your AVIC, let it find treo (since now the treo trusts it, it will let it connect) then register the phone with the avic using the register phone option (touch and hold a blank spot until your phone name appears)

     

    to get your phonebook to the avic:

     

    on the avic select transfer phonebook

     

    on your treo goto contacts... make sure your view category (on the top right) is "ALL"... goto the menu and choose send category... choose bluetooth as the method

     

    that should send your entire phone book to the avic

     

    please post if you need more help

  8. Has anyone identified the texture/map that defines the image behind the track info and such?

     

    Why pioneer would give us something akin to a planet shooting beams of light out of it is beyond me... would be be nice to be able to disable that
