cranbers Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Why would you not just return it and get your money back? I mean who is going to buy it from you third party considering we KNOW its having issues? Also why would you want to take a loss on it? I mean I would think no one would want to pay you full price right? Just curious, if there is someone then hey best of luck, to both of you. Personally though I would just return it and get my full money back, just my two cents. Link to post Share on other sites
kurtcav337 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 To be perfectly honest.. i think these problems are being blown out of proportion.. i was so mad i ordered one when i heard all the negative things.. I installed mine this weekend and have had ample time to see what the big fuss was about (its a 700bt by the way) as for the phone stuff.. as long as your windows are up and the mic is in a good location (not near the speakers) it works as good as i would expect. yeah the boot time can be annoying but what did everyone expect? 30 seconds.. it takes me about a minute or two to get situated in my car, make sure my garage closes, etc.. the voice recognition takes a few moments for requesting an ipod song but it depends how much music you have.. if you have 80 gigs of music vs 10 gigs, yeah its gonna take longer for the vr catalog to load.. this is not surprising. personally, im really impressed with the unit but everyone expected something flawless because of all the hype. Im very glad i got this over the d3.. imho the interface and potential is greater by 10 fold. Link to post Share on other sites
lemonhead Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Tell you what...fix the BT, make the 2d nav map so the compass isn't always north, speed the bootup and the screen to screen changes, and get rid of the dark boxes when you don't have a destination plotted, and this will be a good unit.

I was very mad when I ordered one, but when I actually got it installed and thought the thing was pretty cool. Yes they do need to fix the voice recognition and overall lag of the unit, but those are my only complaints. Overall, its an 8 out of 10 for me. Link to post Share on other sites
