Blustang05 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I am thinking about getting a f90bt. But I am on the fence. I keep reading about the Boot time, how long is the boot time? Dose the radio or cd player work while it is booting? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Under a minute on mine. Radio comes on within 10-20 seconds. Not sure about CDs, I haven't listened to one yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 the boot time is a pain and for me its the same as cameltowing but if thats your only concern, i would wait and see what the members here accomplish because they are currently working on finding ways to quicken the boot time, or eliminate it entirely Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bitman Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 AV sources start almost immediately true, but you can't control them and have to wait a bit longer before the volume knob and other controls are becoming active. so turn your volume down before you stall your car if you don't want to wake up your neighbours the next day in the early morning.

O i hate when i do that. I tell you what when you get up and leave the house before the suns up. When you turn the car on and the radio is up OMG. If you weren't awake before you are know as far as the neighbors i could careless if they hear it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skicrave Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Pioneer should add an option that allows us to set the turn-on volume that the system defaults to. Most OEM systems have that option now-a-days, and it's really nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bitman Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 with the eu version 1900 i can adjust the volume after about 3 sec as the music starts. but that might be to late and the neighbours already awake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
702 Motoring Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Who would have ever thought you could use your decks "boot up time" as a selling point for remote start! LOL Every problem has a solution! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tacomaboy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Boot up time is one of, if not THE biggest complaint of mine, and its the one Pioneer says they cant (or wont) address. At best its a minor annoyance, at worst its infuriating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Volume is changeable almost immediately upon startup with AV sources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's something interesting - I booted the unit in testmode, and as soon as WinCE was up, the HDRadio was playing with volume control. I assume that's a hardware passthrough from the HDRadio module. But yeah - I posed a boot time question in the thread below: Is it different based on the model? I recorded my times as (F90BT): Ignition on to first light/Splash Screen: 07 secs Splash Screen to the end of "loading": 76 secs Ability to use unit (background tasks I assume): 88 secs Bluetooth Connection: 106 secs Fully functional, no lag : 115 secs http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17466 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
