tycoonbob Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Just got off the phone with Pioneer support, and the guy I talked to said: As far as I know the update is coming soon, and when I say soon, I mean real soon. [i asked if it was today] "If it came out later today, it would be a total surprise to me. I haven't heard that it was today, but I know it's a day-by-day thing right now. So yeah...that's what he says, but of course Jason may have special connections with Pioneer seeing as he is admin of a forum strictly for Pioneer products. Let's hope it is today. He also said the only fixes he knew for sure, increased boot-up time, and blackberry bluetooth fix. We all knew that already, but he said that is all he knew. So yeah...that's what I was just told, but they don't seem to be very consistant with what they say. Sorry, I still like to call and hear things for myself. No mean to offend you, but I am sure that 60-80% of their calls right now in the Navi department are about that update. That is the second time I called so it's not like I am harassing, even though I had another reason for calling [for the past two days, I will be driving and all of a sudden it will just say "GPS has lost it's signal" but it instantly get's it back. He suggested sending it in, but I'm not doing that]. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We all knew that already, but he said that is all he knew. I hope you meant to say decreased boot-up time. Increased? YIKES! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tacomaboy Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hahahah this is great news. The video clearly shows improved bootup time (though its still bad IMO). But what a difference! Also, you can see the blue boxes are gone The work, home, mobile, etc are added (yay!) The startup menu is gone!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

redtruck Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Just downloaded and installed it. Piece of cake, went really smooth. Boot time is way down, screen is brighter, etc, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gas Is Expensive Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yeah. Maybe it's just me, or my unit, but my boot time is MUCH MUCH faster than the one in the youtube clip. Music starts in about 5 seconds, I'm up and rocking in about 20 seconds total. Perfectly acceptable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
