Hello friends,

 

Sorry if this question has been answered before...but do we have any information regarding the buttons in the wheel?? Is Pioneer going to fix/modify them in order to change the radio station from the wheel??

 

Many thanks.

Personally, I think it's insane for them to try and charge $130 for the OS update, especially considering it fixes the fact that 2.0 was a poorly coded piece of garbage, and didn't have "Heading Up" in 2D (which was a baseline feature of my D3!)

 

I don't mind them charging for map data (though I think that too ought to be super cheap) and the "new feature" stuff of 3.0, but the fact is that the F-series owners subsidized Pioneer's development of a new line of nav systems by beta testing half-finished code and living with the frustrations that caused.

 

My less-than-1-year-old F90BT has totally stopped working now and I'm contemplating putting my D3 back in rather than the F90 at this point. I had always hoped/assumed that I'd eventually get the fix that allowed me to use my GPS map the same way my D3 worked but for $130? No thanks.

That isn't what they're charging for the F-series update.

 

It's $60 if you hop on board now. $120 after that.

Does anyone know if it allows labeling on the HD-Radio presets now? Right now, with my F90BT with 2.0, the HD presets are all blank--no station labeling at all. I use the P10HD.

I think, from what I remember reading, that there are still no presets. But that doesn't mean this thread should turn into a "omg Pioneer still didn't fix this! blahblahblah thread", because I can't remember for a fact.
