Head Unit Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Is there a common place to list 3.0 bugs? If not, we should make one. I bought the update card set from Crutchfield. It worked fine on my 900 and made my touch screen finally actually work ok (shouldn't have had to pay for that, but whatever). I've experienced 3 bugs so far. Some people mention others. Mine so far: 1. System boots into Destination Menu. (15 in 3 days) 2. Screen goes black. 3. Ipod dropped frequently (did not have this problem in 2.0). 4. Clock times change inexplicably, then revert back to correct at next boot up. (Added 10/21) 5. Screen calibration won't complete. I keep touching the X's, and they move, but I never get the screen that locks in the recalibration. (Added 11/23 but has been happening for weeks) I tried bringing the first three bugs to Pioneer's attention. I got a response that made it seem like they didn't even read my email. (abysmal customer service -- but that's for another thread or 10.) Please, let's consolidate our 3.0 bugs. Thanks (Sorry if this is posted somewhere else...I didn't see one though) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dc-it Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 My Voice Command for phone dialing cannot recognize the numbers I ask it to dial. It was working flawlessly in 2.0 firmware. I called Pioneer Canada Tech Support to see if they have a software patch to fix this and was told to send back the head unit for Pioneer to re-program it! That would be a real bother as I need my GPS/BT for my daily commute/work and can't be without this unit. Guess I'll have to put up with this bug and hope that the next firmware update will fix this.

medicZ71 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 1. Ipod drops more also 2.

gidyup Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 GPS thinks that anyone living in Oregon is in the Mountain Time Zone instead of the Pacific Time Zone (-1 hour). If you turn off Auto Correct and set the time zone manually, the time is now correct on the map, but stays one hour ahead on the iPod and radio screens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktaulbee Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 1. GPS doesn't initially boot quick enough to realize current position(ie asks me to select time zone because I live in Michigan and there are more than one time zone, I don't even live close to the cut off area, only about 500 miles away) 2. Bluetooth on 3.0 was a joke and I had to revert to BT 2.0 3. Longer boot time for me in 3.0????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazydave Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 * BIG ONE: after working just dandy for two weeks after the 3.0/2009 maps update (CNSD-150FM), my AVIC-F500BT never gets past the "System startup in progress. Please wait." stage. It locks there forever. Tried this in the car, in the house, on car battery, on AC adaptor, nothing. * Before then, the only big problem I noticed: video playback from SDHC is fubar. It used to work nicely... the same videos (about 1Mb/s AVC-MP4) now stutter horribly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madsonp Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 When making or receiving phone calls, the unit switches to the map. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terron Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 When making or receiving phone calls, the unit switches to the map. Mine doesn't. I've taken phone calls still on my Sirius tuner screen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SubieAvic Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 With 3.0, I don't have street labels in 3D mode, only in 2D. Other users have this problem or know a way to fix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you interrupt the load by switching sources, the loading does not continue in the background, and must resume from zero when you go back to the iPod source. Duh.[*:k50d9p2o]Lag time between screen touch and response can be ridiculously long -- 1-5 seconds are not unusual. I know there's more, but I don't feel like going out and booting the car just to find bugs in this crappy nav unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SubieAvic Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I find with 3.0 that if I stop at intersection, the nav thinks I am turning and flips the display 90 degrees. Once I get going again, it will flip back 90 degrees to the correct course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jojool Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 probably this was metioned befor or I am the only one... Adjusting the illumination to custom values results in various reboots and selftriggered resettings of my unit. As soon as I use a existing color, erverything is fine...
