crilleym Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's been real folks, had a lot of fun while I had my 700, but it is time to move on. Bought and installed a 920bt today. Definately different and currently unhackable, but I think I am going to like it. Pending approval, the F700 will be listed for sale in classified section. Nothing wrong with it, but I have no use for it anymore. I had a great time learning things, changing mods and so forth. Happy days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abb1 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Well, I ope that you enjoy your new 920BT. I would have purchased one long ago if it was hackable, actually, no, not true, I would have purchased a Z120bt if it was hackable. I wonder if Pioneer even realizes how many sales they lose because they decide to make these units hack proof. I have no problem at all spending $2000 on a unit, but I want to be able to mod it, make it unique . Lol, my friend has an Alpine Nav system in his car and he drools everytime he sees mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I just pulled out my x920 and went back to my F700, the BT call quality wasn't ever good enough to consider keeping it, even at $550. I gave it a full 3 weeks of testing with different mics, mic locations, and even 2 firmware updates, none got it past mediocre call quality. I'm not saying others won't be fine, but for me it was the dealbreaker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will keep it, at least for a while anyway until I get sick of it and buy something else. It's really not that bad of a unit overall. I guess it is just because i was used to the 700 after so long.

I find that with constantly modding it and creating new mods for it, I NEVER get bored with it and with new map upgrades, it is just like having a new unit every time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 So what was it that you didn't like about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crilleym Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 So what was it that you didn't like about it? 1.The nav part was the most important, it sucked. It had me going ways that I never dreamed of taking before. 2. Unhackable. I have been modding for over a year now and got used to having to change things when I want, although I did know this upfront before I bought it. 3. Micro SD. Even though they are fairly cheap these days, I already have numerous SD cards. 4. Day,Night mode. Unit would not change to night mode due to my Fusion not having a illumi wire. Had to manually change the brightness down. F900 changes automatically. 5. Didn't care for the Sirius display. And some other things that I can't remember that I didn't like. But I do have to say that the sound quality was better and the unit did boot almost instantly after turning key on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
