I'm here b/c i want to learn about my new unit and hear about news on the software update. Seriously, 6000 posts on a board that get's like 10 posts a day? Got your picture on your profile and everything? If you don't plan to buy another pioneer, you already know all the answers, and you dont support pioneer anymore then what's the point of adding to that grand total? It's not like you help anyone either. You seriously contribute nothing in 90% of the threads i read. Instead of pointing someone to a useful thread you reply with one sentence of rudeness. I could understand if you worked for the site but i dont get it. Maybe it's time to move on?

 

Nice Civic.. got an awesome exhaust system on it too? lol

VBlue42 is alright. He's on here every day and probably gets tired of the exact same questions being asked over and over again, in new threads.

 

Differences with the x930BT:

 

As it's not out yet, the only hard evidence anyone has is from Pioneers product page and the CES show where it was shown. Any and all information about the unit is coming from one of those two sources, and has already been repeated here - several times :). I mean, look at the first page of this forum alone:

 

x920bt -> x930bt software update

Transferring Voice Commands to X930BT?

AVIC-X920BT now + upgrade or wait for AVIC-X930BT?

i think i got an x930bt where can i get info on it

Changes/fixes on X930

Pioneer has updated its NAV Unit Page - Z130BT & X930BT

 

All asking variations on the same questions that currently have the same answers, or asking questions that no one could possibly have answers to yet since the unit isn't available.

 

Going solely by information provided by Pioneer (i.e. not speculation or friend of a friend rumors) the following are the known differences:

 

It has a volume button.

It has a partially detachable face - we're not really sure exactly what that means.

No VR support.

 

Pioneer has announced there will be a software update that brings the software-level features (like App mode, new maps, etc) of the x930bt to the x920bt. They have also confirmed that said update will not disable VR support on x920bt units. No other information on this update has been announced, however, if we go by the way last year's worked, it will come out a month or two after the x930bt is commercially available, and cost $150+ or so. It will include the OS update and 2011 maps.

 

Nothing else other than what you read on Pioneers site is known. The base hardware appears the same in terms of pre-out voltage, processor, flash memory size, etc.

 

This is not an official Pioneer forum, it is an enthusiast forum. When actual, hard facts are released, rest assured someone will post them here within minutes. If they are not, it's because no one knows yet.

 

That is no excuse to be rude to members looking for help, I agree search is your friend, It is no wonder this site is slow on posts.

Just my opinion.

So there is an excuse to come here and post questions that have already been answered numerous times without even bothering to search for the answer or read the manual?

 

If everyone read the manual there would be no use for this site and you. Tell me, Just what is this site for if you can't ask for help and get rude remarks? And some arn't as search savy as you might be.

Just wonderong Mr VBlue.

You know, I think there's a point in there somewhere. Something does seem wrong here. Where are all the posts about people counting down the release of the new units? There's almost no hype for them. It seems that either the market for this type of product is drying up, or Pioneer has just done a horrible, horrible job with previous units that people have been scared off. I know I'll never buy another one based on my experiences with the bluetooth phone connectivity and Pioneer's attitude about it. Add the lack of hackability and all the wow just seems to be gone.

 

VBLUE scared them all off.

I would love to take credit but I think Pioneer did a fine job of scaring people off all on their on. However, Pioneer will still sell more units then any of their competitors Im sure. Regardless of how bad or good of a unit they release. There are always new customers that either don't know about the issues or have nothing to compare to that Pioneer will do well with.
