haha i know. i was just being stubborn.

tell me about it.. i ended up trading my 20gb click wheel for a 4gb 1st gen nano just because i refused to buy a second one.

i used an 8gb super talent flash drive and pulled an image file off of it with no problems.. i have no idea about the format but i didnt change anything from when i took it out of the packaging.

i have to put mine in before i start the car in order for it to be recognized.. try that.

are you putting it in before you start the car?

I'm using an 8gb right now.

I did this. I kept the radio removed from the dash while i tested it and the clip was fully in and snug. It is grounded but I used the bypass. This seems like it must be the issue. I am going to remove the doors this weekend and make sure there are no shorts. For the time being though.. it decided to work today.

installed the unit a couple weeks ago. bypassed the entire stock system because i put in aftermarket speakers. i am using the internal amp and have the speakers connected directly to the F700BT. it worked great for the first 2 weeks. i went on a road trip and all audio cut out for like 10-15 min. i thought it was a fluke. it did it the other day again and resetting the system didn't even work. then it mysteriously came back on after i started the car a few times. it just did it again yesterday and today (it's still not working) and i pulled the unit out to double check the connec

get the F and stick with a BT headset until the firmware update is released. the BT quality is the only problem I've experienced in the last 3 weeks. everything else you mentioned works great with the F.. but Ive never owned a Z.

i wish they would release an official statement so everyone was on the same page

To be perfectly honest.. i think these problems are being blown out of proportion.. i was so mad i ordered one when i heard all the negative things.. I installed mine this weekend and have had ample time to see what the big fuss was about (its a 700bt by the way) as for the phone stuff.. as long as your windows are up and the mic is in a good location (not near the speakers) it works as good as i would expect. yeah the boot time can be annoying but what did everyone expect? 30 seconds.. it takes me about a minute or two to get situated in my car, make sure my garage closes, etc..

I have a gti and installed a 700bt this weekend.. Not like Ipod control, the nav unit recognizes folders so i would put songs from the same artists in their own folder.. make sure the file name is the song title so its easier to pick your song. I have a playlist on my SD card.. its just a bunch of songs in one folder. no, you cannot build and save on the fly, from what i understand. no voice control. to unlock the full potential of this unit you really need to use an ipod.

F-series model: 700BT Phone make/model: Verizon Motorola Q Ease of connection: Easy Phone book transfer: Took <5 minutes for 100 contacts Sound quality: Decent, the phone is 2+ years old though Comments: Really simple to do the first time and nav recognizes phone about 1 min after full boot up

I just got my f700bt yesterday. It's not yet installed. Did you use the same cage and trim piece as the D3? I called pioneer and several local car audio places and everyone says I don't need one but there is no way to secure the new unit in my dash and there is a substantial amount of room on all sides on the unit. Thanks.

anyone know if the usb and sd media are controllable via voice command?
