  1. Yes, your list is a bit short but right on. How about the following: - unit switches to NAV when a call is placed or received - bluetooth sometimes takes 30-45 seconds to disconnect fromthe phone after a call - iphones dont work for shit even though they were released a year prior to the AVIC - GPS goes ape shit when an iPhone is connected. Nothing like "GPS signal lost" as you drive down the freeway! - contacts suck as and are way too limited for people with 250+ contacts - bluethooth can't switch between different phones unless you manual disable one of the two phones first -
  2. Never has worked from what I can tell.
  3. That's not a bug. Oh, excuse me. Technically, you're correct. It's working as designed. It's just a PISS POOR DESIGN. It's a FLAW. Get over yourself and your unnecessary technical squabbling. my iPhone pauses the audio when linked via Bluetooth but does not when another phone is linked and the iPhone is connected so it pretty much is poor design.
  4. Actually posts like this is why good people go away....
  5. As a general rule of thumb a 10" sub sounds tighter than a 12". Two 10's will give much more sound than a single 12" and given the right sub (10"), will provide plenty of boom
  6. Being a day one purchaser, this update brings the unit to what my original expectations were. The overall usability is improved and it is very nice to have the contacts transfer without major issues. GPS - MUCH better without the blue boxes Bluetooth - seems worse on my iPhone 3g as people are having a much harder time hearing me. I wish they would fix it so the unit changes to GPS mode while on the phone and make the box transparent so you can see the entire GPS screen (i hate how it covers the ETA so you can't tell the person on the phone when you will be there). Unit itself -
  7. I honestly would say no as the traffic is never correct. I typically look at Google Maps on my iPhone to see the real traffic conditions. Case in point, 9.5 times out of 10 I can be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and the AVIC will show all green on the freeway where google maps shows red.
  8. I have noticed the image on the AVIC411 website shows the button flush to the unit. Am I missing something or is that not on the F90?
  9. A few more things since I have had some good time to work with the unit. 1. While watching a movie on the SD the system will switch to NAV during an incoming telephone call. 2. Bluetooth doesn't mute the audio when a telephone call is established about 25 percent of the time. 3. Ipod is constantly failing on the VR Catalog. Disconnecting works maybe half the time. Update 1.0 was good, just need to finish the product! Since I have been messing with DIVX files and such this week it is clear the head unit does not have the horsepower to switch between very many things. Sometimes i
  10. The Sirius interace is the most disappointing part of the F-Series IMHO. It is like having a brand new 2009 radio with a 1st generation sirius tuner.
  11. More problems: 1. 8GB SD card is causing freezes and reboots during extended viewing of video (DIVX file). Three times it has froze and rebooted watching three different movies for longer than 30 minutes. 2. Bluetooth has ended two phone calls in the past 24 hrs. I do 1-2 hrs a day of phonecalls while driving each day.
  12. Still Broken 1. GPS switches from 3D to 2D while in route. 2. GPS loses location and goes into constant "recalculating route" until the map button is pressed 3. Can't remove the horrible gas station PIO's 4. 2D map is unusable (always North) 5. Still lose iPod connectivity through out the day for no reason 6. Sirius forgets to scroll (needs a complete re-write of this interface IMHO) 7. GPS, while in route, constantly is giving directions. For example you are two miles from an offramp. You get the 2 mile warning, 1 mile warning, 400 yard warning, take exit, stay right, stay
  13. I wonder why they are displaying a unit that appears to be based on the current F series yet the NAV looks better than what we have today......
  14. I wish we could get those PIO icons! http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_ga ... 10_018.jpg The ones on my 90BT are so old fashioned.
  15. Bluetooth is almost unuseable at this point as all I get are complaints or static or tons of backround noise. My cheap Jabra bluetooth works better with me driving down the freeway at 80 with the windows down than the F90 at a stop with the windows up. Blackberry 8830 is the phone.
