New firmware update fixes this.

Wow! Now this is some coolness!

Giessen - Could you attach that modified navigatemap_800_480.ui file to a post here? Provided you havn't made any other mods to it, it would be considered a "solution" to the box problem.

true, but you can't control them and have to wait a bit longer before the volume knob and other controls are becoming active. so turn your volume down before you stall your car if you don't want to wake up your neighbours the next day in the early morning. Volume is changeable almost immediately upon startup with AV sources. Here's something interesting - I booted the unit in testmode, and as soon as WinCE was up, the HDRadio was playing with volume control. I assume that's a hardware passthrough from the HDRadio module. But yeah - I posed a boot time question in the thre

I don't know about the phone type - but yes - the unbearably loud volume happened to me too. I ended up resyncing the phone a couple of times and continued to screw with the "Phone Volume" level on the AVIC. eventually it stopped fluctuating (flatulating?) and settled down.

Did you end up using the DB editor? I edited my contact list using the Windows based editor (from the thread below) and suddenly (viola!) every contact is recognized! I don't know if it's the rewriting process or the fact that I reduced the list of contacts to ones I actually call, or the fact that I reordered them to have more frequently called people at the top of the contact list. Am I correct that everyone who has no voice command of contacts also has no caller-id on the unit for the same contacts when they call you?

It will show up on that "connecting" screen eventually... takes a good 5 to 10 minuts sometimes. Biggest wait is for MSN to send activation (provided they send from the correct area - ie the one you're actually in). I left my car sit for close to thirty minutes till it finally activated.

I'm wondering... Anyone think theres a difference in boot times based on model? I would imagine the units without MSN direct or DVD or video codecs might boot a lot faster that the f90 or 900? Would anyone care to measure? EDIT: Here's what I got using my handy iPhone stopwatch... (times are cumulative) Ignition on to first light/Splash Screen: 07 secs Splash Screen to the end of "loading": 76 secs Ability to use unit (background tasks I assume): 88 secs Bluetooth Connection: 106 secs Fully functional, no lag : 115 secs So we're talking just shy of 2 full minutes. Which doe

Yes, I'm having some of the same issues. I think it's the 2.0 firmware. I've had connectivity issues with a couple of other BT handsfree stuff since i switched to the 2.0 (2.0.1 to be exact). I think the functionality of the F90bt is partially to blame too. And if anyone has a diffrent experience with other devices, please, by all means chime in - but i've found: 1. Incoming calls, once answered on F90bt continue to ring and never allow you to pickup (seems to happen on the first incoming call after connection) - when attempting to answer using phone, disconnects call. 2. Dial by vo

Stephanie, did that have the sounds removed? I didn't think you'd updated in that release.

Type is what you want, but remember that the contact name is what VR is supposed to use (not that I've ever gotten mine to work). 0 - Other (Unknown maybe?) 1 - Home 2 - Work 3 - Mobile 4 - ??? 5 - Main

2G does it all too. Video playback as well. Only small inconvenience is the apparent inability to delete a contact from the F series. If you are like myself, I have multiple numbers for contacts, and contacts I don't ever call. Since the unit downloads each separate number for every contact, it doesn't tell you (in the contact screen) which number is which (i.e. Home, Mobile, Work) so dialing from the the contact screen is tricky.

I've bought my last three Pioneer units from Amazon (which is usually a "sold through" some other company) but every time I've had warranty issues I send in my receipt from amazon and have never been questioned. Currently $89.95 plus ship

+1 I should have strong data/signal also but my antenna icon never shows any bars. Yeah - we spent half a day trying to figure out why there were no bars - HD Radio is the culprit. I'm going to try splitting the FM antenna. Speaking of which - there's another Pioneer When it see's HD Radio on the Bus, shouldn't it turn off the FM and AM inputs? Since HD will tune analog anyway?
