Thanks - it looks like I should have looked better prior to deciding on the F30BT... Alas, the thing is in my car now and I hope to get it operational as optimal as possible.
In an other post THIS ONE, I read great progress in hacking the F series. It suggests that it works for the F30BT as well, however, no GPS functionality yet when running with other software. Is this correct, can I ‘hack’ my F30BT this way, but still run the original Pioneer software (and GPS) as if nothing has happened?
