Looks like it's Tele Atlas maps. No biggie.
I wonder how much more responsive is the MSN Direct is, when compared to XM NavTraffic? The NavTraffic isn't well integrated with the D3 when it comes to actually notifying of traffic incidents & reroutes. the D3 tells me of these incidents when I'm actually stuck in traffic and reroutes me back into traffic, which is kinda annoying to say.
If MSN Direct performs a lot better, I might have to make the switch.
The Z2 specs say 1440 x 234 which is actually 480 x 234. They count the red, green, and blue pixels separate (480 x 3 = 1440). Bogus marketing if you ask me, but I am happy to see higher resolution displays coming to market. Assuming the 800 x 480 is correct, the F series would have a little over 3.4 times the resolution of the Z2.
Yea thats what I saw as the Z2 specs so I thought it had higher res, I dont have one so I woudnt know. That is quite shady marketing lol, thanks for clearing it up.
Anyone able to find a video of the new Avic F-series? I found one of the united kingdom Pioneer website but the link was recently removed.
There is also a video I took in the very first post.

Ive been trying to open it for several day now and it never opens. Maybe the format. I try to tead throught entire tread before bothing people with my questions because on antother forum im the one getting asked and i hate when the answers have lready been said, but dont get me wrong sometime ansers get barried in a $hit load of pages.
Any different format you your video or suggestions?
Its a standard mpg file, anything should play it. Try right clicking on it and "save target as".
Does it support dual-zone?
No
Can you confirm that Daul-Zone is not a feature of the F series?
This is a biggie

It's not in the pre-release feature list, so for now I would have to assume it's not a feature. On the other hand, everything is subject to change until it's finalized.
Our rep said no dual zone and it won't send navi to rear screens, just like the D3

Does this apply even on the top of the line f90bt?
yep. Gotta go to the n or z series for dual zone. Sucks

Out of curiousity, why is dual zone such a necessary feature for you?
Just curious, cause I never use it...
To tell you the truth, its not at all for me right now but I understand why customers want it. If I ever add headrest monitors or an overhead it will be important to me too

Thats dumb... Why wouldn't they have it send Navi to rear screens?
Is there any updates regarding the F500? Everything here seems focus on the in dash units.
Release date?
Will the HD radio tuner work with the 500?
I saw somewhere about an add on Mosfet 50W amp, any info?
Would be absolutely the best if the face plate from the in dash units worked as a portable. I would consider that the ultimate hybrid.

That would also be a GREAT security solution.

One word. Kids.
I have a daughter who likes to watch SpongeBob in the back with headphones while I listen to my ipod through the speakers (helps keep my sanity). I guess I could get a stand alone dvd player, but what a pain. Why can't Pioneer make a head unit that "has it all"? I'm looking to replace my N1 and was looking at the Kenwood DNX8120 until I saw this. (Sigh)
Awesome find. That album art view looks awesome. The maps look damn good as well. Hopefully the entire manual is not too far behind!
Also, I noticed that for the destination on the GPS, there is a green call button on the bottom right hand corner. Finally, looks like we can directly dial up a POI after finding it!
Check this out:
Nice find! Thanks for sharing, I linked it in the first post also.
son of a, I just installed the DNX5120, this looks sweet. They took care of stuff missing on the D3.
