Will the f series (specifically the 900) , support FULL Iphone integration , music , video , and all phone functions?

cant wait to see this thing in action

Mine doesn't seem to allow the video tab. Everything else is working on the iPhone. Also no addressbook transfer but thats because the iPhone doesn't have an option to send yet.

iPhone works, minus video. Some people are reporting iPhone voice command issues, and Pioneer is working on it.

The phonebook will transfer from a iPhone though, the AVIC pulls it from the iPhone.

Interesting. It didn't seem to work on mine but I'll give it another shot.

I've been using the iPhone with the AVIC-F700BT. Here is what works and what doesn't.

1) Audio works flawlessly.

2) Album art is MUCH lower quality (in large view) as compared to when you plug in a iPOD. I have no idea why. Any ideas would be appreciated.

2) Video will not work AT ALL. (I hear it's because of some new authentication chip in the iPhone, Touch, and iPOD classic)

3) BT connects, but he call quality is horrible.

4) Address book transfers, but there is NO voice dialing by using contact names. I am thinking this could be because the iPhone currently (we'll see next week when the new one is announced) does not inherently support voice dialing. You can voice command dialing specific numbers though. (example Call - 901-533-3022 will work but Call - Bill Smith will not work)

I ended up getting an 5.5G iPOD, b/c I got sick of plugging and unpluggging by iPhone and now video also works well and album art is acceptable.

Over I am not happy with the F700. When you pay this much you expect better. Pioneer better come up with some quick fixes of all their problems, or else there is going to be an overflow of returns.

Sorry to crash the IPhone discussion, but...

I have the same voice issues with a Blackberry 8830. Transferred all addresses and numbers. Will dial numbers, but not names. Sound quality blows.

Oh, and now you tell me that I can expect my IPod Touch video not to work.

I guess that's what you get as an early adopter...

Thats correct... The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPod Classic will not work for video on any pioneer unit. Like Newbie said, it has some kind of chip inside of them that only allows video to be played through apple made products. But all should allow music to come through.

The new classics and nanos work for video on the F-series

can anyone confirm that saying a name does not work for dialing contacts with an iphone?

Several people have confirmed that in other threads.

Just got my f90bt installed yesterday. I can confirm that ipod classic (80gb) does play video just fine.

can anyone confirm that saying a name does not work for dialing contacts with an iphone?

I can also confirm that saying the name does not work, I tried multiple times. Saying the number works though. The voice command really sucks for everything. Hopefully I firmware fix will help (keeps fingers crossed).

Mine works fine dialing by contact name.

Call ____ at _____ works fine

Wow... this is the first I have heard that it doesnt include apples latest chip. If thats the case... the touch and iphone will never see full support. That chip is required. That I know. If this is the case... I'm canceling my order after I confirm with Pioneer support.

Its not like Pioneer couldnt have developed for this platform. The spec has been out for quite some time now.

Mine transfered the address book without issue.

There is no "CHIP". Apple merely changed the pin order for the dock connector with the 6th gen ipod, touch/iphone series. It states in the F series specs that all of the 6th gen as well as touch ipods are compatible with the new F series. My guess is with the video portion of the iphone is another bug in the F series system causing it not to work properly. The voice integration not working properly with the iphone is a known bug and hopefully will be fixed with a firmware update.

Bro... go develop some Made for iPod products for a living... then come talk to me. The pin order has nothing to do with the authentication chip. Your guess about it being another bug is wrong. A simple google search will show you have no idea what your talking about.

Ahh ok smart ass. I happen to have done it with my iphone and with a non iphone compatible dock and a cable that has no chip in it. I have also completely disassembled the latest iphone compatible Apple Composite AV cable to set up a custom dock and cradle to mount my iphone in my car to view youtube through the aux on my D3 and there is no "CHIP" in the cable. The "CHIP" started as a myth as a way to explain as to why the sixth gen and touch/iphones would not work with previous dock accessories. The reason why they would not work is because with the touch/iphone models Apple introduced both composite and component AV and changed the pin order to suite rendering a lot of previous accessories incompatible. I also suspect just by looking at the new Pioneer ipod cable for the F series that there is no "CHIP" installed.

With the iphone?

Yes

One thing I have noticed is that sometimes your whole address book doesnt get transfered. I had to redo mine a couple of times and once or twice the whole phone book didnt transfer.

Noob here. What is the best way to hook up the iPhone to the unit? Are people using the Pioneer cable or an Apple cable?
