got the vids to work thanks guys!

I don't remember reading, but does this have to be bypassed to use dvd functions or no need to worry about that? I will be ordering mine Monday. upgrading from the D3

no you can still use the DVD and Navi well the car is not moving, what the bypass does it allows u to have a Video on well driving, which the only real use for that would be if someone else in the car was watching it

I put my order in an can't wait to get it. This will be my first Nav. I also order the pioneer speakers/amp and sub with the two 7900 displays. Does anyone know of any good Car Audio shop in NJ?

I spoke with a Pioneer Nav Tech a few days ago about the maximum capacities and was told that indeed the SD is limited to 8GB but that the USB was working presently up to 32GB and may be better later.

He couldn't confirm that the capacity will eventually be increased up to 250GB like previous models, or that it will be upgradable through the SD card, only that it might be possible in the future, maybe.

I am personally more interested in using a large capacity Ipod so that I can take advantage of the voice recognition system. I hope that it works as well as they advertise. My F90BT should be here tomorrow and I am anxious to experiment for myself.

The biggest reason I bypassed my D3 had nothing to do with video... it was all about unlocking the GPS functions while driving. Like another user mentioned, you can't change the route or type in a destination unless you're in park (or your unit is bypassed).

Thankfully, Pioneer has remained relatively inviting when it comes to ease of bypassing these units (they are very easy to bypass)... and I think Wizzard was trying to ask if the new F-series units will be as easily bypassed as his D3. I'd like to ask the same question. Anybody have any insight on this issue?

Check this thread, three below the one you posted in:

Thanks. Still seems easy to me...

It wasn't 3 below the thread I was posting in when I posted it. I may have past it by, disregarding it because it was a bypass for the bottom-rung 700 model.

In my defense (because I know you added the 'three below the one you posted in' comment to tell me to use the search function), I wasn't actively looking for a bypass for the models... I was just reading some comments on the Premier 90BT model to see if it was worth $100 more than the 900BT

Is it possible to change from english to metric system?

Is it possible to change from english to metric system?

The United States has had years to switch to the metric system and we have not come very far at all...

Oh, you mean the nav units? Oh, why yes! Go to Settings from the main menu, then "Nav Settings" and then choose "Regional Settings". You can then choose date format, meters/feet, etc.

LOL mikinnj!

I can't decide. I don't really use the Hard Drive, so I don't care about that... but how much faster does the HDD work? Is it much smoother ? (as far as Navigation mainly) How much different is the "look" of the couple Nav Views that the F90BT DOES have? Any pics? Thanks

Does this interface with the car computer like the orignial installed MFD system? So one gets direction arrows in the computer dash screen aswell as shows radio station and whatnot?

Actually, I did some more homework. Only one or two navigational views, no hard drive, 5.8" screen, .... what are the benefits of this again? lol

My car recently got broke into and they damaged my D1. Insurance gave me 2 options: 1. replace with a D3 or 2. pay $80 and get a F900BT. I chose option 2. What do you all think? I only paid $423 for the D1 a year ago

Take option 2; sell the new-in-the-box F900 on Fleabay; buy a new D3 from an authorized dealer, and then party with the 300 bucks you'll have left over.

Wasn't JasonH going to add more videos?

WINNER!!!!

Does the new pioneer have dual entertainment, meaning can you hook up rear monitors and use the navigation in the front seat?

Yes, you can use NAV in the front seat while playing video on a rear. But it is not DUAL ZONE. You can't have 1 AV source playing up front and another in the rear. But you can use the nav while the source is still playing.

awww thanks for the reply!

I currently have the eclipse avn 6610 and it has the dual zone.

that sucks, i reallly liked the pioneer, another thing is the smaller screen, the eclipse has 7".

That would be one of the reasons the MSRP on that unit is $500 more than even the highest tier F-series unit.

The 6610 is a competitor with the Z series, to which it is nearly identical, not the F-series.

The Jensen VM9022 has everything except voice recognition:

DVD

Ipod

Bluetooth (with onscreen keypad)

Picture in picture (for using multiple features simultaneously)

SD card

USB

RCA aux ins

2 remote controls (from back seat)

Nav -optional box (though soon to be integrated in head unit)

XM/Sirius - optional box

Bigger screen than F series

TV tuner

And yes, Multi Zone!

Now, for under $400 at cartronixplus.com (Crutchfield still $699)

Don't laugh at current Jensens. I had the last unit and it rocked...and worked! I'd still be using it if some Ahole didn't try to steal it from my car.

I had the VM9021TS. You are right, it worked perfectly as advertised. Unfortunately, NAV was not anything that was advertised for any Jensen unit.

They may have upgraded by now, but the add-on NAV was beyond horrible. Dual Zone is nice, but rendered useless when in NAV mode, because it shuts off every other function of the unit. Didn't even allow the audio source to continue in the background.

IPOD was nice, but not nearly as integrated as my D3, much less the F series.

The Jensen is under $500 for a reason. Don't get me wrong, if that is your price range and navigation is not on your priority list, it is a great multimedia unit. It's just not comparable to the D or F series.
