Also, today, I found that the TTS for street names, etc is not working. On my trip it just said the basic directions, no highway names, etc. Also, could not recognize traffic circles or jug handles, just called them right and left turns.

When i'm on the map & palying songs from a usb drive, the audio skips, its like trying to do multiple things on a shitty computer that can't process the information fast enough or lack of RAM can't operate multiple programs at the same time. If i just have it on the usb menu then it plays fine. My question is does pioneer put these units through any kind of testing process or what?

Also i have the LG rumor(crap phone), The bluetooth worked flawless with my Pioneer FH-P800BT head unit. With this unit i can get my phone to connect and even download my contacts, but when i make a call, the audio just keeps playing and my phone is calling but not sound from the radio except the music which dosen't stop playing. I tested my friends iphone and it worked like a champ.

So i guess its my phone, but i would think the bluetooth from the FH-P800BT would be the same since their both 2008 units.

My last complaint is the boot time for this unit, is it just me or does it take like at least 3mins for this thing to completely boot up?

The iPhone connects perfectly and dims the radio on que, but he call quality is horrible. So trust me the bluetooth is terrible even with the iPhone. As for Pioneer putting this thru testing, I seriously doubt it. The boot time is also pretty bad. My unit also takes about 2-3 min to boot up. I mean some of my driving is less than 5 min, so it is quite annoying that by the time I reach my destination my unit has finally completed booting up.

Is there any way to bypass the speed sensitive thing? You can't fix any of your settings when your moving. My installer bypassed the parking brake, so I get the same note about incorrect install that everyone else is getting. You can't dial on the phone pad or fix the settings when your moving, you must be stopped... that's dumb! Help fix?

Also, i have a 700 and I haven't received any PC looking error pop ups. (prob. just jinxed myself!!)

Well nearly all nav systems have a lockout while in motion so thats nothing new. The reason why you get the error message is because your installer did the bypass wrong based on what is correct on a previous unit. There is no bypass for the F series yet. So what has been done to your unit is futile. It is expected that a correct bypass will be discovered as soon as someone discovers it. It will be on this site at that time.

This may be it.

Yeah, but before, like on the D3, that warning only showed up when you went to actually use the nav, now it shows up upon starting the system, regardless of whether or not you even go into the nav menus. A small annoyance.

My D3 did it every time I turned on the system. It was annoying. Perhaps it's b/c I bought one of the later versions. I bought it just 1 month ago, then returned it when I realized new ones were coming out.

That startup message was hardwired into the D3 and there was nothing you could do to remove it. That's how the majority of in dash GPS nav units are set up. I don't see why the F-series would be any different.

-My unit always has either a "Out of Memory" error pop up or freezes/reboots when searching for POI. However, everything goes just fine if I search for a POI using category mode instead of using the "search" button at the bottom left of the POI screen. Does anyone else have a similar problem when using search. Like, my results come up, but as soon as I try to browse them or go into them further for info, after a few seconds, it either freezes up, reboots, or gives me the error and then freezes some more. Also, the GPS warning will only come up on startup if the Nav was your previous screen or you were in the process of naving somewhere.

 

Also, when going into album view for the iPod and looking at the tracks for each album, the tracks are always listed alphabetically instead of being in their proper orders. Can't figure that one out. Maybe it has something to do with using the PC usb cable.

I am having both these problems. This memory leak seems to make the GPS portion of the head unit to crash since the audio and BT is still fully functional.

Also I am using the Pioneer cable for my ipod and seeing the same results too. Have spoken to pioneer directly and they are working on a fix for al of this. Guys name was CLARK. I suggest that we just calling the pioneer NAV support directly and keep hammering them with these problems.
