Ok I know the device takes 2-5 minutes to first boot. But lets say I turn off my car, does that mean I am going to have to wait the same 2-5 minutes to reboot if I leave my car for................lets say 10 minutes?

Yes. But mine has never take more that about 1 minute 20 seconds. Not even close to 5 minutes

i just got mine....i timed it, so far its been around 50 seconds.

And Yes, everytime you SHUT THE CAR OFF it will need to RESTART.

Am I more fortunate since I am getting one with the new firmware built in? I mean is that a better thing?

I guess you're fortunate in that you don't have to update it yourself... but it's not going to have anything extra or better than an old unit that's been user updated. As far as we know, the new units have all the same hardware/components.

Oh and still have some major issues..... Great Job Pioneer....
