So Ive seen brief mentions of a second update. Is there been some concrete word form Pioneer reps or Pio themselves on a second update or is everyone just wishful?

supposedly the new update is DEFINITELY in the works. i had ordered one but they're not shipping it to me until they fix more bugs... i wonder what they're targeting? supposedly this is only on the 900 though. weird?

 

 

has anyone else heard differently?

 

 

btw, thanks whichever CC employee told me this...

a pioneer rep told me that it will be a second updated and it will be released mid to late august.

at this point I would be afraid to do another update. the first one totally wiped out my TTS. After doing the updated instructions still no dice. :(

So in real time that means October, right? Seems like Pioneer's calendar is about 2 months behind....

is this 2nd update only for the US?

 

OR is it for Canada as well?

I have a F90BT and am seriously unhappy with its performance.

 

It is installed in a 06 Civic and should work seamlessly.

 

PROBLEMS:

 

1. The boxes on the map have to go...

2. My voice commands are crappy - is it true I can only call numbers or change source?

3. When I use the dialpad to dial, after I connect I need to press numbers to get through extensions - how can I get the dialpad back DURING a call?

4. Bluetooth doesn't want to always connect to my Blackberry 8100. Sometimes yes, sometimes no - it must be reliable!

5. A hibernation state would be EXCELLENT - and NEEDED! It takes 2-3 minutes for the system to boot up and connect my phone (if it connects) - this is UNACCEPTABLE

 

AM I ALONE IN THIS?

Just like with the previous update, nobody will know what is included in it, what regions it is for, and when it will be put out until Pioneer publishes that information. Once that happens, you won't need to ask that question here, because the answer will most likely slap you in the face the second you open up this site, through sticky topics and front page bulletins.

I have never seen a hands free system that includes this. I would rather use my phones keypad for touchtone sending anyway. A touchscreen can't be operated by feel, my phone can.

my kenwood dnx5220 is doing this fine, it's a button called DTMF. when you tick on this it will open an full keypad so you can press 1 for voice mail, press 2 for delete, press 3 for save etc etc.

 

i can even type and send sms messages. 8)

 

when driving my vehicle with the dnx5220 i leave my mobile in my jacket. but with the pioneer i have my mobile at hand (what is illegal when driving)

All Lexus/Toyota systems do this as well as probably plenty of other cars. Why have the keypad available only before a call but not during, logistically speaking?

i think the bluetooth problem you have is on the blackberry's end... a lot fo GPS systems (garmin, tomtom, etc) have problems syncing with a blackberry and keeping the connection... did you try anymore phones?

has anyone seen any improvements with the iPhone 2.0 (original and 3G) since the first release? I have waited a long time for this system and it seems like a lot of you guys are still having troubles that go passed "acceptable" for a hands free system. I'm understanding if a system isn't suppose to be able to voice dail but when it's a big selling point of a system and it doesn't work; I just get discouraged.

 

Thanks for your guys patients in using the F serie products; you guys are the ones that make it easier for others that haven't used it as of yet.

I never tried my original iPhone with 2.0 on it, but when I got my 3G and then upgraded the firmware voice dialing by name started working (by number had always worked), and video playback started working (before the video tab had been grayed out).

Can you dail by voice with a contact with multiple #s? If so I think I'm investing into the f-series finally!!!!!!!!
