1) How do I lock the map view to my car so I am always looking forward? In the past I clicked on the compass, I hate this view where my car is always moving around and I have to refer back to what is North

2) Does VR only work with songs on ipod?

3) My unit says I have the firmware in, however I am suffering from all the earlier issues reported still. I can barely see the screen when set to 10 brightness, Samantha stutters like a retard when reading me directions, VR barely works, Bluetooth wont connect.

4) Everytime I goto the map screen the system asks me to set my time zone....

thanks,

Mike

what firmware version do you have?

1) The 2D view will ALWAYS be in north up mode, and you can't change it. You can, however, use 3D view, which is always oriented with your car pointing up and the map rotating around it.

2) Yes. And once it's updated the VR catalog once you can turn off the feature so you don't have to sit through it every time. You only need to have it update if you've changed the contents of your ipod.

3) So go to Pioneer's website, download and install the firmware update using their directions. You will need a 512MB or larger SD card to do it. If it works, you didn't have te update. If it doesn't, you've already got the update. Either way you have nothing to lose.

4) I don't know why it would ask you more than once unless the unit isn't keeping it's memory when you turn the car off... if you set a couple radio presets, do they stay there when you turn the car off and on again?

firmware on my unit says 1700

And yes all my presets are holding fine
