Hey Guys.

 

I just order my F700BT from an online store and it should be here on Wednesday or Thursday. CAN'T WAIT! First of all just want to thank everyone who participates in this site!

 

my question that I have for you guys is...is there a difference between the European Units and American units? When looking on eBay and different websites, I onlt saw 1 site that referred to the radio as the American version. Is there a chance that I may have purchased a European unit somehow?

 

Question sounds very stupid I know, but any help is appreciated!

Different hardware (FM spacing is different in Europe) and software (voice control is not supported on EU units, different mapping data, etc.).

 

So far no one has completed a software transition from EU -> US or EU <- US, although people are working on it.

if i ordered my unit from a seller in florida i should be getting the american unit right? i mean i wouldn't think they would sell a radio in america with european maps on it! lol

If they're reputable, you would think they would sell US units in the US.
