Hey guys quick question, I have the choice of buying a f90bt brand new without the 2.0 software or I could buy one with the 2.0 software. The one without it is $50 cheaper. My question is, how hard is it to install the software and it it worth the $50. Thanks

let me modify it, because some people might take it the wrong way. I know I need the 2.0 software, I will get it either way. My questions is, is the install of the 2.0 software worth saving $50 or is it a hassle and should I just spend the extra 50.

Get it without the 2.0 and goto www.Pioneerelectronics.com to download the update and instructions. It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

OK and by me doing it myself, it is just as equal as the update coming with it right?

technically, yes. However, i know some people have had issues updating the firmware to 2.0 for whatever reason ... i personally bought my unit from 6ave.com b/c they were already updated and i imagine Pioneer checks them out before shipping them to make sure the firmware was updated correctly and the unit functions ok from the factory.

 

I'd pay the $50, but that's just me paying for a little more peace of mind.

i just bought mine and it said that it came with 2.0

so i thought it was already loaded but when i opened it up it had a sd card that i had to load

i would buy the one with out and just get the update online save 50 bucks

it isnt hard to update just load sd card and turn on unit

I'd save the $50 and update myself.

Provided BOTH units were new and came with the Pioneer Warranty

Well I ended up getting one with the 2.0 for 493 shipped...Is that a good deal?

Honestly, anyone who buys a unit and pays $50 extra because it came with 2.0 is....

 

Well... let's just say a fool and his money...
