So is 3.0 going to be making any siginificant performance improvements? I think our common complaint of the F series has been lag and boot times. It seems that 3.0 is more of a cosmetic improvement to the system or am I off base here?
I know this is dumb question but does anyone know what processor in the F-series? The new X, Z have 600Mhz processors.
does anyone know if igo8.3 tells you what side of the street your destination is on? I'd pay $70 just for that.
that can be set in the voice file. There is a post on it on another forum. I would have to find it again. I use it on igo8 and amigo. But a lot of the times it tells you the wrong side. That is probably why they don't include it by default. I will see if I can find that post again and put the info here. I haven't tried it with the default igo8 on the avic yet.
Yes please do, that would be awesome!
i hacked my f90bt to use germany maps. if i upgrade to 3.0 am i gonna have problems?
has anyone actually gotten their hands on 3.0?
I am more than a little miffed at Pioneer's audacity here. To charge me to upgrade defective firmware! And I can safely assume the "3.0" firmware won't be much better. "2.0" still sucked. I will never buy another Pioneer product again, nor will I encourage my friends to do it.
I will not be giving them 70$ or, even one penny to fix these defects. They lost a potentially great customer here. Kenwood has my business from now on.
Your paying for the map lisence fee... Firmware is thrown in!!
i dont know if it was 3.0 or not because I didnt really get a chance to play around, but my pioneer rep has a new firmware in his f90
all the difference in the world, just navigating menus and ipod i would pay 70$ for that
the letter search can be scrolled through as fast as you tap, same for up/down scroll (even with my 3000 songs)
i think the rest is just a bonus
so they have made some improvements to it?
lately my bluetooth has been acting up. also my damn map will go automatically into 2d when i hit the autobahn and i have to change it back to 3d
the buildings dont show up at all either.

You can turn that off. I forget what its called, but its in the navi settings somewhere.
More than half of the problems people are complaining about on here can be easily solved by simply reading the Operating Manual.
I know this is dumb question but does anyone know what processor in the F-series? The new X, Z have 600Mhz processors.
The processor in the F-series is a 600MHz SiRF Titan dual-core ARM11. Same one used in other PNAs like the HP iPaq 310 series. ARM1136EJ1 core, ARM V6 instruction set.

I just posted it as a new topic. So if you want to try adding left and right to your destination and via commands.
Just went to the Pioneer website to check on the 3.0 map/firmware update.........site is down!

That is called smartzoom. Turn it off in settings.
I purchased the F90 because there are so many mods (backrounds, different icons, etc) and mine is customized to match my phone/car/and taste w/the great help of cmh928. So if I can't get the custom icons, over-ride, cnx nav or mute nav instructions and such back with the 3.0 update (i.e. no test mode) then count me out of buying it.

It's not smartzoom, which zooms in before a turn in 3D and 2D.
You want to disable overview mode or whatever that is called in English
Now would be a good time to do the hardware bypass for those of you who did the software bypass. I had previously had the software bypass and i intend to upgrade when 3.0 is released and do not want to lose my bypass expecially with the good possibility of losing test mode. I guess i will lose some hacks but hoping the update will take care of that. I did the hardware bypass today, no problems, works great! that is one less thing i have to worry about. My other hacks include: removing zoom scale, full screen cockpit mod (always defaults to on) and resizing my 3D arrrow. Based on the screen shots, looks like the 3D arrow is much smaller. If i lose the first two, no biggie. We'll see.
I would do the hardware bypass prior to upgrading to 3.0!!
I wonder if the v3.0 will included the updated XM/Sirrius logos?
Does anyone know if the 3.0 firmware upgrade contains a navigation instruction mute button. I can deal with loosing many of the mods, but I need to be able to mute the voice prompts. Thanks.

From the description... yes and it looks like they added traffic too
how about multiple lines for sirius so i can see the freakin artist and title at once...
the x-series supports stereo bluetooth A2DP. is that software or hardware? it would be great if the 3.0 software gave that ability to the f series.
i think software since the iphone 3.0 also gave it a2dp, but maybe the iphone already had the hardware built in, i dunno
From what I have read elsewhere on here, the F series Parrot BT hardware lacks the capability of A2DP.
The iPhone has always had the capability, it was just never programed (on Apple's end) to be usable.
So while Apple's SW update fixed the iPhone, Pioneer's (funny how they're both 3.0 now eh? 
) will not give the F series A2DP streaming... According to multiple posts on various forums I've read.

I had to turn of smartzoom to keep mine from going into 2d when i hit the interstate. If i am wrong thien i am wrong and didn't mean to mislead anyone sorry.
