If you are looking for this feature in the Pioneer, pass on this brand. The Bluetooth is unusable. :roll:

I must have missed the post of how you got around it. Could you point me in the right direction/link? Thanks.

I tried all that, nothing worked, but thanks. I am going with another brand. The BT is a must for me. It's like buying a computer with two memory slots, and then have them telling you there are issues with one slot and telling you to live with it. I have no need nor want for companies such as Pioneer. "It put a bad taste in my mouth and I will not eat at that restaurant any longer." I will never buy another Pioneer product again. I earn my money hard.

Well it looks as if Pioneer's heading the cost cutting route for the consumer... which is good. They're taking away the 2nd DVD rom drive, making the screen smaller, and making the button layout more basic. They're already underbidding their competitors, and now they've taken it up a notch. Current new Avic-D2's are selling in the $700 -800s on ebay. I imagine these will be going for $500-6XX.

I can live with all the reductions above... I rarely listen to CD having Sirius.

But a couple things I'm concerned about:
1) In not having a motorized screen, does it tilt? Some vehicles have their radio low in their vehicles. The tilt is handy.

2) I wonder if Pioneer made it more difficult or impossible to bypass the parking brake?

my $0.02

does anyone know that if it has a non-motorized screen means no angle tilt? I have an '06 WRX were the double din slot site a little low and would need the unit to tilt up a bit like the z-1 or d-2 does. Is the face on this one non-tiltable??

Not sure. Will check at CES in a couple weeks

FYI, just saw an update on Engadget about the CES price announcement. Price will be a mere $1000 and as said before will be released in March! Much less than I expected considering they stated a <$1500 price point before, I figured a 1299 price point was probable but 999 sounds like a bargain from the specs! I sure hope the reviews are good so I can snatch this up when it comes out!
