I installed 3.0. After rigorous testing I have determined that I hate this fucking deck. It has made me miserable. I am pulling it out this weekend and selling it for whatever I can get. Fuck you Pioneer, you have lost a potentially great customer for life.

 

Thanks to all you guys on the forum, most of you are pretty cool, and try to be helpful, keep up the good work, and have fun without me. Maybe I will try to start up a Kenwood forum :)

 

Eat a dick Pioneer. And you wanted me to pay 60, or 120 bucks for this.

I have made my contribution, who do you think found the software hack for the speed sensor, so people did not have to go modifying their harnesses.

 

Yo, THIS guy.

I have listed my problems with it over and over. The ONE fix that they wanted me to pay 120 bucks for was that the buttons are faster, and that was MICROSOFT'S fix! They hadnt fixed squat. Worst customer service ever.

 

The second time I booted it up, by the way, it started trying to take me to some random location!!! So I have determined THAT bug isn't fixed. And that was one I didnt think I would see until a month from now. HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

 

That better?

Why don't you send this E mail to Pioneer if you want them to know what you think.

 

 

I felt the same way about kenwood after installing two faulty DNX5420's one had a blue tooth fault and the other would not load or eject DVD RW disks without the drive motor stalling and leaving the disk stuck.

 

The kenwood UI is poor and the garmin maps looked like they were made by a kid let loose with coloured pens, the good points are that the display is crisper and the Video picture quality is much better as is the audio quality, overall after going back to a F900Bt I appreciate how much better it is to live with, not perfect but at the price better than the equivalent kenwood.

Thats a good idea, I will email Pioneer. Though I am not sure if I will discuss the 3.0 software part. At any rate. I don't know if I will go with Kenwood either. I may just forgo NAV entirely and use my little reliable Garmin. Its just not worth it.

I found it lying on the side of the road, and offered it a ride home, hehe.

The search might help you. This is my final thread, after all this crap I have put up with I am entitled. And I will point out YOUR contribution to this thread is no better. Thanks. No more discussing this with you.

Thanks, like I said, I may not get any NAV system. If they all suck. If I had to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant douche, I choose nothing.

I am plenty happy in life, just hate this unit.

How terrible... he used a stolen software update, and still could not get the thing to work. May be, after all, the problem isn't really with the unit...

I'm generally disappointed too. One of my biggest complaints is still the TTS. I just don't understand why Pioneer couldn't put a Loquendo TTS voice on there. They sound so much better than the RealSpeak voices. I've tried loading a couple on with the required DLLs but i either just get silence or it reverts to Jason. Doesn't make sense since all build of iGo 8.3 should support Loquendo AFAIK. If someone could get one of these voices working, and i could get dial-by-name working, i would be pretty happy. Doesn't look like either is going to happen though...

 

I had actually been thinking of selling this unit and picking up a Z110BT. It looks like a sweet unit, but it still uses that god awful Samantha TTS voice, and i'm sure still has the same issue with dial-by-name. It is still using VoiceBox afterall. Seems like Pioneer is just too damn lazy to program anything worth a shit. I mean seriously, they spent more time designing the new faceplate for the X-series then they did on 3.0 firmware. They just compiled a new version of CE, copied the new iGO files from NNG, and called it a day. Thats how it seems anyway.

The software worked the way it was intended, terribly. If I had paid 60 bucks like a giant sucker I would be even MORE upset.

I am putting it up on ebay as I type. Don't worry you wont have to read any more about all the flaws in your precious AVIC from me any more. At least not from me.

 

Searching through your history, I dont even see so much as a .ini hack - one that many members have used and benefited from might I add. Stay classy.

Selling it with 3.0 on it? I'm interested to see what it brings. Might sell mine too :D
