Mine does that too. Someone explained to me why, but can't remember the whole explanation. Anyways it has to do with the timezone, but the unit does not really "think" you are in idaho. Make no damn since to me and Pioneer definatly should have fixed that.

I've never had it explained to me. Sounds like it wouldn't help anyway. But I WOULD like to know if you found a workaround for it. That problem really makes me crazy. It can figure out where I am in the world down to like 3 feet but it can't get the damn time right.

Well, I thought it was due to the whole time-zone bug that was in iGo 8.0 R1, and that the new iGo 8.3 based Ezrider.exe would incorporate the fix that was in iGo 8.0 R3. Guess not. Sad really, Tom Tom and Garmin can get it right when I run those on the AVIC w/ LeetLauncher, guess the timezone info in Ezrider/iGo is still hosed for the Oregon area (amazing that WA, which is in the same timezone, has it set to Pacific correctly). Maybe it's something bonkers in the map data...? Really wish Pioneer would set up some sort of Bugzilla/trouble ticket system we could submit real-world Q & A data to for things like this.

Not to appear dumb here .. did any of you setup your HOME location on the GPS side of your HU's ? Not just the TimeZone ..

What does home location have to do with the timezone bug?

Home location has absolutely nothing to do with the Auto Timezone bug. The Auto Timezone feature is supposed to adjust your clock to the correct hour depending upon your current GPS location and the daylight savings time status for the current location. Sadly in Oregon (at least in the area bordered to the east by the Portland metro area, to the west by the Pacific Ocean and to the north by the Columbia River/Astoria from my limited testing so far) iGo/Ezrider sets the timezone to Mountain Standard time and prints the region in the settings as "America/Boise". But from anecdotal evidence elsewhere in the forum, if you cross the Columbia from Astoria into Washington state you're magically transported into the Pacific time zone! Bizarre...

Mine departed UPS' Ontario, California terminal on 8/1. I should get it Friday since I'm in the Chicago area. UPS is not showing the estimated arrival on their site yet.

Most likely these were produced in Japan as they're shipping from a warehouse in Long Beach listed as NYK Logistics. NYK is a steam ship line. A few weeks in transit from Japan to the US is likely if they were sent in a container via a steam ship.

I am at the point of cancelling this order and demanding a unit that actually works, I expect my order to say product shipped with a tracking number by the end of the week, if not they can go ahead and stick this firmware and unit up their arse. I paid full price for the AVIC-700BT when it came out and at first it was a pretty good system, but over time problems with bluetooth and overall sluggish response of system performance including random freeze ups that it unlocks itself from time to time makes this unit more of a road hazard to me while driving than a actual assistant because of all the troubleshooting steps I take to fix it while driving, to the point where I just hit the reset button every time.

If maybe the unit ran Damn small linux or some variant and VLC it would expand on the current AVIC-700BT capabilities and dramatically improve system performance. Instead the base of the system itself is comparable to my T-Mobile 3G which has 100mhz more of capable processing power than my AVIC has in specs. That's pretty sad when you put it that way, but it goes to show how Pioneer crapped this unit out of their ass and I fell into their trap with all the eye candy and features that I now know all work halfed ass.

Thank you Pioneer, you have till the end of this year to fix the problems with this unit, thank you for tarnishing your name even more in the mobile audio/video community.

I called Pioneer before I ordered the update for my F700BT (7/20) and they said it wouldn't ship until August. Patience is required. At least their still supporting it.

It's awaiting shipment because they're not shipping for the units other then the 500 at this time.

They did not promise it by now, and there was not a firm date listed.

If you would like to head to Pioneer to personally cancel the order and inform them of where they should put it, feel free.

I say cancel the order, give up on the unit, and walk away if you're that unhappy.

Me? I'm perfectly happy with my F700, I could have better, but at 2x the cost, it does what I want, for the price I want.

Oh.. and if it's so easy to fix in your mind, feel free to join the mod community and make a difference!Other folks have, and their efforts are very appreciated.

You have the OFFICIAL 3.0 Release or are you talking about a hacked version of 3.0 ??

As of right now, 3.0 OFFICIAL has not even been shipped and received by anyone (here in the US that is).

I was told by Pioneer that my product will ship in August of this year, but had no real schedule time of shipment, I was willing to wait because of this, I made my order on July 03 of this year over the phone because of it. It is August 3rd now and I still been getting the same information I was getting a month back. I would of least preferred to hear from the operator a "we have started shipment of the new firmware/map updates the system you just need to wait for the system to hit your order" then that's understandable, but to give me the same information as before and after I confront them about it and don't really have much of a clue that's when I get upset.

Also because of the full cost I paid for this unit, it's kind of hard getting back the money for a product I originally paid 850.00 and now with a actual retail value of 700.00 and for actual used value of 500.00 I lose 350.00 if I do try to sell it. So selling the unit is out of the question, instead I am going to have to get my money's worth on it by modifying it and simply get the order with the updated maps to later get iGo running.

The on-board processor is ARM if im not mistaken running at 500mhz, I wouldn't know much on the programming aspect of it, but I am sure there is a reason why it hasn't been done already so before I jump into conclusions which I have, I am going to go check and read up on some of the attempts made already to get the AVIC into a new system altogether, I am sure it can be easy for it to run linux, the problem will lay to make everything work including XM, buttons, touch screen etc.

Should of just made a car computer...darn it.

Last I looked it's still August and there are 4 more weeks left in it.
