This is my hate list against pioneer and how they can have such horrible engineers. I dont get how they can make the best plasma on the market but the most god aweful interface around!!!

1. IPOD interface is horrible.. you might as well use your own ipod to see what songs you want to play hooked into a AUX input.
2. 8 characters, I mean cmon who the hell wants to read half your title of song on your ipod.
3.XM radio characters are horrible as well as the graphical interface
4. DVD playback fast forward and skipping is horrible.
5. when in nav mode my XM titles dont show up
6. when face is down and xm is on all it says is xm tuner not the display info.
7. Fans are loud
8. The fact that they make you bypass there unit to save on insurance costs.

Other than that the unit is great... I just wish they made it easier to tweakk all your settings ont he unit rather than to depend on there crappy creative abilities. Thats my rant!!! Cant wait for the next best thing from pioneer. I hope there is only up from here,...

1) Navigation does not always take you via the best route
2) Re-routing is retarded in memory navi-mode. It is never the best way.
3) Scrolling through MP3's takes FOREVER
4) User manual says that you can have different EQ settings for different sources (Radio, MP3, DVD, etc), but that doesn't work
5) Sometimes the touch screen can be a pain in the ass and not always work right away.
6) The rear source can only show DVD or Navi. Would be cool if it could show DVD or whatever was on the front screen (ie. rear cam or something).

All and all though I'm happy with it, and the more I use it the more I like it.
