Okay...my buddy upgraded his X920BT to the new "2011" (haha) map software and firmware upgrade.

 

Pioneer changed the icon in the AV source selection screen for the iPod to a picture of an iPod connector on the end of the cable instead of an actual iPod itself.

 

Umm...WTF? Seriously....WTF? Do Pioneer's engineers think for users will be familiar with a picture of the CONNECTOR than an actual iPod???

 

I'm constantly at a loss to understand the head-scratchingly bizarre decisions Pioneer continually makes. I know this is a very trivial example, but it stands out as one of the less explicable choices....

well i would hope that everyone with an iPhone or iPod does know what a 30 pin dock connector looks like.

 

if it makes you feel any better, my F-series has an icon of an old ass ipod that hasn't been made in a long while.

 

 

 

if you think about it, there are many many different looking iPods out there, but the dock connector has always looked the same.
