Has anyone encountered any problems with adding the u220 with the 2013 models. I recently changed from the avh 4400 (not a big fan of the motorized screen) to the avh x2500bt. Got the micro by pass and everything works except the image of the GPS seems distorted and the image is to big for the screen.

Thanks guys for all the views. I finally got in contact with Pioneer customer service. Problem solved. The answer is: All new 2013 model radios avh-x is not compatiable with the AVIC U220. Even though Pioneer has a substantial error in the user manual -- at page 46 it plainly indicates that the AVIC-U220 add-on GPS unit can be used with this head unit. The new model is the AVIC U250.

Ugh finally an answer that helps. I can't believe I wasted my money on this POS. 

I wish Pioneer had told me this when I first contact them about my problem, I've been given the run around for months.
