I have the Pioneer GEX-P920XM -- upgraded from the GEX-P910XM. It has the wonderful graphical interface on my AVIC-D1, unlike the 910.

I have a question, though...

The GEX-P920XM doesn't show 32 characters -- it shows 16. Does the GEX-P10XMT NavTraffic unit show 32 characters (more than sixteen at least) in artist and title? All pictures I've seen have had by owners of the unit have shown 16 or fewer characters, but the songs and titles weren't any more than 16 characters for the artist and title fields.

I would love to have extended titles.

I've found no documentation on this.

I would like to say that it does show 32 characters, because the sample image on www.pioneerelectronics.com for the NavTraffic unit shows, however that could easily be a simulation.

It shows:
"The Red Hot Chili Peppers" <-25
"Californication" <-15

Is this accurate? Can the NavTraffic unit show more than 16 characters for artist and title?

Thanks in advance. I appreciate it!

Update:

I've went from the GEX-P920XM to the GEX-P10XMT.

Darn it. 16 Characters... What the heck! The MyFi shows extended titles and artists. Why doesn't this? Is this a third generation chipset?

I was hoping it would. The D1 and GEX-P10XMT combo on their site does! Does anyone's Pioneer unit use "extended titles and artist names" with this NavTraffic tuner?

I've never seen more than 16 characters on mine. What a disappointment!

:(

if the title is longer will it scroll automatically or do you have to hit some button everytime?

also will it show title and artist name and channel name all the same time on the screen?

The titles it displays are truncated to 16 characters -- it doesn't retrieve extended titles. I wish it did.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers shows up as
The Red Hot Chil

Their song "Johnny Kick A Hole In The Sky" shows up as
Johnny Kick A Ho

So, instead of:

The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Johnny Kick A Hole In The Sky

You get:

The Red Hot Chil
Johnny Kick A Ho

COMPLETELY different meanings! ;)
