[HiHo]

Standing by...

[Todd]

Which are you getting???

I mught have to trade out my D3 for one of those. Need to decide if I'm keeping the car first I guess

[Raudermaster]

WOW!! That is awesome. Too bad me and my g/f are moving out so it looks like I'm out for now.

[magindat]

Shut up, dude! You're keeping the car!

With all you've got, the only things to gain are voice command and MSN direct. Would be hardly worth re-spending the money.

Actually, I'd have jumped on the same setup you have if I'd had the money then. Getting this one was a case of timing!!!

[HiHo]

John, it seems from other sources on the net that the units either are shipping or will be shipping by the end of this week. Any thoughts on that?

[Pops]

Its when Pioneer ships them. We buy direct plus I have a friend who is a distribuer and they have not seen them yet. They told me the end of June.

[Pops]

I now have 2 of the F700 in stock and ready to ship.

[JayC]

Hi John.. nice talking to you on the phone today. Please put me down for an F90.

Thanks!

[Pops]

Already on the list. Thanks!

[00 Aggie]

Any backup cameras or ipod for this system out yet?

[magindat]

Any backup cameras or ipod for this system out yet?

Back up camera available. Comes ready to interface with Ipod. Cable included as I recall.

[Pops]

Tha back up camera that is in this forum works with it! :D

[00 Aggie]

I am thinking about getting this for my FJ Cruiser, do you have the harness that would work with the Fjs stereo?

[Pops]

I shoulds have but need to know if it has a premium sound system in it.

[00 Aggie]

It is the premium version.

[teamrope]

Will it interface with the steering wheel controls on the MM?

[Pops]

Yes it will with a interface that costs 60.00.

[00 Aggie]

Do you have the interface and steering wheel controls that work woth the FJ?

[Pops]

I have the interface in stock for the steering wheel controls and have to order the install kit. i also need to know if you have the standard radio or the JBL system to get the correct wiring.

Thanks John

[HiHo]

John, I suppose its a good thing that you haven't gotten any early F90BTs in as it seems, from reading posts in other forums, that Pioneer released a bit prematurely. Apparently lots of little bugs and Bluetooth functionality seemed broken. Pioneer has stopped shipping and is instituting fixes before resuming. Guess if you want it bad, you get it bad.
I'm in no big hurry.. let them get the fixes implemented for trouble free operation.

[Pops]

I talked to the Rep this week and they are now in the country. Should see some any day now. Thaks for waiting!

John

[Pops]

Update on the Avic F90 BT. The first run of these has software problems and do not work. I am told that they should be able to ship out the decks with the corrected software this week if they pass the final inspection. I will post up again as soon as I have more information. Sorry for the delay but all I can do is wait for Pioneer to get it fixed and we are better off having produuct that will work so the frusation level stays down.

John

[magindat]

:razz: to all those who thought they were gettin's somethin' when they came early!!!! Now they're :banghead:!!!!

Thanx John!!! :up:

:beer:

I'll wait patiently... :popcorn:

[illwood]

Hi John!

When's your cutoff for getting on the F90BT order? I am trying to talk myself into one.

Thanks!

[Pops]

Thanks!

I will honor this price for awhile. They say the problem is fixed and they are supposed to start shipping this week.

[illwood]

I'm in for the AVIC-F90BT (I'll also need the adapter harness for the MM and the bit to keep the steering wheel controls).

Let me know what you'll need for payment.

Thanks!

Got the order Thanks and i will contact you mnext week!

[Pops]

The Avic F 90 will be arriving here this Friday. I will be able to start shipping them on Monday. I will contact you on Monday if you have spoken for one. We will be getting 5 units and they are sold unless some of you have changed your mind. Thanks for waiting and these units all have the upgrades in them!

[Vortech347]

Awesome. Will the interface adaptor install plug and play?

I'm really excited about this because with my new MM I want to install something like this. To install them do you need to do any unreversible changes if you want to put the stock one back in to sell the car?

When you wire up the adaptor, it will be plug and play to an extent. You lose the factory subwoofer and the CD changer (if you have one). BTW, take out the orange spacer in the adapter that plugs into the factory harness. It won't "click" together until you do this. I didn't notice and the lack of a good plug seating caused only my driver's side speakers to work until I figured it out.

You will need to do a little cutting of the dash no matter which method you use and that will make it difficult to put the stock radio back in without another dash bezel (the radio would drop down about 1/8" of an inch or so.

I'm willing to be another install resource with Rich if you want to PM me with questions.

[Vortech347]

It says that MSN is required. Does this mean the GPS will never update itself? also do you have to install an antenna? Thats to bad you loose the factory sub. I was hoping to keep that and not have to add another sub.

[illwood]

MSN isn't required, but it is available. I used the radio for a little while without MSN and then activated the free 90 day trial of the MSN Direct (it's used for checking gas prices, movie times, weather, and traffic). I haven't found the MSN Direct to be overly useful.

You do have to install the GPS antenna. I despise having things stuck on my vehicle that weren't factory attached (I went as far as mounting my Speed Pass / EZ Pass transponder behind my rearview mirror in such a location that you can't see it from the driver's seat), so I have my GPS and SIRIUS antennas mounted on the back shelf behind the two bumps for the child seat latches. I ran the wires under the housing and through the hole for the 3rd brake light. I should take a picture of that and post it.

[Vortech347]

I would definatly like to see a pic of that.

Is there any way to make the factory sub work?

[GreekGod]

Give it up!...You have begun the downward spiral of sound system upgrades, and there is NO turning back....The factory sub is tiny, and not worth keeping. I have heard much more bass from a pair of 6x9 rear deck speakers.

Mount the GPS antenna in the windshield/dash pinch on passenger side. Use provided metal sticky plate.

You WILL occasionally lose GPS signal mounted in back shelf when travelling due south.

I have never lost signal in 8 installs and 3 years of ownership with mount as described above.

I haven't had any problems with this yet. I'll pay attention to see if anything changes, but my being in New England, there might be different satellite antenna locations that work in the vehicle due to the geographic location. Kinda like that picture that was posted to show the angle of the satellites for the satellite radio for different locations in the U.S.

[Pops]

We have put thim in the center of the dash also and they have worked good there.

The Avics have built in gyros to keep on course via dead reckoning for tunnels and such, too

That would be better!!! The passenger side is a slightly easier wire run IMO for the do it yourself installer.

[Master]

I dont see the slot for the cassettes? Is it hidden behind that picture thingy?

[Pops]

No cassette on these Master!
