    AVIC HD1BT Leads?

    Probably because no one has any idea here, ya think? Contact Pioneer directly. Yes it can be a long wait.
  2. No one can know for sure, and we won't until the updates actually come out. If Pioneer's update history for these units is anything to go by, I wouldn't get too excited about it.
  3. Good question; I use a 2gb myself. I only have the thing for updates. Technically I think you can store media on it and play it that way but it's not terrible useful. The only decent media interface is the one built for the iDevices.
  4. Updates can only be done via the MicroSD card.
  5. For what it's worth, there is a recently formed Car Connectivity Consortium that has as one of it's goals to set standards for interaction between vehicle systems and devices like Android Phones, iPhones, iPads, Windows Phone, etc, etc. Like most such endeavors it will probably take years to be fully realized and not meet all every "wouldn't it be great if" ideas, however it's better than nothing. However, one company is not on that list. Can you guess which one? Pioneer. The reason you see so many of these HU's support full iPhone integration, with coming support for apps, etc, is
  6. VBlue42 is alright. He's on here every day and probably gets tired of the exact same questions being asked over and over again, in new threads. Differences with the x930BT: As it's not out yet, the only hard evidence anyone has is from Pioneers product page and the CES show where it was shown. Any and all information about the unit is coming from one of those two sources, and has already been repeated here - several times . I mean, look at the first page of this forum alone: x920bt -> x930bt software update Transferring Voice Commands to X930BT? AVIC-X920BT now + upgrade or wa
  7. I have the bypass and the update had no affect on it. Also I highly recommend doing the update, while it doesn't magically fix every annoyance this unit has it does have some pretty major ones. VR alone is almost (except for the voice) passable now.
  8. Having to put the city in every time bugs me too. Especially with VR, because I live in Austin, and without fail it will ask me if I really meant "Boston" or "Malin" (despite the fact that my state is set to Texas. Boston? Really?). There's no way to inturrupt the VR while it's going through it's spiel either so every single time I set a destination by voice I get to go through the whole charade. After a while it gets really irritating. Really, their entire Nav is in need of an overhaul. It's terrible when stacked against a lot of the competition, but about a dozen little tweaks or fixes w
  9. The better option would be not to buy any of these units at all, no matter what the brand I'm serious. First, get one of the newer, larger Android phones - The Sprint Evo, The Verizon Droid X, etc - one of the ones with the 4.3 inch hi-res screen. Or the new iPhone with it's slightly smaller screen, whatever, all that matters is you get something that has an interface you like and can work with. Then get a nice car adapter dock for it - ProClips sells the best ones, I think, though they can run you $80 for the phone dock + attachment. They look really nice though, and the docks allow you
  10. I've used Proclips for years and agree, expensive but you get what you pay for. My iPhone is my camera otherwise I'd throw up some pics but basically I have the mount with the dock on the bottom, I ran my Pioneer cable up through a gap next to my glovebox so it hardly shows, it clips in to the bottom of the dock, the phone in the top, and all is right with the world. Holds it rock-steady too. I like the idea behind the Spec-dock since (if installed right) it's a "neater" looking solution however as you discovered the phone support is non-existent, in fact it's so bad I could see it damagin
  11. You can get the 920BT a lot cheaper, I got mine for under $750 shipped from an authorized Pioneer dealer (Al-eds) and you can get it even cheaper than that now from dealers that are actually reputable. For the 120BT, even with discounts you are going to pay several hundred dollars more for what is really a small set of additional features, screen aside. The obvious one is the screen, and 7 inches really isn't that much more than 6.1. Personal choice really but I doubt you would look at the 6.1 screen and say "that's too small". Other differences: 4v preouts vs. 2.2 on the 920. Eve
  12. Invisible shield makes generic kits that are basically large sheets you cut to fit. Bet it's a pain in the rear to install though, they are hard enough even with a kit that is pre-cut to the device you are putting it on. Why do you think you need one? The touch screen on this is already squirrely enough without an added layer of plastic on top of it. It's already got an anti-scratch coating of sorts on it too so I have to wonder what the heck is going on inside your vehicle where you think this is needed
  13. How lazy is this? It's not like that they didn't come across a 12v ACC power line when they installed the thing. Hell they could have just tapped it right off a fuse in the fuse panel like people with Radar detectors have been doing for decades.
  14. Lame. Super lame. You think that's a victimless crime? That it just affects Best Buy and they are so big it doesn't matter? Wrong. Stupid shit like that hurts all of us. Stop giving moronic advice. If you have enough cash for an iPhone and an aftermarket stereo for your ride you have enough to afford the right cable without resorting to cheap tricks that in the end just makes it harder for those of us who are on the right side of the law.
  15. What are you talking about, hiss? I installed my x920BT myself, with new amp, speakers, etc and there's no hiss at all.
