 Amazing once you install the firmware upgrade Aug 15, 2008
By M. Moon
Pioneer has acknowledged that the first release of this system had issues ... freezing up, parking break warning for no reason, lack of proper brightness, etc. But they issued an upgrade in July of 2008. THIS UPDATE FIXES EVERYTHING.
I have this unit, I used it before the update (lots of problems -- all clearly explained in multiple posts all over the internet). But I downloaded the firmware, installed it, and now it works AWESOME. I truly have to give it to Pioneer for acknowledging their error and spending time to listen to owners and fix it.
I love this unit. I hook up my Iphone 3G and watch podcasts, listen to music, and everything. I have SM radio for it and I use the GPS all the time. I use the bluetooth with my iphone and the call clarity is fantastic.
I'm serious when I say this is a great value and much better than the D3 unit it replaced, but you have to install the firmware. Do that and I'll love it.

 New update solves a TON of problems Oct 30, 2008
By MorningZ
Pioneer released version "2.0" of the firmware tonight and it addresses:
- Showing blank backgrounds on the map's upper left and right of the screen
- iPod connection dropping out
- better BlueTooth connectivity
and
- MUCH fast startup time (like 40% increase)
This update turns this unit from a "would not recommend" to a "would totally recommend"

My daughter love this unit Jul 06, 2008
By H. Weiner
"Harry"
I purchased this unit for my daughter's Honda Civic, and WOW she just loves it. I had it installed to work with the existing steering wheel functions and added the IPod adapter which is installed in the glove box. She just plug it in and used voice commands to access her music and podcasts (this uses the same software as the Ford/MS sync systems). As far as the bluetooth, I was amazed how quite it is when I called her I had to ask where she was because it was so quite and clear. The vice commands work real well and the sound is very good for a car audio system. This unit does not have the DVD the ft700 has the cd player. I guess I do not understand why someone needs a dvd player in the front seat angeled toward the driver.Anyway this does everything I need to make sure my daughter is watching the road and not messing with the, music,the phone or directions.
Update Pioneer Just released a free firmware update 7/21/08

Re: Free Firmware Update for AVIC-F90BT, AVIC-F900BT & AVIC-F700BT
This firmware update applies only to models sold in the U.S.
Pioneer has become aware that users of the AVIC-F90BT, AVIC-F900BT and AVIC-F700BT may experience issues with one or more of the following: navigation voice guidance sound quality and reading of guidance information; brightness of display screen; Bluetooth sound quality and hands-free calling; parking brake warning; cataloguing time for voice recognition of iPod content; song order within an album for iPod content; playing of MP3 music files for USB content; volume control for USB and SD content; and, Spanish and French mode operation with an iPod and with navigation voice guidance.
The free firmware update is intended to address these issues and improve the overall performance of the AVIC-F Series systems. In addition, a separate CD-ROM containing a revised operation manual will be provided as part of the update process. The firmware update, however, does not address reported concerns regarding the length of boot up times. As is the case with other computers, the length of time to boot up an AVIC-F Series system is largely due to the numerous demands (navigation, entertainment, information, connectivity, compatibility, etc.) placed upon it.
10/29/08 ---New free firmware update
This firmware update (version 2.0) contains important performance improvements relating to, among other things:
Boot-up time
Bluetooth connectivity (including certain Blackberry models)
iPod Touch (v2.0) compatibility
Touch screen response
Display brightness
SD and USB media playback.
Please visit our website for more information on how to obtain this NEW free update, which can be accessed at the following link:

 Shows Promise, but Too Slow and Too Many Bugs -- Update Jul 01, 2008
By i9im
UPDATE: The latest firmware helps greatly with the speed issues and makes the bluetooth usable. The system is still slower and buggier than it should be, but it is vastly improved. 3.5 stars.

This unit seems to do it all, but once you have it installed, you will find out that it does have severe problems.
The BAD:
1) The bluetooth hands-free system does not work well. You can hear fine through the car speakers, but on the other end of the line, your voice is barely comprehensible. This is a huge problem for me, because bluetooth was a major factor in choosing this unit.
2) The system is SLOW. It takes about 2 minutes to fully boot up before you can access any on-screen controls. Music starts up after a few seconds and the volume nob works while the system is booting up. A 2-minute boot up likely makes a rear view camera useless (though I haven't tried one yet).
Also, there is noticeable interface freezes, where the interface will either not recognize a press, or be delayed several seconds.
3) I have had issues with my phone. The AVIC will not initiate outgoing calls, but this may be related to my phone (Samsung T519).
4) The screen washes out in sunlight. You might have to shield the screen with your hand in order to read the map.
5) The map does not rotate with your car direction in 2D mode. In 3D mode, it is often slow to draw and it leaves translucent boxes on screen where the nav directions will appear, even when you are not navigating. Neither is that big of a deal to me.
6)GPS Nav voice gives too much guidance. This is minor, but annoying. It basically gives you preparation messages too often (something like 1 mile ahead of time, .5 mile ahead of time, 1000 feet ahead of time, and when you are at your turn). It also tells you to "prepare to enter the highway in 400 feet" when you are on an on-ramp or have already entered the highway. Where else could you go?
The GOOD:
1) GPS reception is good and routing seems fine.
2) The screen has high resolution and is clear. Washes out in sunlight, though.
3) The music quality is good.
4) When entering an address, it will automatically filter the possible street names as you type. When it has the list down to a few choices, it will present the options to select.
5) SD card slot supports SDHC.
6) Plays XVID videos at certain bitrates.
Things I didn't try: iPod support, Satellite Radio, Rear View Camera.

 So so .... Feb 11, 2009
By David Tyree
So I got one of these to go in my 2005 Subaru WRX STi. The fit and finish is pretty good. Overall I am pretty happy with it, but it is somewhat buggy. (I have the 2.0 firmware update on it.)
I use this with a 3G iPhone
Here are the bugs that drive me crazy
- Often it can't find my iPhone (for iPod usage), reseting the iPhone fixes this, but you may have to reset it every 2 or 3 trips :/, which takes about 5 minutes
- Sometimes it gets into weird states when making blue tooth calls, and either I can't hang them up, or I can't get it to see them. So I pretty much might receive call that makes the system unusable for a while after the call.
What I like about it
- Integrates iPhone / Bluetooth / GPS / SD Card
- Screen is pretty good
- GPS is OK, not great
What I wish was better
- iPhone integration
- Touchscreen, could make it easier to press
