Map is horrible Though this functions just fine the GPS function sometimes takes you the long way. Other than that its a pretty nice unit. I have not checked for updates for the GPS but out of the box I would think twice before following the GPS directions as a simple 30 minute route may turn out to be 45 mintues.
Not worth the money. GPS Function 1/5 If you are planning to buy this unit to use primarily as a GPS device DON'T. The gps navigation software on this Pioneer unit is archaic compared to the Tom Toms if you have ever used one. The search function is down right unintelligent. Example each time I search for a location it will not bring up by the the places according to my current location. I will bring up every single location it finds in my state. In addition if you want to search for something specific you have to enter in the current State. After using it for 1 year I still can't get used to it. The gps software will get you from point A to B fine detours are quick route calculation is quick but the joy of getting from A to B with this navigation software is terrible.Bluetooth Phone Calls 2/5 I have paired many phones with this unit EVO 4G Samsung Epic 4G iPhone 4s And every single caller I talked to said that the call quality from my end is not clear. However I can hear them fine. Music playback from bluetooth connection is beautiful.Oh did you wanted to mute your unit? Please wait 5 seconds because that's how long you have to hold the mute button down for before it takes affect.If I had to do it again I would not buy Pioneer's unit and take my business elsewhere.
Possible FIX for Bluetooth linkingcalling Problem This radio is ALMOST perfect for my wife except she has always had intermittent hands free Bluetooth calling problemsSince she is not very good with technical problems I Googled and found a comment at [] which indicated that the ORDER of doing radio to cell phone Bluetooth is very importantSo I sat in her car and developed this stepbystep instruction for my wife her car and Android phone which we will test later to find out if the phone must really be in hard OFF mode or if it may just be in the usual wait mode where the screen is off but the phone is onAfter two tests I can say that this procedure WORKS to use voice calling1. Cell Phone OFF2. Start car Radio in GPS mode press OK @Message3. Cell Phone ON wait to start completely4. Move the phone puzzle piece to unlock5. Watch radio for Connection Success message6. Press HOME button & select Phone in center7. If the icons are all there you are linked8. Press Contacts to force a download from Phone9. Press MODE button to go to GPS on Radio10. Press lower left corner for list of options11.
Under rated Pioneer I have to say I'm a little taken back by some of the negative reviews here. My X920BT works like a champ and rocks nice and hard. Talk about options! I can listen to a SD USB iPod Bluetooth audio tuner and CD. I think the interface could be a bit better but it's not a deal killer.
Great product a must buy Let me start with the best thing the price. The dealer installed wanted $1300. I paid $500 for this and $150 for the install. This allowed me to buy the back up camera and have that installed too.The next best thing is the Navi system. You dont have an external thing hanging on the windshield. The fit and finsh with the kit looks better than the factory nav system.Of course you also have streaming blue tooth songs contact etc. All have been mentioned before.
Disappointing Buyer Beware Really disappointed with this product and the terrible customer service I recieved from both Car Toys installer and Pioneer manufacturer. The problems are numerous terrible user interface poor sound quality outdated GPS graphics an unusable voice control system etc. It's not my unit alone I've had it replaced 3 times total of $400 laber costs and each time the new unit failed as well. After calling Pioneer technical support and venting I was confided that the voice control issues are well known and just nothing you can do about it. They suggested use the iPhone voice control. Well duh I would have saved myself $1200 if I was ok just doing that. I checked out the later model AVIC X930BT and it looks like they've made some strides in the user interface at least it has a knob to use to scan stations. Really if you want a hands free safe dialing package don't go for this one.
AVIC x920BT Great product i have had it in my 2004 explorer for about 3 months now. No complaints and works amazing. Note if you have a iphone you can control the iphone through this via bluetooth. I didn't know you could control it at first so i ended up buying a ipod connector. I recommend you have it professional installed i had mine professionally installed and it took him a good amount of time to finish and get everything tweaked correctly. It starts up slow but that is to be expected with any navigation unit. There are websites to help improve the unit as well but i haven't needed to do it. The speaker for the phone isn't the best. I have a SUV so i get a lot of car noise picked up by the speaker phone. Maps are basically uptodate for my area.
Pioneer AVICX920BT Well at first everything on the radio worked fine i had it professionally installed and it was sounding great the blue tooth worked fine until a few weeks ago it just stopped working now thats a great feature to have your phone sync with your in dash unit and been able to play music from you phone without using a cable the GPS works great and is on point only fault i have is with the blue tooth.
Horrible Worst human interface ever. Try to tune an AM/FM station while driving huge screen and tune buttons are minute. I had to prop my hand on mt dashboard so I don't hit other bigger buttons and they are worried about entering navigation directions while driving. Sirius interface is the pits one line of text with hardly any info good luck to get the scrolling to work. Would never have bought this the manual that I reiviewed online about the sirius interface is a lie.
Save your $$$ Really frustrated with this producta User interface stinks! Simple tasks like switching stations requires a lot of diverted attention do not try while driving. Station presets setup doesn't work very well. The integration with a hands free steering wheel control is terrible.b Navigation is bad!!! often times it shows me driving through a field or the middle of a building. WTF!c Boot time it takes longer to boot up with every drive than my home PC doesd Voice Recognition Terrible Frustrating SImply DOES NOT WORK. 10$ success rate. I'll ask for closest gas station and she'll recommend some pizza joint 4000 miles awaye Pioneer customer service miserable admitted the unit sucks tough luck attitude recommending selling it on eBay and buying the next model. Nope won't be buying another Pioneer in dash.Save your time and money use a cheaper stereo that just integrates with your iPhone Android or Windows Phone Nav and Voice Recognition Unit. No way Pioneer is going to pump out something better than Microsoft GOogle or Apple.
