Tip with Pioneer Avic F700Bt

I just bought the Pioneer 700 from Crutchfield. When I tried pairing my blackberry with the bluetooth on the unit, it would connect for about 10 seconds and then disconnect. The remedy is you have to go on pioneer's website and there you can download Firmware 2.0 for the unit. You have to download onto your computer and then onto a sd card. It is pretty straight forward and doesn't take long. And best yet, it is free(aside from the sd card if you don't have one) Hope this helps anyone buying the unit. And by the way, loving it so far. Got a pretty good deal on it. $430 new. Happy Holidays everyone!

 

Great info and I'll add it to my list of "fixes"! Oh, and happy holidays to you too!

 

Did you get this installed somewhere or do it yourself? I'm looking to get the avic-f900 installed soon.

 

this is the navigation one right? doesnt have the dvd player or does it

 

Does not have the dvd and does have the nav. I was going to attempt to put it in, but decided the $150 to have it done was well worth it. I had the hard wire connect for the ipod put in also. I am still coming up to speed with the unit. A lot of people have complained about the lag in the start up time. THe radio goes on about 10 to 15 sec after starting and the screen boots up shortly after. I was told by Crutchfield that the better units usually will. I am liking it so far.
