 Feature-packed and Customizable December 23, 2008

I installed the AVIC-F90BT about 2 months ago and continue to be impressed by its features - it has everything I was looking for in an A/V/Nav/Bluetooth, etc. unit.
Direct iPod and USB connectivity (cables included) along with a front-loading SD card slot to serve as yet another music/video source and also readily handle firmware and nav updates (which Pioneer will send to you on an SD besides making them available for download) are plusses. Bluetooth pairing with my Blackberry Curve and use with my iTouch (and my daughter's iPod nano) has been flawless. The unit is readily bypassed (at your own risk) to avoid a parking break warning when trying to watch DVD's, etc. And springing for the "Premier" F90BT vs one of the other F-series Pioneer units gets you another year (for 2 years total) on the factory warranty and beefed-up 4.0 volt pre-outs (for those interested in speaker/amp upgrades as well). And just as it is, the internal amp actually improved sound quality (depth and separation) over the stock head unit (it actually sounds like I upgraded the speakers).
I've also got the unit accessorized with XM and HD radio tuners, and a PAC SWI-PS adapter that allows me to use my steering wheel controls. I'm going to intall a backup camera soon, just because I can. If there's a bell or whistle missing, I haven't realized it yet :-)
And maybe even cooler is how customizable it is. Pioneer provides an AVICFeeds download which allows you to easily manipulate things lke your splash screen or POI's (Points of Interest). And if you're willing to go into its WinCE environment - you can change looks and functionality (yes, even a bigger clock!) to your heart's content. There's a very active hacker community already devoted to this and similar Pioneer units (check out www.avic411.com).
Now, with all this said, this unit may not be for everyone. With all of the features involved, coupled with glitches due to its Windows software environment, it can be sometimes frustrating to users. Bad initial impressions are sometimes left with "slow" bootup times (although not really slow considering all of the features being dealt with - my bootup time is on the order of 30 seconds), finicky touchscreen (actually much improved if one just goes through the screen calibration procedure), etc. Spending quality time with the unit and the manual (bring your laptop to the car because the huge manual is provided on a CD) does yield dividends.
If you're looking for absolutely state-of-the-art features and customizability, this unit has no peer.

I really enjoy using this unit in my '07 Frontier. The sound is great, the bluetooth works perfectly and the interface is easy to use. My kids love that I have changed the splash screen to a picture of them. It's really simple to switch from the map to AV source selection screen as well as switching between different AV inputs. I have an SD card with music on it, my iPod Touch (1st gen), a DVD with music and videos, the HD radio unit and they all work seamlessly with this unit! I like that when you're in the map screen and listening to something on the iPod the album artwork is displayed as a small thumbnail in the bottom right corner of the screen...kinda kewl ;) Also, being able to change what three items to display in the information key on the map/nav screen is kinda kewl too. The MSN Direct usually works really well for me in San Diego. The unit can get really aggressive with traffic avoidance when using the MSN Direct traffic input while guiding you to a destination which, I don't always follow because the traffic information isn't necessarily up to date with the "live" conditions...but, it's close. Having a backup camera on my truck that operates automatically with this unit is a HUGE help...no more worrying about hitting, or running, something over and it helps a ton with parking ;)
The only real complaint I have with this product is that the fonts for information laid over the map screen are too small of a point. The clock font is a horrible color to have to see against the map background during the day which makes it very difficult to see clearly. That's about it for complaints really...overall...this is an awesome in-dash navigation stereo unit that is easily upgraded via the Pioneer IP bus and works very well...nothing comes close for the price either!

Pioneer just released another update, 2.0
it fixes a lot of little bugs that weren't fixed with the first update. And dramatically improves the boot time. If the unit has been updated to 2.0 it will have an orange dot on the box now instead of a blue one. Or you can download the update and install it yourself from Pioneer. Highly recommended !!!
