Pioneer AVIC-X910BT feedback

[496 BB]

Anyone used this? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19739_Pioneer+AVIC-X910BT.html ?

Just wanted to know how the mapping was and also the other features. I guess its time to get up on the tech as Im still using old school single din. Backup feature would be nice with my trailer I use everyday along with the phone and talking into the air....never knew you could do that! Thought u had to have that gay ear piece. Whats your opinions? I trust this place as thats where I got my subs from last month and they are good.

I'm looking at the 920 myself, but kinda want the analog volume knob from the 910.

If the mapping is anything like the D3 and Z1 it will be awesome.

Well heres the deal on this. Plain and simple: if you have a stereo and an excellent headunit now this will sound horrible. It just does not have the custom ability that my current radio has (DEH-7600MP). It in fact sound half of what it does. Hell even my friends noticed it that are not in to SQ. So it sucks as I spent a good 3-4 hours fabbing up the mounts and conversion parts to fit a double din in my truck. So with all that said here is a few other things not pointed out that should be noted:

There is also a pink wire that will be needed to be hooked up to the trucks vehicle speed detection circuit. I never did find where this was as I tried the radio out first and took it out afterwards. If this is not hooked up the GPS will not work properly.

Also there is Reverse Gear Signal Input wire that needs hooked up if a rear camera is going to be used.

I have heard but am not sure some trucks did not have one or the other of these wires to tap into. I dont know for sure as I didnt get that far as I knew I was not going to use it. Kinda sucks as that radio looked bad ass but I guess Pioneer short changed sound quality for other modern day gadgetry. I want both so I went out and bought a Garmin and kept my HU.

I just put a 710 in a F-550 and coming from stock it did sound a bit better, but I agree, it's not the best....

Pioneer is slow as hell on start up. That's what I hate about mine!! I have the F90BT

I honestly don't know much about audio stuff and didn't plan on going overboard with the setup, but that review is a bit disheartening. Do you have a recommendation for any other double din GPS setups?

Or is it just a case where you get GPS but suffer on the back end?
