Several issues - No maps from outside US Jul 01, 2010
The product functionality is great. The concept, the value for the money. But the unit has several quality issues. My bluetooth stopped working after a year use and had to send it for service cause it started to boot over and over. Hope pioneer improves these products. Honestly I would think twice after buting another unit from them.

Avoid this product AVIC-F700BT if you can May 29, 2010
I have not found other in-car product as annoying to use as this one. The GPS features are much inferior to other products such as Magellan. The audio sound quality is bad. You can't turn off the radio with a single click anywhere. This is especially annoying during the period when the system is slowly starting up. The bluetooth annoys your listener even more than it does to you. The GPS navigation is way too chatty, speaking 5 phrases every single turn. It pronounces "156th Ave" as "one fifty six tee ay-ch avenue" (what an idiot!). The iPod player cannot display non-alphnumeric characters for song titles and I was told Pioneer would never support such feature. You cannot select a routing algorithm by trip. You cannot mute or change the volume of the GPS sound without parking your car first. Even when you are not using the GPS, you will get a loud "GPS signal lost" warning occasionally. The UI (user interface) is obviously designed by programmers who have no clue about what a basic tolerable user experience should be. I wished I had tried the product before paying for the installation. I thought all such in-car products should have passed some basic usability check and boy was I wrong.

I already upgraded to the latest firmware, hoping for improvements but had seen none. I would not buy another Pioneer product even if they pay me.

wasted my time May 13, 2010
Don't buy this if you ever listen to sports or talk radio on AM. There is no reception. I spent a week in and out of the shop with no results.

Basically A Good Unit, But With Quirks That Might Drive You Insane - Read the Reviews Carefully Before You Buy Apr 15, 2010
First, understand this is not a car stereo/GPS unit. It's a computer with audio and GPS capabilities, meaning that it has to boot before it works. With the latest firmware upgrade, mine boots in 45-60 seconds.

Highs

Awesome sound.
Excellent GPS (if antenna installed properly).
- I've been especially pleased with the "you need to be in one of these lanes" feature at freeway interchanges.
Excellent Bluetooth Phone Operation.
Media Flexibility - CD, SD, USB, Radio including SAT or HD if you buy the add on module.
Extensive controls over sound, with some shortcomings (see Lows).

Lows

Glacial boot time, albeit evidently not as glacial as with the previous firmware.
- Note that the CD or radio (AM/FM/XM that I know of) begins playing immediately, though you can't control volume or change the station/track until well into the boot process.
Nearly all controls require use of the touchscreen.
Inexplicably, no BT audio (you can use your BT phone to talk - if you thought you were going to use it to play music, think again).
Inexplicably, no DVD capability, audio or video.
Ridiculously excessive GPS voice instructions.
- you can kind of rid of them by turning the voice command volume all the way down and making some other adjustments, but honestly, whoever programmed the voice instructions on this thing belongs in a mental hospital.
Complicated, multi-layer menus.
Voice controls are useless.
- among other things, voice commands don't work with the GPS functions.
3 band parametric equalizer, rather than a real equalizer.
No remote control.

Re the subject of remote controls, this unit requires you to use the touchscreen for most functions, and it's simple - use of a touchscreen requires that you devote a level of attention to the screen that is simply not safe when you're driving. If you're buying one of these, get the steering wheel interface for your car (installation was $50), or one of the wired remotes available.

I've been reasonably satisfied, but if I knew then what I know now, there's no way I would have bought this unit. For a lot less money, you can buy a very good car stereo and a portable GPS. Still, it's a good unit. If you are insistent on buying one (or any other AVIC series unit), make sure you visit the AVIC forum (Google it) for lots of good advice, hacks, and rescue procedures (I've had to reinstall the operating system on mine once).

Terribke Product Apr 15, 2010
This system is garbage after 1 yr and 5 months the system started to just restart itself over and over again. They tried to blame it on the install which was done professionally, but I have looked it up and this is a common problem of course they want you to pay $200 to fix it after I paid $850. The software they have is garbage and even trying to do the updates is a challenge. Do yourself a favor buy anything but a pioneer NAVI system, or use your money to go on a nice vacation. I just through a lot of money out the window for this terrible product.
