Had it a week, returning it.
Pro: Sounds good , bluetooth ( I added that) is crystal clear, navigation is average. Brightness changes like it should day/night, not too bright at night. Responds instantly to touch commands, no lag time.
Boots fast. Mute button does just what it says and is programmable! When a call comes in, the music mutes and you answer the call and it sounds like they are right next to you (iPhone4) and you don't have to shout (even in a diesel).
Con: Can't be hacked once nav module is plugged in so you can't change addresses while you drive.
Scenario: you're going 70 down the highway and get a call telling you the wedding location has changed to a new address. You have to pull off the road, stop and then input the new address: ASININE!
A warning message would suffice like any other stand alone GPS unit, I'll decide how well I can multi task, not some engineer or lawyer at Pioneer.
There is nothing on the web, Pioneer's site, that tells of this shortcoming so you find it out only after you buy it. An expensive lesson.
The EQ is preset and I didn't find a way to change it to my preferences.
Never did see any way to display a key pad to dial the phone but it is supposed to do that somehow. The whole interface is a little cumbersome to use and not very intuitive but I can take part of the blame for not having had it long enough to get used to it.
