Pioneer AVIC-X910BT

Solid Performer

A little slow starting up, but all features work and work well. Clean, crisp screens and operation. I recommend this unit, I will say have a professional install it. I have had this unit 1 year

Great Radio!

This really is the most fully featured radio I've ever used.

The only thing I don't like about it is the time it takes to turn on when first turning the key.
it can take about 30 seconds or so to be fully functional..

But thats not really a big deal for me, as the features make up for it. :]

A Bit buggy

As a Factory replacement, the HU is a nice replacement. like others have said, the startup time varies and can get annoying on short trips. I'm using a 32 Gb thumb drive for media. The music selection can get cumbersome at times as it doesn't let you select letters of the artist's name for a faster selection. You've got to hit the down arrow 30 times to scroll from A to -. From there, you can't say you want to hear all CD's, you have to select just one, although the playback will include all the CD's under the artist. It's just a lot of back and forth if you don't remember which song was on what CD.
Navigation is pretty responsive, I have yet to be steered wrong from it. one thing I would suggest would be to SHUT THE NAV VOICE OFF! So annoying! The initial punching everything in to find a location takes some hunting around, and isn't the most user friendly.
The backup camera can be buggy at times too, once you start your vehicle, you've got about a 30 second gap of being able to see through your backup camera before the system either cuts it out and goes back to the splash screen, or you're stuck watching the backup camera instead of the splash screen for the next 3-5 minutes while you drive.
Bluetooth sounds fine from my end (Blackberry 8900) but people on the other end of the line hear themselves after speaking back to me.
Things I love about this H/U are the snappy response of the GPS, the 3 sets of pre-outs for seperate amps, USB playback ability, and the bluetooth contact list option.

Very good budget Navi with loads of features

The good: this unit is packed with features, its got navigation with voice commands and tells you directions, has bluetooth to talk hands free, has USB adapter, plays DVD's, DIVX, MP3, WMA, etc. Has auxiliar video inputs, can also do reverse camera video out as well, touch screen controls and also some simple button and knob controls on the side of the unit, all for a great price.
The bad: its a little slow start up, and the LCD screen is dark, so on sunny days it can be hard to see, also when you use the navigation sometimes it freezes for a few seconds, its almost like a PC when its thinking or loading the next maps

overall I think the goods out weigh the bads, I'm happy with it, and I would recommend it for those who don't want to spend over 1g on navigation.

great deal

i love my system the navigation part is user friendly, the thing wrong with this unit sometimes it freezes up about 30 seconds but that's not a big deal. I recommend it

OK product

I have had good experiences with Pioneer but this unit totally let me down. Very slow start up, a lot of freeze ups, voice control does not recognize many words, blue tooth also drops and freezes or gets stuck on one call and does not disconnect.
Overall not happy with the system. I guess my next one will not be a Pioneer.

I reccomend it!

Nice clean display only thing wrong with it is sometimes freezes up and takes kind of a while to load music when starting the nothing really difficult but sometimes can be a nuisance.

Do not waste your money on this system

This unit really sucks. Lots of freeze ups, very slow start up, causes the bluetooth to drop or does not recognize the phone anymore. In the past 6 months I had to delete and reset my iphone with the system 4 times. Gets stuck on one call and freezes after you end the call.
The voice recognition system does not recognize anything at all and you can not train it either.
The GPS is good but the POI is not user friendly. My old $150 Tomtom is easier to use and find the POI. Over all, I do not recommend this product. I had a good experience with Pioneer before but this unit ruined it.

Pros:
Large color screen, SD-CD MP3 source player, built in maps. MSN Direct, USB port AV output, Bluetooth phone support
CONS:
Navigation does not name streets-roads-Hwys to turn on. When changing from one Hwy to another it does not identify which Hwy you are going to turn into, other than the command "stay right, stay right" then "merge left on to Hwy". Navigation does not identify on which side of a road your destination will be found. The only way to describe the next error is the Navigation is easily confused, It will send you off on side roads from the main Hwy route for no reason other than to give you a scenic view or have you make a left turn only to have you make a "Legal U Turn" to get back on your route. No more MSN Direct service after 2012. Voice recognition is also very poor.
Summary:
Nice unit but you purchase an in-dash Navigation system for the NAVIGATION, at this price the navigation should be flawless. It should have ALL the bell and whistles not just the bell. I've updated the firmware to version 3.0201 so we'll see how much if anything this fix will correct.

great product!

The product is great! the navigation system works the best!
