I totally Stevey G, i had a lenghty and heated convo with pioneer saying that the voice box voice regognition was not working and after about 10 mins they finally got round to telling me that this was only on US models ! !
I think thats discusting, the model should be advertised as a different model F900BT-US or summat because without the model name being different how are you ment to know that it will have different functionality.
You buy the system, spend money to get it installed, and only then find out no voice recognition ! !
I was thinking the same about the US firmware upgrade but my worries are:
the uk maps wont be on (only uk) the DVD not working (the whole regional thing, PAL etc) the speed cameras not loading that you get free for a year because of them being for uk
there are probly others . . .
i would like to know if i could do this though because that the only thing that this system lacks, appart from that its spot on.
i can even live woth the long boot time, that because great system, loads a functionality its brand new, Pioneer (great make) and its only ~£800, i mean i a long boot time is the only thing thats going to be wrong then im extreeeeemly happy.
