I've only had a chance to try to play with one in a store, but it was frozen up...not very confidence inspiring.]]>Jan 8th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/
It does connect to a back up camera.]]>Jan 8th 2009 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/Jan 8th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/Jan 8th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/
1. When using the HD tuner, you cannot store station name/callsign to an HD Preset button. You get the same "P1/P2/P3...P6" label, regardless of the frequency assigned. Good luck remembering which ones you saved.
2. Lots of the soft buttons throughout the UI have a very short height, especially for presets and back buttons, etc. Personally, I think they need to increase the size by at least 2x so it provides a better target for fingers so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to hit the touchscreen just right. Often times the wrong button gets selected.
3. RDS is not available on the standard FM tuner screen.
4. The wired remote does not support preset up/down, which makes controlling the radios from the steering wheel miserable.
5. The version of iGo 8 that Pioneer used has a bug in the automatic Timezone setting that puts it one hour off. My HU thinks it's in Idaho instead of Oregon when using the GPS to set timezone.
6. No iTunes tagging w/ the HD Tuner, even though they have all the song info.]]>Jan 8th 2009 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/pioneer-rolls-out-new-in-car-lineup-cd-players-amps-speakers/
