More affordable than the AVIC-HD3, SUNA compatibility, plenty of input sources, good display, easy navigation

Turn-by-turn directions mute other audio, no reversing camera packaged, limited video format support

For the driver who desires an extensive in-car entertainment experience, the AVIC-F900BT certainly delivers on most fronts. It is much more affordable than its predecessors, and a number of refinements make this the best AVIC device yet.

This head unit has everything I wanted Nav, Bluetooth, MP3. The Nav works good not garmin good but close enough. I have the 700BT so I don't know about the MSN direct features but I would like to check them out. Bluetooth works great syncs with my...

Long boot time. You can speed that up by turning off VR catalog mode and starting it with the fm radio playing rather than I-Pod, USB, SD. The Voice command features are the worst! It never works right and it will crash the OS. I'm not in to voice...

The GPS is well integrated. DIVX, the must have feature. I love having access to the CD/DVD slot without folding the screen down. The SD slot is great and what really sold me on this unit. looks nice ie: girls like it

Screen looks bad compared to units from other vendors, Preamps outs are VERY noisy! Bass is sloppy. Sound quality is decidedly bad. This unit is not for music. I have not been able to hear the GPS voice or people on the phone - just no sound. There is...

Outstanding feature list, bright display, simple menu navigation, and fantastic overall sound quality*(see cons). The unit fit's very well into double-din applications, very flush "factory" fit in my '08 Tacoma ; While it is not recommended as an...

To those who have decided to amplify with this system, and those who have expressed "noise" from your speakers, please note that while Pioneer has designed some excellent equipment, this particular model is well known for horribly noisy RCA outs,...

Well the iPhone works well with it since it charges using usb rather than the firewire pinout on the dock connector.

Slow startup and basic functions. This thing has lag like a 14.4 modem.

Very nice head unit. Everything anyone can ask for.. HD radio/XM/Ipod/DVD playback/Nav system, etc.

Takes 30 - 45 secs to complete boot-up... not really that big of a deal. (Radio/XM/Ipod, etc works during boot)

Voice recognition for ipod music and calling out on the phone. This works very well. Built in Navigation that works ok. Bright screen, built in blue tooth, HD radio ready. Shows album art from IPod, 30 Second boot up time till music and map is...

It's too bad the boot up time can't be say 15 seconds, but it is windows CE so that probably isn't possible. -The blue tooth even with the 2.0 firmware is still buggy with the iphone 3g, especially with the control of calls with on screen status. it...
