Question since you do not have the dual climate control installed, does the temp display on the driver and passenger side or just the driver now?

Thanks! Looks good!

Great thanks still trying to decide if I am going to go ahead with the dual mod feature..

How do you like th Pioneer overall?
I think it has the nicest display but I have read that it is a little slow?

Would you reccomend?
Thanks!

If you wouldn't mind sharing, how much did you pay for the setup? Does that unit have voice activation or whatever it is? Hows the nav?

Thanks

Pete

i payed 1000 for the radio, i believe 170 for ac control and 70 for double din everything brand new and i also bought the steering wheel control but it was on back order for about a month and just got shipped out yesterday. It has the voice activation but i haven't used it yet and the navi is pretty accurate i have the gps antenna and also wired to the speed sensor. Oh and the steering wheel control was 83 shipped i believe from crutchfield

When you say you have the GPS antenna, do you mean that you bought a separate one? Also, is the speed sensor wire right close there? or did you have to rip stuff apart to get to it?

You payed 1K for the radio alone?!?!, amazon.com has the same radio for around $600 and the steering wheel controls for $50.

the Gps antenna comes with the radio. Do you have the bose system? When you drive and say you have your volume up on 17 and you get over 40mph your radio gets louder correct? The speed sensor wire is in your stock radio harness ill be taking the radio out again to hook up the steering wheel control so ill take pictures of everything for you

Yeah, sorry I'm an idiot. Just ordered an F90BT along with everything needed, so I can't wait to get this installed
Thanks for the clarifications

Yea i got the radio for 1k from best buy with 4yr warranty. And the steering wheel control for 83 shipped from crutchfield. And yes you may think i got ripped off but if i ever have issues with anything i know i got my items from well know company's and i wont have issues with exchanging them for new ones. I prefer to pay a bit extra but i know in the long run i got everything i need and it works great. I mean i ordered the steering wheel controls at like 9pm and 2 min later i get a call from crutchfield so they make sure it will work with the radio i got and the car im putting it into. I cant think of better customer service then that.

I am also looking into this unit. I was comparing the F900BT and the F90BT. here is the link

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/po...002567a8c0RCRD

i do not see any difference other than that the F90BT has ipod cables included, and that it has a pre-out voltage of 4.0V.
Anybody using the F90BT?
Is that higher pre-out voltage better for the G?
I think i have a name on my income tax check.

how did you set up your EQ setting with that unit? My sounds terrible, I think my friend's honda fit sounds better than my car... i have all stock speakers etc except for that unit... im sure it can be adjusted to sound good.
