I installed the F90bt and in the same vehicle and it had excellent FM reception and AM reception for all my stations...

It's interesting aftermarket stereo manufacturers don't put more money into the tuners... i guess cuz FM/AM is old technology and now it's all ipod/DVD/CD/jumpdrives, etc...

MSNDirect on F90BT

To guy with the F90BT:
Do you get MSNDirect on your unit, its says that its available on the box and on pictures in the manual but it doesn't show up on mines.

For MSNDirect go to Destination. It should be on the bottom right hand corner. You know that you have to activate it by paying for it?

nope not yet. Didnt have the chance yet. Planning to do it this weekend depending on the weather.

How did you get all the wires to fit behind the HU?
I had to just shove everything behind the hu and put in the screws. This cant be good.

LOL - i agree, it can't be good long term -- especially if there is tension on the wires/harness/plugs etc

I basically had to have a second person hold the headunit while I separated wire bundles in three directions, left, right, and down -- below the headunit there is a nice space for the PAC unit and a bunch of wiring, and to the left and right in the rear of the space for the headunit there is empty space that you can stuff wire bundles into. I suggest you electric tape off wire bundles into three or four groups so that it's easier to keep wires out of the way as you put it back in -- also you'll need to keep wires away from the fan.

The alternative is to take down more panels to be able to literally have access to wires behind the headunit once it's in place, but i think that's overkill..
