Robert Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 looking to get a system like this soon, are they any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I have one and I love it.... Does everything I need it to.. the menu's can be a bit fiddly but otherwise it works great. Sat-nav is spot on and does the locating by GPS and a built in gyroscope so no loosing signal in bad GPS reception areas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 looking to get a system like this soon, are they any good? Robert give me a shout if you want prices, I can get the 'hardware', cheap you'll need to source the DVD locally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I might be able to burn you a DVD copy of mine.. for evaluation purposes only of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 rallure.. got mine fitted a couple of weeks back in town.. let me know if you want the name of the place.. (just round the corner of elephant and castle) they were very good, helpful and quite quick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Nish Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Anyone know the rough going rate for one of these? I must admit they look the biz, could do wihtout carrying seperate bits for GPS etc. Nic - a price from you too please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I Paid about £900.. (nic couldn't get this model at the time i got mine, but believe he now) but if you dont want the sat nav there are alot of cheaper options with same kinnda spec' ie single din, touch screen, DVD, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 wow thats well cheap i just went and forked out £600 for a Indago....had a proper Alpine DVD sat nav before..and this is great but bit Micky Mouse compaired to the Alpine I had...This Pionner seems well good value...does it do European mapping?

IDO Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Been using it for a month now and the sat nav is great.. and it covers all of europe on the supplied DVD software.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Been using it for a month now and the sat nav is great.. and it covers all of europe on the supplied DVD software.. God its so tempting...wish i hadn't seen it he he, on my Alpine system it used to name places whilst on Motorways like 'take next exit towards Uxbridge' very useful abroad to check and correspond with the signs..does it do this on the Pioneer? I guess there is no available Camera detection option...also how secure is it does it have some sort of face off system...thanks !!! Cheers Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Got one of these - great system! Shows car fuctions too e.g speedometer (more accurate than stock) and voltmeter. The Sat unit has aux and camera inputs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 just to add some variety, i have the Alpine IVA-d310RB and nve-099 nav system - very nice too and similar spec to the Pioneer. doesnt have vehicle dynamics software like the pioneer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDO Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 not sure on camera detection option.. still haven't read the manual!!!! if not, there is probably someone somewhere with a software hack for it... (must look in to this!) ps yep the bottom half of the "face" comes off for security (there is even a little flashing red led to show theiving w@***rs that the head unit has been taken out!)

supRo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The sat unit has a dedicated camera input (handy for parking - rear view!) IDO - from audio source screen go to setup and there's an option to turn this on As far as I know, the Sat Nav data disk security is yet to be cracked should you wish to make a 'Backup' copy!

IDO Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi, supRO think you miss-understood, think green peace was asking if there was a Camera detection function.. as in does it know where speed cameras are.. like road angel thingy.. I am sure one of my mates saw on a ice fourm that there was a hack to put the speed camera details in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure one of my mates saw on a ice fourm that there was a hack to put the speed camera details in.. Ahh right! Sorry I did misunderstand. There is an option for Camera detection that you can switch on but I don't think it's for the UK as it doesn't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
