You are right Lisa – it came with my Kia Sedona – I told the dealer I did not really want in dash nav but that model was cheaper than trying to get one without it. The phone book transfer has never worked with my Nokia C3 or my Samsung SGHt459 AND THE BLUE TOOTH DOES NOT WORK WITH THE nOKIA c3 EITHER. So annoying with the current hands-free laws that the bluetooth does not work. Silly me assuming it would work with all phones. I agree with everything you’ve said!

My dealer had one installed it has 2008 Nav software when I called Pioneer about about the old data I was told I would have to pay for the 2009 nav data data. What a nice company!

I just recently bought this new model for my car but I didnt know it locks you out from watching DVD video/movies while your driving. Just to let everybody know, I do not watch movies while Im driving. I know its dangerous I only want it for my passengers entertainment. Anyways there is a website that has a how to guide to unlock these features. Check it out, its called Pioneer Avic F900Bt Bypass
Pioneer Avic F900Bt Bypass Guide. I loved your review, Regards.

Thanks for the review, Lisa! I too was in the market for a NAV-enabled car audio upgrade and I think this one is off the list.
I LOVED telenav on the Blackberry, so switching to the iPhone annoyed me. Google maps is ok, but when you are driving a manual transmission in the city, it would be so much easier if the phone could just tell you when a turn is approaching instead of having to look down.
I am keeping my fingers crossed… Apple hinted at turn-by-turn navigation with the OS 3.0 upgrade… finally!
