Pioneer Navigation CHEAP: AVIC F500BT

[Eric]

Luke,

So does this thing need an antenna to use the navigation?

I run this program on my Nokia E65 to time my laps at the ring.

the GPS reciever i have though is crap, do you think this pioneer unit might work for me?

too bad it can't record video either, i need to figure out a stealth way to record my laps :)

Sweet work Luke! I can't wait to see pics. Maybe I'll put of these in the 'vert, I've always wanted nav in that thing.

Hooray! 2 days of correct operation, except for one bluetooth fuckup, which I think was my fault from pairing with yet another deck.

Nav still takes at least 5 minutes to get antenna signal though.

Gonna drop $20ish on a new antenna with the correct connector, see if that helps.

Still no pics? WTF?

He's being mysterious...my bet is he waits until the picnic. I think he did what I've been thinking about doing for a little bit now.

Nothing to take pics of really, just a dumb ass Pioneer nav shoved into the front cubby, held in by metal straps and doublestick tape.

I fixed my damn antenna, now it freeking ROCKS nav...but I broke the microphone for the bluetooth!

Fark!
