Pioneer AVIC-U310BT 4.3-Inch In-Dash Navigation Receiver with CD Player and Bluetooth Review

WOW this thing is so cool! I purchased about a week ago and got it tonight to hook into my honda accord 2001 coupe. I bought the PAC remote adapter along with the metra double din fitting mount and harness. First off its not to bad to hook up, the wiring harness really saves a lot of time. after running the GPS antenna and bluetooth mic through the dash and, the mic up the a pillar it was smooth sailing. everything hooked in. I took the parking break wire (light green) coming from the pioneer harness and just attached it right to the black (ground) of the metra harness, this permanently grounds the parking break thus making it able to enter addresses while moving. I updated the firmware which was simple enough and got my EQ settings sort of fixed up, although its a very confusing menu for. They definitely could have made the settings menus a little better for instance the balance/fader controls should have a graphic and a touch screen button but instead you are stuck using the control knob. Also with the control knob its very touchy and many times you push the wrong side on accident, even when trying to be accurate, its also very slippery so its hard to turn the volume up with one finger, instead you have to grip it with two which in the grand scheme of things isn't to bad. GPS is pretty good, not perfect, when you get to your destination its a little off but every gps is. my test calls indicated that the microphone worked very well even over a foot and a half away (stuck to the in the top left corner). Ipod controls are quite good, radio reception is better than the factory head unit. Again though they should have used graphics for the radio screen, my presets are just p1,p2,p3 ect... instead they should have made it so that it actually displayed the frequency so you could find your presets easier. The biggest gripe I have though is that when I plug my ipod in, it has a static sound, nothing that most songs don't drown out anyway but when a song is staring or ending, or in-between songs you can definitely hear it, and I'm jsut weird about static I hate it haha. mind you this is very very very minor static but it is noticeable. Another thing with the ipod is that it has paused a couple of times, and going into the function menu to un-pause it doesn't work you literally have to change the source and the come back to it for it to work again. Also setting the illumination color is a pain in the but, you would think pioneer would make it in the settings menu but you have to go into some weirdo menu to find it, look it up in the operator manual.
