... Just the ones last month that in itself almost got me shot. Just added another grand on head unit and halos and really want to put dual exhaust but she is fighting me on that. So maybe just the shark fin antenna I wish you were down here I would scrap the shark fin and have you help me install a headlinner. Maybe some day I'll grow a pair and try and do it myself.

If you spend any more money on that car this month, you'll have to grow another pair because you're about to lose the ones you have.

Hope you don't have the ridiculous restarting/rebooting problem like I have with my F90BT, it's just insanely annoying, and there appears to be no fix besides resetting the unit and deleting some temp files using a hacked SD card that will get regenerated when you reset it... ridiculous...

the thing about the f90bt is that companies are countering the numerous bugs and flaws of the unit with big discounts, often seeing the unit sell from 500-699 with factory warranty. This is a very attractive pricepoint considering its lists of features.

Yeah I read all that and it seems like some have the problems and some don't. So far evrything is working great and boot up isn't bad at all maybe 5 sec I get my music and 20 for the nav which is quicker then my old nav unit. I start my car and by time I put my seatbealt on I have music and by time I'm out of my driveway I have nav that works for me. As long as I don't start having issues later I'm happy.

Yep I paid $529. at Cartoys.com I couldn't find anything out there that even came close to the having the features this has for under $1200 to $1400. Also the F90bt has a 2 year warranty not a 1 year like the F900 and F700. Also has Hi-Volt Pre-Outs 4.0V much cleaner sound over 2.0V pre-outs like most units.I guess time will tell if I did the right thing. So far I'm a happy camper.

Yeah, mine was great for quite some time then it just started to do this, every week or so I have to re-delete those files and reset the HU and re-input all of my settings or it'll just reboot when I plug the ipod in, and after so many songs the HU just restarts, no specific set of songs, it just does it, I should probably try and warranty the thing, but I've heard some bad stuff about people just getting it over and over again with the next units, and even used and refurb units.

The issue with the F90 is that it's an app on top of Windows CE and not it's own proprietary software like the D3, my D3 was perfect..

I hope that don't happen because so far I'm loving this head unit.
