I just got my AVIC-F90BT installed and bypassed (It was sitting at home since Wednesday hehe)! I just went around the block to try it out and it works great. I'll take some pics tomorrow since its past 2am right now.
Only complaint is that the screen is noticeably smaller (I went from the D1 to D3 to the F90). But IMO the functions overweight the smaller screen size.
If there are any questions about this HU, just let me know.

Is your F90 one of the ones with the new firmware? The first run firmware was pretty buggy from what I hear. Hows the bluetooth sound in the car? Can the other guy hear you pretty clearly?
Thanks

Sorry for not updating you guys... had some friends going through some problems lately and I haven't been driving the tC the past couple days since I'm rebuilding my brakes right now. But yea... Pics are crappy quality cause my camera broke last week. They're from my phone.
So far here are my thoughts of the HU:
Pros:
-New better looking menus
-Better looking maps
-Bluetooth quality not bad
Cons:
-Older Ipods do not work with the F-series
-MSN Direct doesn't work all the time
-Loads very long! (at first I thought it was OK, but it's starting to get annoying)
-I'm still trying to get the HU to play videos from the USB
I'm gonna get the HD radio add-on this week, so I'll let you guys know how that goes.
Here's what it looks like in my dash:

I don't like how the HU is not that wide, I can fit my hands into the side:

I get this from the MSN Direct alot:

New Menus:

And Ipod:

The door closes perfectly, with the holes I drilled for the D1/D3. Not sure about the stock holes tho.

Yep. It comes with the new firmware (1.0017000).
I didn't use the dash kit, since I didn't need it for the D1/D3. I have a pair of those universal pieces that mount on the bracket that should fill in the gap, but I haven't seen it in my house for years!
