Hello,


I have been having so many problems with my avic...I have had to get it replaced for another avic or something else. Right now, it's on the way back to the retailer...but I'm thinking of getting rid of the AVIC and getting an ANV-5510, I don't know if I should do it....Here are my list of problems with the avic

1. Boot time sucks
2. VR mode doesn't work
3. screen freezes
4. iphone voice command doesn't work


Why I iike the avic

1. Maps and interface are visually kick ___
2. Video ipod playback
3. Love the LED match my car ( not a big deal but a plus)
4. Bluetooth control with contacts and dial pad



Ok...so now you know my problems with the avic....The reason I'm thinking the eclipse is

1. Solid built unit
2. Steer wheels controls
3. Ipod and maps work like champ...The unit doesn't freeze
4. Only cost me $7 for a unit that works...its old but it works.
5. Better SQ
6 Bigger Screen 7inches vs. 5.8inches

Now the reason why I don't like AVN is

1. Maps are old school
2. interface is old school
3. No iphone charging.. just playing (not a big concern. I'll get a ipod car cable)
4. its the AVN5510 its outdate model...but the maps are the same as the new avn6220...

So what you think?

 

Go with the Eclipse.

 

I thought the AVIC-F90BT was suppose to be the best for that price.

 

^^The prices on the avic is super cheap, but they have had some problems with the units...

 

*BUMP* I want to hear more about this, im actually trying to get the Avic byself but if there ARE problems with it then maybe not...plus I hate the fact that its such a small screen

 

The small screen isnt that bad! Its the problem, which suck!

 

I'm gonna go with the F90, I'm sure they will come out with another update to fix the boot times

 

In fact, there is an update coming....very soon like sometime this week....

 

Yeah,

stick with the F90, for someone like me that has all of there music and movies on their iPod, and understand the superiority of flash memory based maps vs dvd based, The F90 is the hands down winnar

 

I have video and music on the ipod too...but I'm thinking of going alpine...but I'm going to test the update 1st!

 

I emailed them about the update, what do you know about it?

 

It's a long story....but I'm on avic411.com, which has tons of good info.

I know AVIC411, I don't go there nearly as much as possible, or as I used to

 

well today...I got my new avic-f90bt and it was great...All the features are working even voice command...I hope with new update things will only get better.

 

Pictures?

 

I have the F90BT installed onto my xB. Other than the slow bootup, everything else works pretty well.
