d-_-b Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Just wondering, did they check the online page against the printout when they did the price match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Cheap in the states, i wonder if possible to upload uk maps. Probably, although it may require a hack. I think you might also have issues regarding the radio frequencies.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still the cheapest but it's another £65 more than the offer price (and they're offering the iPod Touch deal too). SatNav on the move is not advisable - best to set your bits up before you set off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thought they prob would. Dammit lol. Well done on your keen eyes there and good idea going into the store! Got yourself a good bargain there, very nice piece of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll soon hike the price back up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, just done the same thing with buying tyres for the Supe and my lad's Almera - it is definitely a buyer's market at the moment.

R Black Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi Ellis, did you update the firmware on your Pioneer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 It's got the latest firmware on now but for the maps etc, you need an upgrade from Pioneer - and they charge over £100 for that so I'm told! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Got mine from ebay used, so i was just looking into updating everything, start up is not that slow so maybe its been partially done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) Not a bad piece of kit however I decided not to go for one for the following reasons: - No detachable faceplate (only Kenwood and JVC seem to do those). - wasnt sure about iphone 4 compatibility. and read loads of complaints about the F series here: http://avic411.com/ other than that, a great price for a decent spec unit. imi Edited November 10, 2010 by imi (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
