This is a great product on paper, but think twice before you become an early adopter. The unit is plague with bugs. Some are so bad it make the unit unusable. Here are a few examples:

Bluetooth

1. Blackberry connects 50 percent of the time
2. Won’t transfer address book
3. Sound quality is terrible.
4. The audio didn’t mute when a call was placed

Sirius

1. Unable to get audio to work.

ipod

1. Continuous lock up with communication to iPod

GPS

1. Routing is not consistent
2. Several times it lost the location I was traveling to while switching between the FM tuner and ipod.
3. GPS voice guidance will say turn left in 2 comma 3 miles, instead of 2 point 3 miles.

Backup Camera

1. Take 1 – 2 min before the camera turns on when you put the car in reverse

General Usage

1. Boot time with an ipod connect is 2 – 3min
2. Boot time with no ipod is 10-15 second before audio is working
3. Unit has rebooted four times in the past two days for no reason
4. Touch screen is dim, you can’t see the readout in sunlight
5. Touch screen response is about 2 – 3 sec. between switching screens

These are just several initial observations. The unit will eventuality be a fantastic device once Pioneer fixes all the bugs. For now I would wait.
