Hi, I recently had a audio shop install a Pioneer AVIC-N1, GPS system with a 6.5" motorized touch-screen. I really do love it, I also have the voice recognition installed, neatly. My question is simply does anyone else have this unit? I continuously get fed up with it because it will give me crazy directions when it has all the roads. Some times it wants me to do stupid things. Like if i am just going straight, it will say take 4 rights, then get back onto the same damn road, last time i checked 4 rights is a circle! And its all neatly presented on its beautiful screen.
And any reocommendations about speaker selection? Not alot of bass but I also want to compliment the system with qualitiy speakers.
CONS: It will take me to the freeway, even when I tell it not to, and the "fastest" route, is not the most direct or, fast. If you are going to ask me to read the damn manual, I have, cover to cover many, many times. I even carry it around with me now, because it sucks, it is terribly vague. I have contacted Pioneer directly on at least 3 occations because I was clueles about how to use simple commands. It also has 1.0 v. software, wich aparently will be updadted sometime, somehow, after it was registerd.
But for those who are wondering what the system is like in the contour svt, its LOUD, and CLEAR, never thought I would say it, but those junk speakers sound really good, even with some bass. Aparently the man at the audio store told me it's very likely I will be back to buy brand new speakers after I blow the stock ones. The system is pumping out 50W x 4, dont ask me what the origonal ones are capable of. I love it, fits great.
List price - 2200 -no instalation or options
I bought it brand new off ebay, with the optional voice recognition, had it all professionally installed for about 1900 for everything, just for those who would like to get one.
