Title: AVIC F9110BT What we have all been waiting for
Post by: gadget on May 03, 2009, 08:54:56 am: Hi Guy's

Being a Pioneer seller (Home Audio not ICE) my rep sent me this link

http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/content/press/news/avic-f9110bt_vw_seat_skoda.html?utm_source=pgbrss&utm_m%20%20edium=social&utm_campaign=rssmbg (http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/content/press/news/avic-f9110bt_vw_seat_skoda.html?utm_source=pgbrss&utm_m%20%20edium=social&utm_campaign=rssmbg)

So it is going to be an option on new but will be available as a seperate item also.

I wonder what I can get one for if cheap enough I will have a nearly new AVIC-900BT going :signLOL:

I don't like having the double din adapter plate in mine so would put up with all the plastic I think as it will still look more genuine.

Its the straight swap idea I like

Post by: BeezerDiesel on May 03, 2009, 10:59:05 am: I quite like the look/idea of that, any idea of likely Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£?

It'd surely have to be cheaper than an RNS510, or would it?

Post by: Alexander on May 03, 2009, 05:59:28 pm: would go for one of these over the RNS anyday the sound quality will be miles better and much easier to expand due to having pre-outs.

Post by: SteveP on May 03, 2009, 07:48:18 pm: The principal looks great but like 182_blue says it has alot of plastic around it and the screen seams an odd size at 5.8" :confused:

If it's based on the F900 (IIRC) then expect some slow startup times as well.

So for me RNS-510 with the Blaupunkt THA555 Amp and a good Sub FTW :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

Post by: Alexander on May 03, 2009, 08:42:18 pm: I considered the blaupunkt amp but doesnt make sense to me amplifying a DSP processed signal with poor mid response.depends what kind of sound your after I guess.

Post by: VC on May 08, 2009, 07:26:17 pm: plastic can be painted :evilgrin:

surprised they didnt sort out the boot up times though :confused: my 900 takes 30 seconds to get going :surprised:

Post by: sandwich on May 19, 2009, 08:37:12 am: FYI I heard the cost will be around 700 euros for this kit when it's released in July.

Post by: BeezerDiesel on June 20, 2009, 02:21:10 pm: Can't be too far off being released now, so has anyone heard anything concrete about the price of these units?

Post by: Hurdy on June 20, 2009, 10:25:56 pm: Having that button at the side makes it a smaller touchscreen. 5.6inch as opposed to 7". There's a lot to be said for an extra inch or so!!! (ooo err missis! :rolleye:)

Post by: BeezerDiesel on June 21, 2009, 11:26:03 am: I think it'd be okay for me as I'm used to a Garmin i3 which has a tiny screen!!

The F9110BT looks good to me but if it's not going to be much cheaper than an ebay RNS510 I don't think there will be a huge market for it. I get the impression from the advertising blurb that it will be a dealer option too, although probably not in the UK(?)
