"Piece of junk. Do not waste your money!!"

by Yolasco on September 12, 2007

Pros: None woth the money

Cons: Hard drive crashes on hot days.Poor Navigation software.
Summary: The main issue I have with this unit is that it quits working, crashes or frezzes on hot days. I mean: if tyhe iside of the car is hot due to parking in a hot day, the hard drive goes crazy and either frezzes, crashes, fails to boot, partially boots without screen and/or sound. It seems that some hard drives are defective but Pioneer does not want to admit to this. I am not the only person with this problem, chech avic411.com. The Atlas navagation is poor quality and poor performance when compared to Garmin and Tom-Tom and believe I know what i am talking about since I own a Garmin Nuvi660. It does not play MP3 DVD's and does not record MP3 music to its hard drive. Paired cell phones can not be deleted but replaced. Unless you hacked, you will need to stop to input data to the GPS and you can not watch DVD's while driving unless it is hacked. I agree with the not watching DVD's while driving. What bothers me is the part about the GPS, they did not figure that you moght be driving with somebody else. The unit has too many bugs for the price and PIONEER custumer service and tech support sure are bad, rude and a bunch of @#!##$%%^^^^&$##@.

I had the same issue with this navi system, however, Pioneer has released a fix for this problem on their website. I suggest you update it (as it is free).
