AVIC-F700BT questions

I'm close to throwing down for the AVIC-F700BT. Can anyone chime in on the sound quality of BT phone sound quality?

Thanks

If no one responds to you here, you might want to check out the AVIC forums.

The bt sound quality on mine is horrible... a lot of it depends on the phone that it's working with. It doesn't get along well with blackberries.

I have a F90BT and the bluetooth is excellent. Microphone placement is also pretty important. Mine is on my visor.

Yes, I'll be getting the steering wheel control as well. They say it takes two adapters to make everything function.

I'd love to know if anyone has installed the steering wheel function and are you able to scroll through ipod menus? Or other things it might or might not control.

thanks for the photos!

I did not buy the steering wheel control adapters, but I know someone on the forum did it and check the AVIC thread and it's also on Youtube.

Double-Din kit

[quote=yeuchau;3403762]


Where did you get the parts for the double-din opening. I have a 2003 C320, intalled the F700bt, but the bezel right around the radio didn't fit properly. Seems to be a little too thick. Please let me know.

Kit

Thx for the reply. I used ADT-VA133 from installer.com. http://www.installer.com/item/display_item.php?it=adt-va133.

It doesn't go in all the way so it is elevated from the dash about half an inch. Looks like I need a bezel around the radio that is a bit thinner, primarily on top and bottem.
