Hey dainedazz,

I noticed you got the Kenwood instead of the Pioneer and you haven't complained about boot up time or steering wheel delays. So, what is your boot up time like? For example, how long does it take for your reverse camera to pop up on the screen from a cold start?

Also, what kind of delays are you getting with the PAC controller to use your steering controls, if you got one. It seems that it's a common complaint that there is an annoying delay no matter which PAC/HU combo you use...

boot up time for the HU is like about 10secs for me. to be honest i havent really paid attention to the boot up time cuz it never bothered me. all i know is that it doesnt take long to boot up from cold start.

about the rear view cam, it automatically pops up on the screen like 1 sec after u throw it into reverse. or u can just hold the "NAV" button for more than 1sec and it goes on. from what i know, u need to wait for the HU to boot in order to use the cam. i havent really started my car and threw it to reverse right away.

i dont use the steering wheel controls. i never used it so i didnt get the PAC controller. i always liked the nob to turn up the volume.

A huge factor in bootup time is attached mass storage or iPods. The HU needs to index all the music during bootup. Most people complaining about bootup times have large music libraries (8G+). Do you have anything attached via USB yet?

oh ic. i only use a 4gig nano. it plays right away as soon as the hu boots up. and no i dont really use the usb. i just used it to enter a backround image.
