I was going 17 first but went 19 instead. It was very hard to get balanced. I think you be fine with 17". The NF120 will take some time to drop. My coils still have not settled 100%. Post some pictures when you have them.

My NF210's have not "settled" a single bit at any corner since I first measured them 100 miles after the install and alignment. I now have over 34k miles since the install, and the wheel arches are still at the same heights that I listed in the original post of the Official NF210 thread.

Hey, I love your car!
Yes, the radio does take awhile to boot, but I seem to be getting used to that. MSN seems to be OK, does not seem to drop out, but I have a real issue with the Bluetooth part of the radio. The unit will accept voice commands, but can't find any of my contacts by name. Most times, I can manually call the contact by going into the contacts area and just select them manually, but that doesn't always work either. If I call out from my phone itself, all works fine.

My bluetooth is working just fine. I have a Blackberry Curve. I have problems with the MSN thing. I also just installed the HD radio option, very nice option. Of course it has bugs, you do not see the preset stations but they are there and work. The quality is so much better with the HD. I found it on Amazon for $55 shipped.

I was thinking about going HD too. Did you happen to look into the difference between the GEX-P10HD and the newer GEX-P20HD version?

My MSN was working quirky until I unhooked the battery when trying to bypass the F900BT. Notice I say TRYING because I still haven't managed to do it correctly. Once I unhooked the battery the MSN has been working fine. The movies section hasn't worked but everything else does.

Thats a good call on the HD radio. Is it really that much better? How about for AM stations as I mostly listen to sports radio? I think XM/Sirius is a better option for me. Anyone have any experience with them?

Oh yeah, got my front windows tinted yesterday to match the rear tint. Ballin! Wheels are coming next week. I'll post pics when the wheels are installed.

Try saying your contacts in reverse order. Mine works better that way. I say "call smith john mobile" that seems to work much better.

Also has anyone gotten bluetooth streaming from a phone to work? I'd love to a2dp stream some songs but can't figure it out

I would love to know if anyone got that to work as well. I believe my Bberry Storm is capable of doing it.

odd, did you 'transfer your contacts' from your phone via the phone menu?

Yes, I did transfer the contacts from my phone and I can use the contacts on the screen to dial out manually. When I try to use the voice commands, it does understand that I want to make a call, it just doesn't seem to hear or recognize the name I want it to dial. It keeps asking me to say the name.

I'm guessing it's your NY accent.

I had to adjust the direction the microphone was pointing as well.

Does it work for you to 'change source to FM radio' or 'play artist the pixies' or any of the other commands?

Yes, everything else seems to work fine. It even knows that I said I want to make a call, it just doesn't understand any contacts, like it somehow isn't connected to the contact list.

Congrats on your new addiction and welcome to the life. I have a 08 BCM that I installed a AVIC F90bt in. I have the same problems with the voice commands for calls but I think it's more a phone issue then head unit. It will call if I tell it to call and say the number Voice commands for i-pod work great. As far as the boot time just keep in mind that it's more like a computer then just a stereo head unit with all the features it has so I deal with it and it boots faster then my PC....lol. I found a good place for info if you want to by-pass parking brake for DVD or hack software ect. Try avic411.com fourm and check out the F series sec. Lot of good info there.

I finally got the bluetooth to fully work. I had to install a different bluetooth version for my Samsung phone to work. Thanks for all the help.
