Pioneer asked for a hugh amount of money to replace the screen and so I simply brought another one, this time Mellegan Meastro 4350. The Mellegan 4350 is much better than Pioneer AVIC-S2 and is easier to use. The map from Navteq is more accurate than Tel-Atlas and the routing makes more sense. It plays video and mp3 and even has a built-in FM Transmitter to play music through the Car Stereo system. It also has blue tooth. Moreover, unlike Pioneer, it can play mp3 as it navigates. So, good bye Pioneer. Sorry, my AVIC-S2 was broken last month because it fell from the windshield onto the floor, damaging the display.

Well can you do me a favor and give me a step by step version on how to start to navigate this GPS! For Instance: Like this! First you press the ????? to be the start ( Like Home ) Then you press the ??????? to be the Arrival (Place you want to be) if you can do that I would be so Happy! Because this has been driving me nuts for a long time. So if you have the time please type me out a diagram so I could get started..... Thank you so much! John.

This broke the display of the Pioneer AVIC-S2. A call to Pioneer service department showed that they will be charing a fortune to repair the screen and they suggest buying a new one. So, I hopped off to Bestbuy and get a new one, this time, a Magellan Maestro 4350 which has similar features to AVIC-S2, with blue tooth and media playing capabilities. In addition, I can even watch video files on it, say, while waiting in a parking lot for my wife. The new Magellan has a better routing program and Navteg map which is more accurate than the TeleAtlas map used by Pioneer (for Ottawa area) and can be updated more often. And the cradle holds very firmly to the Windshield mount compared to the Ritcher cradle used by Pioneer which can be easily fell off. So, good bye Pioneer.
