Hey Folks, I got my hands on a copy of the operation manual for the new HD Radio tuner (GEX-P10HD). Attached is a pdf of it. I'm going to order one for my AVIC-Z2. [/img] 130GEXP10H.pdf

I talked today to Pioneer Customer Service. They told me that it would only display 8 characters (confirms earlier message) and that you wouldn't be able to use the presets. This is all they know at this time. Apparently they haven't received a GEX-P10HD unit yet to try out. I should have told them to order one from Ebay (I've seen a couple for sale there).

It would seem to me that Pioneer could release a new firmware update that would "fix" these limitations. I would think that everything could be fixed with a software change.

It would be nice to know what the limited control & display capabilities are. I have a AVIC-Z2 and I would love to have the HD Radio capability. It would seem to me that you would at the very least need to know what station you are set to and be able to change stations. The "External Control" section of my Z2 user manual is not very descriptive. I wish Pioneer would post the owner's manual for the GEX-P10HD on their website. I bought the top of the line Z2 partly because I thought that it would be adaptable to accomodate future accessories either directly or through a firmware u

I don't know why no one seems to make a digital TV tuner for mobile applications yet. You would think that they would have a great market with analog signals ending a year from now. Everyone who currently has a TV tuner will need to get a new one.

I am glad to hear that Pioneer is coming out with an HD tuner. I wonder what limited functionality means? Any news on a digital TV tuner?

I've inquired about an HD Radio Tuner directly to Pioneer. Their response was that they don't have any plans to introduce one. I really wish they would. I've got a JVC HD Radion in my boat and the sound quality is amazing! I also wish that Pioneer would introduce an HDTV Tuner for the Z1/Z2.
