I'm not sure the phone would actually die but I have noticed that app radio mode "drains" the battery. I actually think there is an issue where it actually isn't charging. This should be something that can be fixed with firmware or updates to the pioneer apps. I really think those apps are not built well and could use a little more work done to them.

I have a Z150 on the way so I read this whole thread and I'm still not totally sure I know what is going on. Is it move the mute wire and ground the parking brake? Which is the same as it is with my Z2? The best would be if I could just leave my harness and everything else from the Z2 in the car and just plug the 150 in, wishful thinking I guess but It'd be nice.

I'm looking at replacing my Z-2 and I am up in the air on whether I should wait to get the 150 or just go with the 140? From what I have read, the 140 uses all the same cables and accessories as the Z-2 (XM, Sirius) does it use the same harnesses? I It be nice if I could just leave all that stuff and replace just the unit itself. I know the 150 is new but what does it have over the 140 that makes me need to wait for it? I'm just not sure. I know it uses a new hybrid sirius tuner and from what I could read it sounds like all the other wiring is new too? Is that right?

your crutchfield might be mistaken. Possible factory installed car radio's could be that long but i doubt it.

part of the merger deal:

Federal regulators have ordered that within nine months, the combined company, Sirius XM Radio, must offer receivers capable of getting both XM and Sirius programming.

I have them both....XM for traffic, sirius for music.

 

How much is just for the traffic piece? I already have the Sirius subscription.

It would normally be 9.99 but my wife has XM in her car so as part of a family plan it is 3.99...plus get the music channels too it comes to 11 bucks if you want.

hopefully the next Z has MSN direct and some kind of crazy weather mapping service.

in the z series you can only do specific song....no artist(which is messe dup)

there is a mode button on the Z, if you hit that enough times it will show you station number and artist and song.

I assume the F might be rather similiar.

that great, I don't need them though, I bought the Z2 over other brands in part because in my VW the dash lights are that color blue (and red). .I should take a picture of it at night, with the red mood lights, I lvoe the interior with the Z2.

PS3 came a lot earlier in Japan before coming to the states.

can you have a custom splash screen?

can you have multiple backgrounds like the z3 and is there a way to hidethe av menu's like in the z3?

i had the same problem, my box was fried, had to get a new one.

I have a few questions:

1. Can it still do Sirius and XM together

2. Is it XM Navtraffic? and weather compatible?

3. I know it is smaller but does the screen feel smaller?

Is it possible to get that matrixy one for VW...or more specifically a VW Rabbit?

I have them both....XM for traffic, sirius for music.

I was going to this eventually, but currently, my splash looks pretty good even with the pioneer stuff everywhere.

i wanted to expand it...whats the biggest size you can make the music partition without causing problems?

I think you made a good choice.

The ipod adapter is on national backorder.

I am gonna download when I get home, I had two quick questions though:

1) was there any update to the Sirius interface?

2) when you have XM on and you hide, does it show anything besides the channel name?

I agree with floppy, your sirius box might have a ground problem that burns them up.

the 3-d buildings exsist on the current Z2 image. They are not a new feature of the Z3.

what just happened to me...no sound, no statis nothing...when i selected The Sirius Tuner...the whole sirius interface would lock up. I needed to replace the tuner it was bad

is there just no sound or does it seem that nothing is working at all?

took it in yesterday and got it fixed. There was an issue with the sirius Pioneer unit. replaced everything works now.

my iphone works great, but i found that you can't operate anything from the phone...I get nothing but static is the phone is not 'locked'

I have Xm and Sirius daisy chained to my Z2. This morning, i turned on my radio and the XM was fine. I switched over to Sirius and there was nothing coming through. When i switched back to XM, the sound is muted. I had to turn the car off and back on to get the XM sound back...tried again and it happened again.

Everything worked perfectly fine last night. any ideas?

Mine does the same thing. All the cables are connected but it just keeps saying updating. I called Xm and they told me they could see the system is in the updating status and to let it stay on the map screen for an hour..I let it sit for close to 2 with no luck.

Everything else on the unit works great.

 

Are you getting the traffic info on the screen? All the different colored dots for flow speeds, etc? If so, it's working. Mine says updating sometimes, but most of the time it just says "Traffic".

I am now. I got the unit installed this past friday. Called XM right away waitied about an hour with the car on in open space and got nothing. Let it go til monday. I called monday as I was leaving work, they said to give it an hour; i gave it 2. Then last night on my way home from work i called again. Lady said she was sending the signal...it went from updating to trffc and i had all my info there...like in seconds.

It works now. I have no idea what was going on...but it saved me time already this morning, I LOVE IT!
