Yes

So is this Ok to do after doing the cracked version of the software upgrade from z110 to z120 ?

My XM reception is slightly better that my Sirius. Sirius seems to work better in less populated areas, XM works better in cities

Click on the "UPDATES" tab and there is one listed

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... VIC-Z110BT

Please help me out. I'm new to the forum, so forgive my ignorance. I hear everyone talking about firmware updates to the avic-z110bt, but I don't see anything for it on the pioneer website. All the firmware updates seem to be for other units. Please explain.

No

So I see 2 vettes, a silverado, and a 350 in this thread. What brand harness are you guys all using? Factory bose systems?

Not sure its worth the effort to have a switch, but it you want to do it, you don't need a relay. Just go to Radio Shack or something and buy a cheapo toggle switch and run the parking brake wire to it

My sirius does that like once a year or so. I pull out the P-bus cables and the power plug for a few seconds, plug them back in, and its good to go again

The bypass is different. Detailed instructions are stickied at the top of the page. You will need to buy the CDIU50V ipod cable...it does support video

1. You will need the CDIU50V to control an ipod from the screen. If your ipod really is ancient, it likely will not work with it, but you may as well install it now to save time/money on labor to install it later when you get a new one. You can still use your current ipod the way you are now...through the audio-in jack

2. Best to call and find out

3. It will handle your HD and non-HD radio. The interface isn't that great though. Not sure it is worth it unless you live in an area with lots of HD Radio stations

4. It will cost you $100+ for the tuner itself and it will become garbage when they turn the system off. Up to you if you want traffic, movie times, weather, etc for that price

Do you know where the sirius tuner is installed? If you do, unplug the power and the P-bus cables at the tuner for a few seconds and then reconnect them. Had to do it myself once. If that doesn't work, try all the other stuff the previous poster listed

The AVIC-220U is a different model. Its an add-on navigation for people that bought screens without nav built-in. Don't think it'll work for the Z110

My update just arrived, and I am creating backup copies of both SD cards. After I created my install password, I got this on the pioneer password create page:

 

AVIC-220U Points of Interest Download Information

Step 1

Download the "Optional POI data for 2010" file by clicking here (http://www.winzip.com (purchase may be required).

 

Step 2

Open the file and copy the "NDB" folder and "CARDINFO.CRF" file onto the root of the SD Card.

 

*Note: Ensure this file is located on the top layer of the SD Card.

Make sure that the SD Card follows these requirements: - Greater then 512MB.

 

 

I have not seen anyone mention this additional update... Just FYI. Maybe you can update the POI without the map update??

Thats what they told me about 6 months ago

Rumor has it this should be fixed in a few months...

Pioneer can't give away the upgrade because they don't get the maps for free. They buy them from TeleAtlas (TomTom.) If they have to pay for the maps, so do we, thats how it always has and always will be. The new GUI is just a bonus

It won't work. Buy a mic

The Z110 has been out for like a year, which means it was designed 12-18 months before that. Hard to expect it to work with something that was top secret until a few months ago and doesn't mount in a car easily or fit in a glove box. Hacks will come I am sure, but not until more people that give a crap can afford an ipad

Are you sure it is looking for POI in the correct state? It doesn't automatically switch to where you are located

No, its the same very good one that is found in all Pioneer radios

Is the tuner in this radio inferior?

 

Thanks,

Hold down the HOME button for two seconds and the screen will go completely off

The bypass is different anyway so you're going to have a little work to do. And don't forget the mic for the VR and bluetooth

The GPS antenna is different. You can either run a whole new one or just swap the plastic connector on the end

Agree with above. Sounds like installer error

Yes you will. The manual for the 920/120 are linked on the forum from a few months ago and both feature the Pandorda capability

Murph, where did you here about the Pandora plugin app?? I just purchased the Z110 as well but haven't installed it yet and one of my wish list items for it was the Pandora plugin. Do you know if you have to puchase the Z120 upgrade to get it?

Whining on an internet forum not owned by Pioneer is not going to fix your problem. Contact Pioneer and TeleAtlas

I don't care what town I am in, as long as it gets me to the destination that I entered, and it does

The update will not be free. Just like Microsoft didn't give you Vista to replace 98

Is it possible the cell mute wire could be loose back there?

Its set by the satellites. Are you getting good GPS reception?
