Well, I talked to XM to make sure everything is working right, and I get all the channel data ie song titles and everything, but get NO audio on the 130 with the p10xmt I'm not sure if its my headunit that is the problem or the xm receiver itself...any suggestions? Has anyone actually tried the p10xmt with the 130 or did you guys just use it with the 120 assuming it will work on 130?

Id have to say it works GREAT here too...much better than my old avic which was almost not usable. Because of the problems I had before, I tested this thoroughly this weekend and my girlfriend couldn't tell if I was on my cell phone or bluetooth!s Great job Pioneer! Finally after what, 6 years?!

I installed my 130 this weekend and asked the same question! Annoying huh?

Thanks for the info. One other thing thought, I'm not getting any audio from the gex-p10xmt which I used before. Reports on here say it worked with the z110 and 120s. Do I need to order a new 920?

Hey guys, I just updated my z3 to the new z130, but am having trouble finding certain options in the menus (everything has been moved around). - how do I fix the map so it won't spin? (north always UP) - preset re-naming? Is there a way? (instead of just P1 etc) - custom menu on the left side (remove unused sources from left menu on audio screen) possible? - AHA radio only seems to be usable if controlled by the iphone...cant be controlled by the deck? (audio comes through though) - is there a way to view XM signal stregth?

thanks for the info and part numbers guys...Ill make a decision soon. What about making a wired remote? I saw a wiring diagram around somewhere that showed the resistance values for each feature but I can't seem to remember where I saw it, any ideas?

I know the wired remotes work via resistance, but does that mean many wired remotes will work with our units? All the sony ones should, but as far as I know there isnt any with a voice control button...maybe you could open up one of the remotes and change a resistor to map the feature to a specific button?

I should also add that the Z-series has an IR sensor on them...so you can use all kinds of remotes such as the steering wheel remote or even another one for the back seat to control movies. The new units (don't ask me why - and correct me if I'm wrong) doesn't even come with IR built in forcing you to buy more stuff for something that should be built in! So take that into consideration too if you will want remotes

Well folks, after much much research I had a lot of problems trying to find a microphone/equipment that has its own active (rather than passive) noise cancellation. I finally came across a product that comes with many adapters including one for the avic. Now I haven't received mine yet, but I think Ill give it a try. First off, its a product of theboom.com, well known for their phone headsets with noise cancellation that actually supposed to work. They have released a product (claiming the mics are used in Apache helicopters...suuuure)and its called the Ume Cobra mic. This, poten

anyone know if there is a remote, wired or wireless that works with the new unit? My car doesnt have built in controls on the steering wheel and I'd like to come up with something...even aftermarket would be fine. Suggestions?

I'm not sure why you would say such a thing...the Z3 units are amazing...I have one in one of my cars right now and it has features that none of the new ones have... The Z series can rip a CD right to the harddrive for custom libraries and playback later without the CDs. Of course, if you don't use CDs anymore then that may not be a feature you would want. Movie playback is great on them as well. Granted, I am purchasing a z130 for another car but I wouldn't pass up some of the great deals out there on the Z series!

make sure to keep us posted

Well said! Exactly what I was thinking I wonder if some sort of capacitor would do the trick? I guess it depends how long you are cranking the car as well...

You answered everything perfectly. Thanks for the info

my z3 has a harddrive and it rips CDs to the internal drive and stores them as a library...so no ipod needed...although I do have an iphone its great feature for people that still buy CDs So yes, hard drive units do have benefits!

anyone know if the z130 suffers from the same problems or was it addressed?

What problem were you having and what were you trying to fix exactly? Were you on accessory power and then started the truck...it reboots? Or is it rebooting when you turn your truck off and leave the key in the accessory position? Or both? I'm just trying to get a better feel for what you were trying to accomplish...and if it's the same for every car, because my car stock doesn't shut the radio off when I turn my car off, making this a pointless mod for me (and maybe others out there)

Hey Guys, Im looking to pick up a z130 in the next few days as an upgrade to my avic-z3. I have lots of stuff for my Z3, including the XM unit, bluetooth addon, and 2 different remotes (one that straps onto the steering wheel etc). Does anyone know if the remotes will work with the new unit? Also...how is the echo canceling on the new units vs the old avics? So far, I havent been too impressed with the bluetooth calling...

I'm one of the unlucky people that havent been able to send my contacts over to the z3 since I have an iphone. I have upgraded the maps and have my hdd unlocked, im just wondering if there is a way I can drop some VCF files onto the user directory of the harddrive and add my massive list of contacts that way? Is anyone familiar with the format of the address book in the z3 and if this would be possible?

Is there a reason why you are looking for the 80MT? The 90 is out...

to the people that are saying that it's not being seeded enough and speeds are slow, I just wanted to note that I was able to download the complete torrent in less than 50 minutes. Average speed was 2200+KB/sec....so there are definately some good seeders out there. Perhaps you guys are being throttled by your ISP? I own an unmanaged dedicated server and I was able to get some pretty good speeds. Thanks for seeding guys!

Hey guys, Can anyone tell me which states are covered on the 80MT west discs vs the east discs? Thanks!

like most blackberries it works fine. check the list in the first post or use the search function On a side note, not sure if anyone is keeping the first post up to date, but I cannot believe the iphone isn't listed on there! So here it is for you iphone users: iPhone 3GS works perfect for phone and calling. Address book transfer is not possible because apple didn't include the proper bluetooth profiles on the iphone So have fun entering the addresses one at a time! lol

Anyone know if this is possible? My iphone doesn't support it, and I really have a lot of new numbers to transfer into my Avic. I'm basically trying to find an alternate method of getting my addresses on there. I suppose I could use an old bluetooth telephone, but that means syncing back and forth with my pc->iphone->outlook->avic and that is a lot of steps. It would be great if I could just sync my phone with my laptop, and then beam those directly over. Anyone know what files the Avic is accepting? Are they vcards? I'm curious. Thanks so much guys!
