Here's what Pioneer's Facebook team had to say about them providing their own, official, XM channel logo updates themselves...disappointing:

"Channel line-up changes are at the discretion of Sirius-XM. In order to ensure that our GEX-P920XM is backwards compatible with practically any Pioneer "P-bus" radio, our products feature channel artwork that is stored in local memory (as opposed to being received via the same satellite data connection as the audio and text). As a result, although you should be receiving the new channel related text, the artwork for any revised channels is the default universal channel icon.

In the past, we have been able to update channel icon artwork in conjunction with a map software upgrade, however we have not been able to confirm with engineering at this time if it will be possible to include in the 2011 map upgrade (coming this summer) due to the late timing of the channel line-up changes from Sirius-XM.

Please stay tuned for more news regarding the 2011 map software upgrade! Thanks.

When you visit the Pioneer reps at CES, will you PLEASE (for god's sake) tell them to come out with a new traffic solution for existing X- and Z-Series units to replace the MSN Traffic services?!?! A new XM NavTraffic-capable XM tuner and an HD Traffic-ready HD Radio tuner are BOTH must-have items and should've been out already from Pioneer if they intend to compete with Kenwood, Sony, etc. An FM-TDS capability would be nice as well.

Actually, Pioneer's map updates are typically delayed compared to their competitors and are significantly more expensive as well. Also, WHY do you want a hard drive based unit? WHY?!?! WHHHHYYYY?!?! Makes no sense. Bad.

Who's paying your way? Just curious...
