I'm having the same problem. Downloaded it 3 times now but at the end tells me it failed. Did you do anything different to get it to work??

Oh damn, I didn't even see that other thread, thx!

Is something wrong with the google link to the Z140 Files.rar file? I have tried to download it 3 times and each time it takes about an hour and looks as though it's downloading but when it's done it just gives me an error. Very frustrating.

This unit plays back music files in whatever PHYSICAL ORDER they are on the drive, USB or SD, etc. (I don't know about CD since I have never even put a CD in my unit) If you want the unit to play them in alphabetical order you have to physically put them in that order on your USB/SD etc. There is a small free program called DriveSort that works very well for this. Do a google search and I'm sure you'll find it, it's pretty easy to use and it works great.

This is the 2nd biggest annoyance of this unit for me, the first being entering a street name as a destination. Unless you're already looking at a map and know the EXACT SPELLING, forget it. My 2003 Acura Navi unit automatically grey's out invalid keypad options, but this high-end unit does not. That's pretty incredible. Overall in general you could say this unit is 'street-ignorant'.

Yeah I have an Android phone too and would love to see this in a future release.

Probably not. SD card/USB device playback of video is probably one of this units biggest drawbacks. Some people on here have dedicated dozens of hours on trying to figure out why one video file plays while the other does not. Honestly, unless you want to drive yourself crazy tinkering with some sort of video file converter program (like SUPER) for hours and hours your best bet is to simply load it on your ipod and play it from there. Anything else and you are just asking for torture and disappointment.

I see even the new software doesn't grey out invalid keyboard entry options when entering a street name, city or address. Wonderful

If they don't come up with something or an alternative way to get live traffic updates for this HU in 2 years Pioneer will have forever killed their trust with me. $1,200 for a HU that's voluntarily and purposely obsolete in 2 years with little to no resale value. It's one thing for technology itself to make hi-end products obsolete, it's a totally different thing for the company that built a product to do it on purpose. Talk about killing brand loyalty! Who in their right mind would EVER risk purchasing another Pioneer deck again? Certainly not me.

If you're at all concerned with navi then I would definitely not get the Z110BT. The navi functionality and usefulness of this unit is a complete joke. Sure it's got a great screen and looks good, but what good is that if it gives you messed up directions or forces you to type in the exact spelling of any street name you input without eliminating the invalid options with the use of greyed out letters? Those shortcomings on top of your hatred of the nag screen completely rules out this unit for you, you would not be happy with it one bit so you should just move on. viewtopic.php?f=56&

Yes, the removal of the grayed out letters on street name input is another major disappointment. In fact the street I was going to was called De Bie St., but everybody calls it DEBIE St. As you can imagine it took me 5 min. to figure it out, I tried Debby, Deby, Debie, Debbie, Debiee, Debee, every way you could imagine to spell Debie. Finally I just put in De and then I was able to go to the list and found a De Bie St. Sure enough that was it! And after all of that the directions it gave me were ridiculous. It's almost like Pioneer is f'ing with us all with this deck. I don't mind so

Nice write-up. It seems the navi on this unit is sub-par at very best. Mine had me going the exact opposite direction on one of the streets I had to be on to get to my final destination. I think Pioneer really dropped the ball on the entire navi functionality of this unit. They can say it has VR and millions of POI's and 3d and all of that, but when you get down to it it's really a horrible navi deck.

Is anyone else experiencing bizarre navigation directions from their Z110BT?? I FINALLY got a chance to use the navigation function of this deck to go to a friends house up in Cerritos and the directions it gave me was nothing close to what my OEM Navi unit in my Acura TL gives. It had me going on side streets for over 5 miles instead of taking the freeway and even wanted me to get off on some exit that did not even exist when I was on the freeway. What's worse, on the way home just for the hell of it I tried the "return home" option to see how that worked. It literally had me going in the

There is indeed a "reset to factory settings" option with these. Maybe try that??

I had Beach Autosound install mine and they did a perfect job. The guy there didn't have any problem doing the bypass for it either (so long as you move the pin one over yourself, although I'm sure he wouldn't have minded doing it for you). They're off of Beach and Talbert in Huntington Beach. Total charge was $120. A more modern car might have been cheaper, mine is a 1995 model year car so they had to run the antenna up above the gauge cluster to get good reception and custom fabricate a mounting plate since the kit didn't come with one.
