thanks

I was recommended to buy a camera from Boyo, VT-series. I go to ebay and what I see is plenty of diffeent models: VT110, VT300, VT375, 4xx-something and etc... All of these have identical visual appearance: a license plate frame with a camera built-in on top of the frame, all share similar cost price.

What do these model numbers mean difference-wise?

I really want this upgrade strictly for the updated map. I haven't had any problems with the nav for my 110, but lately it's been leading me to vacant lots, dead ends and locations that are at least a mile away from my destination. I tried to take a friend to the range rover dealer last weekend and were close, but still about a mile or 2 away. He then proceeded to whip out his droid and embarass me lol.

 

What I want to know is how does his smatphone gps show up my 110? I have msn direct, so shouldn't I always be able to update my maps with ease? Tom Tom barely charges you $60 for the year to upgrade your maps and garmin charges you $119. They really should have had a seperate strictly maps upgrade that I'm sure would cost way less. "I" simply don't need all that other stuff.

I have the same problem. may somebody please expand on this?

the nav often takes you to different location than specified, although the streets and present position is displayed correctly. This seems to be a problem with all BT series navs: I had this problem with U310, had the unit replaced with a new one, the new one had the same problem. Now I have 110BT and it has the same problem still.

Prior to that I had a Z3, the Z3 used to be as precise as the space rocket programmed to land on Mars.

If this is not addressed in the present upgrade, some one must bring this out to Pioneer (I did but what could one do...)

Like he said, it is indeed really embarrassing having people in your car witnessing this happening and having a laugh at it.

thanks a lot for posting !

thanks (first of all) for the new thread you posted about 110 and 120BT, that is good news.

ok yesterday I had 110BT intalled, I have a problem: upon start, a message appears notifying of "possible wrong brake led connection" or something of this nature, asking to "ok" it. I'm certain the brake cable is plugged into the right socket. I do have a switch though that lets me avoid using parking brakes. Anyway, to make it easy, is there a way to disable this drek? some by-pass or I don't know... advise please.

One awesome thing about U310BT was (probably due to its simplicity) it never gave me any messages upon starting the car.

"SMITH & WESSON" - lol

ok, one more question: I see some mentions of Z120BT, I tried to google it but could not find the answer probably because it is too early to even ask, but nevertheless: will it be made possible to upgrade 110BT to 120BT? (as with Z1->Z2->Z3)

thanks, damn it, I noticed this in all areas of the industry, for every three small advances - 1 major one is being taken off.

Well I allowed myself to exaggerate but nevertheless I'm too a bit disappointed.

I ordered it today, have been previously using Z3 (had it stolen twice, damn makakas spread like kakaroaches all over the country), then installed U310BT which I am now replacing for 110BT now that I park in 24hr-surveillanced parking.

U310 has a lot of shortcomings (most annoynig one is that it is showing you before the intersection, whilst you have already gone passed it), but then I am seeing many new pleasant advances that were not there in Z3, so I believe the B110 will be very satisfactory.

PS

the nav manufacturers must develop a feature that would allow the manufacturer to track the location of the unit upon request from the owner possessing serial number.

'morning people.

guys, what map views does this have? Never I was able to find any sample pics showing various map views. I figured it has 2D and 3D, but does it have a double display option as there was with avic Z3 ??

see pic below please:

Also, is it possible to have a map/nav displayed on one side (one half) of the screen, and ipod/CD display on the other?

Regards,

Alex

ok I figured that.

Last question: where can you buy the additional POI data for less?

used, referbished, whatever...

somebody selling may be...

thanks, will try.

Pity you can't browse the CD like with other pioneer units.

>Not sure why you'd want to anyhow

to match the colors of interior. The green available in U sellection menu is too light. I know there are 2 shades of green, both are too light.

It is indeed mentioned in the manual (just a brief notice stating it may be imported), no details hovewer.

I see you must be lucky in that you're having a garage )))

you can't have these units last any long if you park on the street.

but how do you import colors other then the default 10?

and how do you import start-up background pictures?

can you change the illumination color on U310BT or not?

I've read in one extensive review that the key color cycles and can not be set fixed - so claims the guy reviewing the unit.
