  1. I had a Z130 and I was having a lot of problems. The BT was horrible, navigation was weird (would make me get off a freeway then get back on) so I got rid of it. Who makes a better unit? Kenwood? Alpine? Eclipse? Gotta have BT, gotta have good nav. Any suggestions?
  2. OK so purchasing a new MIC will not solve the crappy quality issue?
  3. I installed my Z120 a few months ago. Didn't have any problems at all with the BT, it worked perfectly. Recently it turned into junk (same phone, nothing different). I disconnected the phone, waited a day or so and paired it up again and it still stinks. I can only hear every 3rd or 4th word and my callers tell me I sound like I am far away. Will a new mic solve this problem? I am considering selling the radio because of this issue. I will gladly pay more money for something that doesn't look as cool but functions 100% of the time.
  4. VB, the cable in the link only has two rings. Where can I get the 4 ring cable, is it a Pioneer only thing? Also, I am getting audio but I need to use both the 30pin AND the headphone jack. If I buy the 4 ring cable, will this eliminate the need for the 30 pin?
  5. The only way I can get mine to work was to use both the 30pin USB along with the 3.5mm out. I've got to have both wires hooked up in order to get any sound from the ipad thru the speakers. Had I known this, I would have gone with a different head unit!
  6. I ran into a similar problem with my phone. Go to the BT settings of your phone, delete the Pioneer. Then start all over. I had to do it like three times before it would work every time.
  7. Ya know, between Google and the owners manual, there isn't really much need for this site. When you think about it, with YouTube, Google, the owners manual and the entire www at our fingertips why even come here any more? All hacks are on YouTube, all information regarding mods are on Google and Jesus help you if you ask a question you'll get "spoon fed", "google" and "owners manual". Next time I post I'll be sure to include how to get Android OS to take over the Z120BT. Oh wait, you can get that on Google. My bad.
  8. I went to BestBuy, spoke to a manager and he agreed to look at my radio for free to get me an accurate estimate. Turns out the adapter that was needed for the Chrysler has it's own volume setting, it was turned all the way down. Thirty seconds later he is putting my dash back together. When I asked him how much, he said "Don't worry about it, it's all good." I handed him some money, he was refusing it and I put it in his hand ($40). While I am backing out, he comes to the car and hands me $20 back and laughed. He said it was too much. Some people are incredibly cool.
  9. I purchased a real Pioneer wire (not off of ebay, from a legit source). It has two wires, I female USB and a input like the headphone jack. When I hook up the IPAD to the 30 pin USB, I get no sound. When I use the other input wire (for headphones) I get no sound. I need to use both the 30 pin USB and the input wire to get sound from the IPAD to the headunit. I tried going into settings and changing it from video to ipod and etc but nothing works. Do I need a new wire that is IPAD and IPOD compatible?
  10. After downloading and upzipping the file 5 or 6 times (and putting it on the SD and formatting every time) I got it to work. Didn't do anything different, just kept formatting the card and moving the file over to the SD and installing into the radio. Finally it worked. I am using a factory Pioneer mic and not having any of the issues other people are talking about. It sounds crystal clear and works perfectly. It's actually the best BT I've ever used. Blackberry Curve Iphone 4 HTC Evo (Android) And some other crappy phone All are working perfect.
  11. OK here is what I did step by step and for some reason I can't get the Z110BT to prompt me for the password when I install the SD card. I am thinking it has something to do with the Pioneer download, it may be patched or something. I am using a 8GB card, and I have several of them trying to get different ones to work. 1: I downloaded ShortFuse.zip 2: I downloaded from Pioneer 3: I replaced both files with the ShortFuse ones. 4: I formatted the card as instructed. 5: Installed the card into the Z110 and it updated. 6: Downloaded the torrent and unzipped it 7: Formatted another card
  12. Need help, please. I am stuck. I downloaded the first part and replaced the files just fine. Installed those without a problem. I downloaded the torrent, unzipped it and installed it to the SD card. When I install the SD card it will NOT prompt me for the password. Yet I did the BT update just to see if it would work and it did (both of them). Now I am trying to get the unit to ask for the password and it wont. Please help?
  13. Does anybody know of a good installer in SW Houston? I just got my Z110BT and the guy did a junk install on my Chrysler 300. He said he needed more adapters, etc. The only reason I let him do the install was to make sure the unit worked. It's installed, sounds like crap (only using 2 speakers) because he didn't have the right plugs, adapters, etc. Now that I am satisfied it works, I need somebody to do the right install. While I did search google, everyone I talked to specialized in the Chrysler & Pioneer and just started a BS marathon. So, do you know a guy?
  14. I am thinking of purchasing a Z120BT and had a few questions, I would appreciate your input. 1: Is the BT really that bad? I've heard horror stories and no fix is mentioned? Can I install a separate BT unit? I got an old Pioneer BTsomething that worked perfectly on my AVIC-D3 2: Is there a 3.5mm jack? I want to run the headphone wire from the iPad as an input? 3: Is there a wire that will charge & play the iPad? 4: I've heard lots of complaints and people calling it a "POS", should I get something different?
  15. Um... OK. Then I need the other disk. My disk only works in California, is the other one for the rest of the US?
