Bluetooth® firmware update

 

So does this mean that the rampant BT issues *may* be resolved in this update??

 

 

I'm not getting my hopes up.

That's MY question...ANYONE with a 120 upload this update yet???

Chris,

Right on and thanks.

For now I enjoy streaming music (source: BT Audio from my BB) more than I make phone calls, so I will continue to push calls into voice mail and call back when I'm not connected.

HOPEFULLY Pioneer will grow some and be accountable for this blatant defect and issue some kind of recall on the unit(s).

Is this class actionable yet?

Crutchfield sent me a new mic and when I called them back they told me the noise I was hearing was normal for BT hands free receivers. I got the same response as you from Pioneer...I'm with you when it comes to having a 'hole' in the dash for 2 months. I would be interested to hear if anyone has gone this route.

In the meantime I am also considering the BlueAnt option but have questions...

1. differences between S3 and S4?

2. what about making a call (outgoing), won't the receiver automatically pick it up...I can't wrap my head around how you'd toggle that?

3. incoming calls I kinda get, I would just have to manually mute the unit when I pick the call up with the BA?

Keep us posted with your progress, especially if you send it in to Pioneer!

Thanks.

I'm inclined to try this alternative but what about outgoing calls...won't the pioneer receiver automatically pick them up?

Just installed the Z120...2003 Jeep GC Overland

love it. All but the hands free calling...my callers report wind noise with the mic at any position within the cabin (windows up, ac off, blah, blah). I have a BB Storm2, paired up no problem can even stream my Pandora through with the source set to BT audio.

So I called Pioneer using the hands free...the first guy I spoke with "Ray" told me they would replace the mic under warranty, then he transferred me to service and warranty and "Henry" said they would have to examine the entire unit to properly assess whether or not it was the mic or not (protocol). I asked "Henry" if I was the first to report having a problem like this, he said I was the first he'd heard of...must be a HUGE organization or noone else is calling them. At that point I asked to speak with his supervisor, was told I would receive a call back from him but never did, it's been a week. Poor customer service IMHO. Hopefully Crutchfield treats me better than Pioneer...we'll see.

In the meantime I have disabled BT...ugh.
