  1. #1 - Can't help you there. #2 - Did you follow the Pioneer update instructions (pdf file on Pioneer web site), step 5? This has been covered here many times . To see the internal version number: Press the “HOME†key Select the “Settings†tab Select “System Settings†Select “Service Information†Press & hold left upper corner of the “Service Information†screen for a few seconds If it doesn't say: PlatformVersion: 1.001000 Application Version: 1.001000 then you didn't do it right. That is, unless you used ShortFuse's patch, in which case it w
  2. Well, the fact that my WM6.5 HTC HD2 works perfectly seems to say who's lying. But historically, BT support for the various specs and profiles is inconsistent between manufacturers. They will eventually get it sorted out. BTW, I can boot into Android (2.2.1) and play BT audio MP3s using the built-in audio player. No tags appear, but I can use the Stop/Pause and next/previous buttons to control the playback. If I could just figure out how to get my Contacts to transfer under Android, I'd run it permanently. So far, this custom port (HyperDroid) is about 80% ready. I'm lovin some of the app
  3. Yes, you're doing something wrong! How could we possibly know what with so little information. You didn't even say which update you are trying. This thread is titled "Step by step update from z110bt to z120bt". Assuming you mean the 1.001 update, start over with a different SD. Do the original Pioneer v1.0001 update first - with no modified files. If that works, install ShortFuse's files into the correct directories in the SD and do it again. With his patch, the verion should be v1.002 (or was it 1.003, can't remember). If you can't get the plain old Pioneer v1.001 to work, then: 1.
  4. Try searching for Netflix. It's been discussed before.
  5. You don't navigate through iPod menus, you use the iPod interface on the Z120. See and several other You-tube videos. That and Music Sphere is all there is.
  6. Are you saying the connectors are different? I wouldn't try changing or splicing them. If they are the same, it probably will work. Why don't you test it with the old (installed) one first. If it works, you're good! BTW, it really isn't critical, or important, where you place the antenna. Mine is under the hood (OK it's a mid-engine, so technically its in the front trunk). For a front engine, it would be like attaching it to the firewall next to the wiper motor. It works fine completely covered with the aluminiuum trunk lid.
  7. I hope you didn't pay much for that installer. Didn't he even test the system? I only have the Z110 Installation manual. On pg 12, It even shows a picture of a parking brake and a sample diagram. I'm sure the Z120 manual is nearly identical. Are you sure you aren't looking in the User's Guide? You can download the Installation Manual from Pioneer. If you are going through all that, you might as well do the bypass youself. It is well documented here and even You Tube has videos.
  8. There is both a limitation on the number of directories (300) and the number of files (2500) regardless of the SD size. See the Appendix Media Compatability Chart. There are also likely limitations on the file name format. I'm sure it is more restrictive than Windows.
  9. Yes, and that is a point of confusion, especially when they connect it to the dash light dimmer circuit. You can't "dim" the AVIC along with your dash/instruments. You can only toggle between the day and night settings (which can be customized by holding the Mode button).
  10. There is no "dimmer" wire, but connect the Orange/White wire to a circuit that is +12v when your lights are ON. This controls the day/night display on the HU. If you have Daytime Running Lights enabled, this can be a problem on some cars. I had to disable mine cause the HU always thought it was night. As far as the rest, why don't you check your Installation Manual, or download it from the Pioneer web-site. And as homework, make a list of all the other wires. Then post it here.
  11. This update is very simple. Assuming your files are not corrupt, which I doubt, then it must be something you are doing wrong. Since I can't tell from your post, why don't you spell out, in precise detail, exactly the steps you did to create your SD card. You can leave off the download and unzipping part. Your SD should have one, and only one, directory in the root: \AVICZ110. This should contain: Directory of SD \AVICZ110 <DIR> APL <DIR> BOOT <DIR> FONTS <DIR> PLATFORM EU090APL.HTM EU090APL.VER EU090BOT.HTM E
  12. I don't use that feature. I gave you the page number for a reason. If you had looked you would see:
  13. Make sure Echo Cancel is ON. (See Manual pg 74). I found that it improved the quality a bunch. I don't know if it is on by default. As far as the mic goes, in your case I'd buy a Garmin mic and have your installer yank and replace in one step. If you have to pay an installer, it would be both cheaper and easier to just do it all at the same time. The cost of the mic is less than the labor. Then send the old mic to Pioneer if you want a spare (assuming it tests as defective - which is a crap-shoot). It is also possible that your installer did a poor job. Make sure the mic is fully inserted
  14. Send back as in return (RMA)? Or send in for repairs? If you are thinking of returning cause you don't like it, don't worry about it. They'll never notice a wire in the wrong socket. That is unless you cut it out. Then you'll have to pay for another power harness. If you need to return for warrantee service, then don't send your harness. They can't require you to rip apart your wiring. Or, if that doesn't fly, buy another cable. And once it is out of warrantee, it's none of their business how you have it wired.
  15. I think you are talking about nano's. He has an iPod Video (5G) - which will work. According to the manual, none of the older 'classic' versions (G1-4) will work. My old 4G Photo doesn't.
  16. Not very well. Page 14. Press the Eject button.
  17. The one on the left is the Z110-BT. It looked like that for all ipods that were supported. The right side is the new interface/software (Z120 or an updated Z110). You won't be able to use Pandora with your older iPod, but the rest should work. I don't remember, but I think iPod Video is 5th Gen. Gen 4 and below won't.
  18. Yeah, start over and do it again. It works, so if you are having problems, it must be something you are doing wrong. How could we possibly help you with so little information? This applies to everyone who has had issues doing the update(s) - all three major steps (or 5 if you include the 2 BT updates). 1. Follow the instructions explicitly and completely for each individual update. If something is not absolutely clear to you, ask questions here. Maybe you aren't clear about a step and assumed something wrong. No shame in asking. 2. If a step fails after several attempts, and you followed
  19. Since your video shows German language, I assume that this in not the US update. Has anyone successfully gotten the EU/German version of the v2.xxx update to work? I recall questions about it but I don't remember anyone admitting to doing it.
  20. Exactly, it doesn't shut off. It just stops/causes and goes it a partial sleep. It is really a matter of semantics, and, like vblue42 said, there really is no need for an off button (one that actually turns the power off). For reasons that should be obvious, it would have to be a hard button.
  21. I see from another thread that you finally got it to work. Good for you. Can you elaborate on the fix so you might help others who are similarly "challenged"? BTW, please don't post nearly identical "HELP" messages in two places. You updated one with a "never-mind", but left this one hanging.
  22. In that case, how do you turn it on while driving? I think it just turns off the backlight of the LCD screen.
  23. I notice that sometimes I am behind the plotted arrow, and sometimes I am in front of it. Not sure if it is a directional thing, meaning a constant error in one direction/quadrant. In that case, for example, I would always be lagging the plot when headed East, and always be trailing the plot when headed West. This reminds me of the old days before they turned off Selective Availability (SA). For you young'uns: SA was a technique to reduce the accuracy of unaugmented, single-receiver GPS measurements. This was accomplished by altering (or "dithering") the GPS satellite clock signals
  24. Yeah, I hope you haven't already pulled the trigger on all those cables, adapters, and missing parts. I thought it was odd when, in another thread, you said the seller was replacing it with a Z120-BT, which is exactly the same unit. All that it takes is a software update, which can be had for $150 (or free). So why replace the HU if it was working?
