  1. Actually, I've been in this customized scene for a while now. Self-taught. In a nutshell, here are a few features I have running on my Z110BT iPhone 4s dedicated to the car (custom mount hardwired to Z110BT with no wires showing. I HATE EXPOSED WIRES lol). I don't want to lose the iPhone interaction with the Z110BT, so I leave the phone mounted to the custom dash plate. All apps on 4s are already set up to broadcast audio/video on the Z110BT screen (Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, etc.). I use QNAP apps to stream all media from my home QNAP TS-453 Pro server where I have movies,
  2. If your MP4 vids don't work, they need to be converted. Again, search the forum; this has been answered in a sticky
  3. There are a number of threads here that answers this question...... I've personally provided some info HERE. Its a bit dated but it should still work. Just run a quick forum search.
  4. I've successfully updated my Z110bt with the 2013 Maps. I suggest you format your SD card. If you're using WINDOWS, make sure you uncheck "Quick Format". Then copy over the files to the SD card with nothing else on the card. See if this works.
  5. A BIG thanks goes to misterwoofwoof for the download. I followed the "Instructions for Z110BT, Z120BT, and X920BT units" to upgrade my Z110 that had the 2011 maps previously installed. I lost VR for map functions but I'm enjoying the slightly new additions to the interface. No password needed, and all is running SMOOTH!!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!
  6. So what is the result of your progress? Were you able to get full functionality of an iPhone 5 connected to your Z130 with the update? More importantly, were you able to get video sent to your dash?
  7. Search the threads. There is a torrent link available for the files.
  8. Do a search for this question; its been discussed many times. Quick Reference: Can you play ANY videos from SD card to the rear screen? NO!!!!!!! ==> this is by design from Pioneer Playable file-format is different between SDHC & DVD? YES!!!!! ==> see manual AVI/DIVX files work well from discs. MP4 files work well from SD card (but the format is finicky). I eventually used the iPhone for video storage mainly because I can send the video to the rear. I stream Netflix, as well as my personal media from home, to the rear monitors. The RCA AV input video can a
  9. I, too, have the Z110, and I went with the VTL200 back in 2011. The camera is built into the license plate frame. I figured it would be the stealthiest. I have 2 12" subs in the trunk, so I know it takes a beating. Still going strong. UPDATE #1 The camera now has condensation behind the lens. I am unable to remove the lens to clean out the water droplets because the screws near the lens are now stripped. It seems the chrome-like metal is stripping away. I may have to replace the camera. Damn!!!!!! UPDATE #2 I replaced my Boyo VTL200 with a Pyle PLCM21 license plate camera.
  10. I don't think this is true. I am unable to get YouTube to output its video if I use the YouTube app (downloaded from the app store). When I uninstalled the YouTube app, and used the Safari browser to load up YouTube, the phone's media player outputs its video by default, no matter what video is playing.
  11. I've mentioned this in another thread. Do not use the YouTube app, go to the Safari browser, go to YouTube website, play the video from there, and the browser's player will broadcast to the headunit.
  12. Ive found that uninstalling the YouTube app, and using the Safari browser to use YouTube is more ideal. Why, you ask? Because the web-based Youtube can be broadcasted to the headunit.
  13. I have a Z110 (upgraded to Z130), and here are my findings: YouTube app doesn't broadcast to the headunit. Netflix app works in AppMode just fine. No different than on previous IOSes. Pandora works fine as well. Music works as normal, and Video playback works in AppMode. Also, some of my music videos are out-of-sync with the audio. When I view those same videos on the iPone, they are fine. Not sure what is causing this, but it happens.
  14. I actually meant how did you ELECTRICALLY wire it up? Did you tap into the fusebox? Where did you run the wires?
  15. These units have a screen resolution of 800 x 480; this is DVD quality on a 7" screen. I would say your source video quality is low. DVDs look great, and SD vids are hit or miss when it comes to PQ. Also, the dual-zone feature allows you to send a different source (DVD, iPod/iPhone, BT, etc.) to the Audio-OUT/Video-Out REAR RCA plugs on the back of the HU. In order for you to do what you want, you would have to hard-wire your headphone unit to the REAR output RCAs of the HU. The dual-sone feature is best utilized if you have monitors in the back with either headphone capability or bu
  16. Where exactly did you wire up the Power Tamer VS? Near the fusebox under the hood? I would appreciate it if you could post pics.
  17. Any chance of you posting the install files? There are Z130 updgrade files posted but not the Z110/Z120 upgrade, so I thought I should ask.
  18. You want better resolution & quality from downloaded Youtube vids? Well, I suggest you download only Youtube videos that are linked to VEVO. What I do is go to Youtube, type "VEVO" and then an artist's name, and download the official videos from the VEVO site straight to my SD card. Make sure you grab the 640x480 MP4 format (640x480 I think) but not the HD content. These vids have excellent resolution, and for the most part, they work pretty well when copied straight to the SD card. The best part is that there is no need to convert video formats. This wont work if you try to do
  19. No disrespect, but may I ask if you upgraded your Z110 with the correct upgrade? There are two versions; one for Z110/Z120, and the other for Z130. Also, did you try to upgrade the HU with the new tuner installed? Maybe it is expecting to see the old tuner, and goes into a loop because you installed the upgrade with the old tuner. Im just thinking out loud.
  20. Can you tell me if the voice-control for POIs have been removed after the update?
  21. It's good to see others giving back. You are much appreciated. Send me your PayPal info.
  22. I tried finding such a posting but failed to locate it. Do you have a link?
  23. What happened to the list of people that agreed to purchase the 2012 updates?
  24. Correction; there are different upgrade cards for Z110/Z120 and Z130 owners Here are the links to the different SD card upgrades ($120) 2012 Z110/Z120 Uprade 2012 Z130 Upgrade
