My Z120 won't even recognize that there's a phone connected. (IPhone 6 Plus)

Heads up... I got my new IPhone 6 Plus on Friday and it doesn't work on my Z120. I've been using the lighting adapter to convert the interface when I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to the 5 and everything was working OK. The head unit won't even recognize there's a phone connected now.

Well this one statement from that page concerns me. What does this do for the Pandora controls? Hmmm... The things that they do not let you do: Utilize iPod Out, a relatively little used feature that allows transference of the iPod or iPhone’s music controls to an external screen or buttons, like the one in a car or on some home audio systems. BMW was an Apple partner for this feature.

My firmware is out of date. Pioneer has v2.003 available for download, but the link on the website is to a .ZIP file called "110". Is this by design or is the link on the site messed up? Is the firmware between the 110 and the 120 interchangable? Thanks yo.

Old topic that I'm breathing life into.... I'm still on a Z120 and have been in my GTI for a year and a half. Overall. I'm disappointed. Like most of you, the Bluetooth and the VR is effectively useless. I haven't paired in ages and I don't talk to my radio. My other chief complaint is the resistive touch screen. I hate it. I suppose I'm high and dreaming to ask, has Pioneer done anything with actual hardware in the HU? Is a capacitive screen too much to ask for? I don't suppose Bluetooth has been addressed? It's been reported that some, not all, of the Z130 users saw any BT improv

I would imagine you can use it on multiple head units. Once ordered you've got the files on an SD card. To my knowledge Pioneer isn't getting "license" specific like software.

Ok... Stupid question on my Z120. I've set all of my radio presets, but the description of the presets still say "Preset 1", "Preset 2", etc. It's kind of retarded that they don't auto-rename to the station that is set. Is there a way to rename the presets?

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.

This is no longer the case. See this thread: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/28311-ios4-issues-with-the-avic/page__p__224219__hl__pandora__fromsearch__1#entry224219 I once thought you HAD to use the PandoraLink app, but was frustrated with the lack of multitasking. When I inquired, someone pointed out it was no longer needed. I deleted the PandoraLink app from my phone and started running the "vanilla flavored" Pandora app. I have complete control over the Pandora app. I FREQUENTLY thumb up/down songs and bookmark songs. I recently upgraded to a PandoraOne account and I've now got more

You don't have to have any special app installed on the phone... You simply need to connect the iPhone to the head unit with the cable adapter. You won't see the Pandora icon until the phone is connected. I have an iPhone 4 and use the plain ole Pandora app EVERYDAY on my Z120.

Stupid question, but was the ID3 tag of the mp3 "actually" updated with the album art or is it just an "iTunes thing"? BTW - mp3tag http://www.mp3tag.de/en/ works fantastic for tagging and cleaning up the ID3 info. Half the crap you torrent is incorrect and has stupid text in the comments field. Not that I condone such activities.

iPhone 4 & Z120 installed in a 2009 VW GTI. Mostly unusable.

My iPhone 4 started having hardware issues. Some sort of short inside the phone. The Apple store replaced my phone under warranty. So I restored my iPhone from a backup and paired it to the Pioneer. It "seems" as though my call quality has improved. I called my office and left myself a minute long voice message and to my surprise, I could actually understand myself when I played it back. For some background information, I've had my AVIC Z120 for about 7-8 months now and the BT has been pretty much unusable. I've tried two different mics (both Pioneer AVIC issued mics), I've tried vario

Please keep us posted. I have BT problems with my Z120 and am fed up with it. I'm contemplating upgrading to the Z130 if it will fix my issues.

It probably won't make much difference, but I'm pretty desperate to get this working now. For $17 and change I might as well give it a shot. Thanks.

So you've got your new Z130 installed now and you are having issues with the bluetooth quality? If so then this confirms my fear.... That Pioneer didn't address any of the BT issues.

Is the mic sold with the CK3200 available as an invidual sale? Looking at the tech specs of the CK3200, I can't find a model number for "just" the mic.

JasonH? Another forum member? JasonH, speak now or forever hold your pease. Please and thank you.

My reseller has offered to buy back my Z120 and give me a deal on the Z130. The ONLY... ONLY reason I would do this is for better Bluetooth. I happened to be lumped in with the "It is so unusable, I don't use it" crowd. I love my Z120, but am frustrated to the point of not having BT worth a shit, that I'm considering another unit from another manufacturer. I like the idea of staying with Pioneer. What are the chances that the BT issues have been resolved with the Z130? I've read some of the release highlights on the Z130 and there isn't one mention of BT updates. Has anyone heard anyth

Interesting note about the Pandora app vs. the Pioneer Pandora app. For some reason I actually get commercials now. The Pioneer Pandora app never played them. Odd. Not that I really care, it is just intersting to know why one app played commercials and one didn't. I always assumed the Pioneer app was more or less a "wrapper" for the Pandora app.

Yea.. It wasn't well advertised. Thanks for the tip.

Ouch. I feel like a horse's ass. I had no idea. Sooo... I will follow up a stupid comment with a stupid question: What was the purpose of the "Pioneer Pandora" app if the regular Pandora app works?

LOL. epic. Right click -> Save Target As... Oh, I WILL be re-using that picture. Thanks.

So.... iOS4 and multitasking has been out for the iPhone for quite some time. Why is there not a multitasking update for the Pandora app yet? Since the release of multitasking on the iPhone nearly ALL of my apps have been updated by their authors to support it.... all except for the Pioneer Pandora app. Still waiting......

So if the issue is SOOOO rampant with the Pioneers, how come nobody has started a petition? Seriously... the combinded amount of money that has been spent on the HU alone should atleast give the community SOME voice. I say we all pile up in the back of a 1987 Chevy pickup with some tire irons, crowbars, and Louisville Sluggers and head to Pioneer HQ. Lets make this a good ole fashioned, southern asswhipin'.
