Make sure you pay special attention to items 3-5: 3. Press and hold the top left corner of the “Service Information†screen; 4. The "Platform version" number and the "Application version" number are both displayed --please look at the "Application Version" number, which is displayed on the second line; and 5. If the "Version" number is "3.000" or an earlier/smaller number, please install the new firmware update. If the "Version" number is "3.001" or a later/larger number, the system has already been updated with the new firmware. Also, make sure you unzip the download and on

I just saw this on Pioneer's Website. Go out and get it if you don't have 3.001 NEW Free Firmware Update (Version 3.001) Available for AVIC-Z130BT and AVIC-X930BT In-Dash Navigation Systems June 22, 2011 Dear Valued Pioneer Customer: We would like to inform you of the availability of a NEW free firmware update (version 3.001; released in June 2011) for the Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT and AVIC-X930BT in-dash navigation systems.

Just got a new Z130BT. Thinking about returning it and waiting for the new head unit that comes out on 6/22/11 with iphone integration. It's seems to have the same functionality with much greater potential. I guess there's no way they would do a software update for the existing Z130s that offer the same touch screen control of the iphone?? Thoughts on what to do??? Thanks

UPDATE: I purchased the Pioneer Mic for Auto EQ from Amazon and it was delivered today. The system took about 10 minutes to run through it's samples. It's hard to believe the difference it made in sound quality. So much better. The best 20 bucks I spent in a long time. If you own the HU, you must buy the mic and Auto EQ. Once done, you can still select from Natural, Vocal, etc. Flat sounds the best. No new apms or speakers but the sound system, with the addition of this head unit, is amazing. I've heard from local dealers that Pioneers are not as good as Alpine and Kenwood son

Thanks. I changed the voice option to TTS. We'll see what's better. I also checked the Day/Auto mode and the sun is on for both when lights are on or off....and yes, I have and 08 VW Touareg which has running lights. I am bringing back in on Thursday to have it looked at. What a great resource this forum is. Just some observations of the Unit. Sound- this was the biggest surprise. The sound system is much better than then with the stock healed unit, I assume because of the DAC. Previously, I used a device that allowed iPod hookup to the stock head unit. I can't comment on the s

Thanks for the replies. I don't see anyway to change the voice in any menu? And I have to manually select my phone if my wife used her's last for BT? And this I just found out...I can't change the Day/Night. It only has Day and Auto as a selection. Any ideas?

1. The unit is supposed to have Text To Speech but I do not hear the names of streets being announced. Only "Left Turn Ahead". Is there a setting to change the voice (male/female/computer) which will read the street names? 2. I have 2 iphones set up with the HU. Shouldn't it auto recognize the phone and auto connect via BT? Seems like it tries to connect to the last used iphone and if it can't it stops? I can then go and manually select the other phone and it works fine. Thanks for your help
