Exactly Nissan. I just cannot justify the cost of this unit to gain HD radio and a larger screen.I have AppRadio now working on the 920 and I am going to use AUX1 in and a composite cable for the iPhone for non iTunes videos using Azul player.

So I am out the return shipping - cost of a lesson learned.

Unit is boxed up and shipping back tomorrow.

So I just read the User Mnual cover to cover and I know now I made the wrong choice! I cannot believe that the 150 does not have Voice Command - heck, my older X920BT has it!

So I gave up:

Voice Command

Higher resolution video on SD or USB devices

Preset Stage settings for audio

Automatic listening position (the 920 displayed a screen showing 4 seating positions - press your spot and bam, all set)

I don't think I will even take it out of the box - going right back to Amazon. Time to look elsewhere becasue this is certainly NOT a flagship product

Wow - that is really something! I don't think I am looking for that level of integration. I do have an iPhone 4s and a 3rd Gen iPad. I was wondering if I could connect the iPad to the HDMI connector and play through that?

So I have the Z150BH coming tomorrow to replace an X920BT that I have upgraded with the 940 firmware.

Basically I wanted the larger screen - but I struggled over the deplorable SD card video resolution for movies. I was considering on the the upper tier JVC units. Now I am having second thoughts - maybe I should have gone JVC.

Any thoughts on the Z150BH vs. any the the JVC Excelon series?

Noob here so sorry if this has already been answered.

I upgraded my X920 to X940 software. Everything worked fine except now my voice dialing for a phone call is horrible. I would like to go back to the latest official version for the 920.

Is there a thread / topic on how to do this? If it is even possible?

Thanks

Hi All,

New to the forums and new to Pioneer AVIC series. OK - so I picked up a display model AVIC X920BT today for $499. Got it all installed in my brand new 2011 Jeep Liberty - satellite antenna, microphone - the works.

First off - this receiver is awesome! It made the factory speakers come to life! I love it. Bluetooth streaming from my iPad, voice commands, NAV! BUT one thing is killing me - no AM radio reception! I rely on AM in the morning for traffic and weather reports. The AM receiver in the radio is good because I connected a simple wire to the antenna and picked up my local news station - although pretty crappy.

The car is a 2011 Jeep Liberty that came with the base radio - which does receive AM stations just fine. But not the Pioneer - and not the Jensen I tried before the Pioneer.

So what is the deal with the antenna on a 2011 Jeep? FM works fine - but no AM reception. In all my years messing around with car stereo I have never seen anything like this!

Anyone have any ideas?

OK - after reviewing all the wiring diagrams I did notice the Jeep had a wire that was called out as amplified antenna - Pin 7, hooded that up to the Remote Control wire from the Pioneer and BAM - AM reception. Weak signal until I ran BSM - then all was good.

Thanks

Don
