  1. I have the Z130 and a proclip. I upgraded to the iphone 5, gave my wife the 4s I had, and traded her iphone 4 for a 32 ipod touch 4th gen. I have it set to sync wirelessly (I have a Macbook, so wireless syncing actually works) This works great because my phone stays in my pocket and connnects bluetooth when I start it up, I have the phone in hotspot mode and the touch, which stays in the dock, connects to the phone. This way I have music, video, app controls, and Netflix. I push all content wirelessly so I don't have to touch the touch LOL.
  2. I have the 130 and just got an IOS update today that fixed the video issue.
  3. Navteq are really good maps though. Wish I could put 140 on my 130
  4. You should try posting this question on a Z130 forum.
  5. I have the 130bt and it's been fine for months. I sometimes got the image may be reversed message but just when I started up. Now it appears while driving down the road and doesn't turn off unless I hit the Mode button. The home button does nothing. If I turn the camera off, it does not come up but I have a camera. The camera does show up when I backup but sometimes it popps on when I start the truck and haven't put it in reverse yet. I have tried changing the polarity and with either setting, it does the same thing.
  6. It was n't in my box but the wires themselves were labeled with tags. The place that put it in knocked some of them off. I installed the amp and speakers myself and it been a pain trying to figure out which wire does what. I don't understand why they wouldn't put something like that on their website. Pioneers support does kinda suck.
  7. I can't get bluetooth streaming to work right after the update. I did get it to play once but the sound was way too low. It's not a huge deal because I have a dock but I hope Pioneer checks into all this soon. 1000+ unit, I hope they support it.
  8. I know it sounds silly but when I first start my truck the picture is real grainy. I check it a few minutes later and the picture looks good. Does that make sense?
  9. The best thing you can do with the first issue is name the coolest song you have AAAAAA, that way it will always play that. I thought about making a sound file that tells me how wonderful I am.
  10. That is what it's set to but it turns off after a minute or so of driving.
  11. nevermind, I have been reading and playing with them. I will get it figured out.
  12. Is it clear what information I am looking for? Just wondering. Sometimes I ramble and my point can be lost.
  13. I have a z130bt, polk component speakers front, 300 watt jl w3 sub in back and an alpine pdx5 amp. the polks run in front channel and I have the sub plugged into the sub channel. my question is about the settings. I see the same settings on the amp as are in the stereo. Auto eq really made the factory sound better. I still have the mic for it, so would that be helpful as well? I have no idea where to start with settings. I have played with them a little and it sounds ok but I think it should be better. thank you for any advice anyone can give.
  14. The split screen view works but only until the camera times out. It doesn't stay on no matter which polarity setting I use.
  15. I ordered a sony mic because I could get it next day. Sadly, pioneer has their own tiny plug so 2.5 wouldn't fit. I ordered the pioneer mic and should be here tomorrow. I don't think it is the mic but damn, I don't want to send it to those boobs. And, I don't want to be with out a unit for weeks. I spend alot of time driving during the day and that will suck. I will test the new mic tomorrow
  16. I looked at the back of the unit and I had plugged the rca connector to the video in instead of the rear camera in. I set the camera to 12v and it comes on in split screen when I start the truck.
  17. Thank you for the information you did give. I appreciate it. I have a good start on this and will update this post when I get it all figured out. I am getting ready to change the microphone out and hope that is the problem with no one hearing me. Thanks again.
  18. I have a z130bt and a Verizon Iphone 4. Album art shows up almost all the time with my music but any podcasts, it hardly ever does.
  19. Thank you that clears alot up. I may have something hooked up wrong because when I am in reverse I have to go to AV2 to see the camera. I have the camera setting to "off" right now but have tried it "on" with the setting to ground and 12v and the only difference it made is that with the camera setting on, I get a message that says the image may be reversed when it boots up. If I turn the camera setting off, I don't get the message. So I was thinking that it could be on of three things. 1. I tapped the wrong wire so I am just getting video input but not turning the camera on. 2. The by
  20. Thank you for the information. Do you know what the purpose of the wire for the camera. Not the video but there was a wire I had to run to my tap. Is it ground? I see the option in the menu for camera on and source as being 12v power or ground. This is why I was looking for a wire diagram. I thought with those options, there is a way to make the HU turn it on. Also, do you know if you buy the pioneer camera, do you have to wire it to a switch? I don't mind putting a switch in. I just want to understand how this works and explore all other options. Thanks again for any info you have o
  21. I have a 2010 FJ Cruiser. I tapped into the backup camera of the vehicle and plugged it into the camera connector on the stereo 130BT and I hooked up the wire. If I change the mode to av2 and put the truck in reverse, the camera shows up on the screen. When I try to turn the camera on through the menu, it will not turn on. I thought the camera wire hooked to my camera activation wire would do it. I have searched all over for a wire diagram of the head unit but can't find one. Any advice would be great. I would like to see the camera in split view when towing. Thanks.
