Does anyone know if Pioneer plans to fix this app? In the latest update they removed the map search functions making the app useless. This is the main way I use the nav by searching in AVICFEEDS and then synching with my AVIC-Z140. Are they doing something new with the AVIC-Z150? Or what's up? I can't believe they updated the app and made it useless.

My shop replaced my head unit with a replacement Z140 and the problem is gone.

I've got an iPhone 5 on order. No clue when AT&T will fulfill my order though. I have an iPod that I have dedicated to the Z140, but I will be happy to test when the phone eventually arrives. As long as I can make calls using the Z140, I will be happy. But I know some of you guys want more features tested out.

I put up a review on Amazon a while back. Of course, a lot of the reviews on Amazon don't seem to know what they are talking about. Complaining that the Z140 doesn't come with a traffic tuner (it does), claiming you need to pay $300 for accessories, etc. It is a good unit, good touch screen (better than the 940), sounds great, the nav works great for me, etc. It is a bit slow to start up, but other than that it works great for me. I especially like that I can do a search on my iPhone for an address and it will be added directly to nav.

Or just some good car insurance.

I have an iPod Video 30g and it works perfectly every time. You don't need an iPod touch.

Not really sure how it picks routes to begin with, but it does learn over time. So if you prefer to go one way, after you do it a few times, the nav will start to recommend that route.

I know one guy posted he already bought it.

Nevermind, I found it- http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Map-Upgrades

Link? And is this only for older units or are there map upgrades for the Z140? If so, I can't find them on the Pioneer website.

Had issues with my Z140 intermittently not powering up when I started the car when it was about 4 months old. My shop swapped it out. My replacement unit has crashed once, where it rebooted after playing music for about 10 seconds. Also it keeps forming a VR database every time I get in the car which my old one never did.

After owning my Z140 for approximately 4 months it started to not power up occasionally when I started the car. If I restarted the car most of the time it would then boot up. I took it back to my local shop and they attempted to trouble shoot it and eventually decided to just swap it out. So far I have not had this occur since the replacement, but it has only been about a week. Has anyone else seen this?

If you are that unhappy, I don't know why you would want to keep the Z140. Personally I love mine, but I never owned an earlier version. And I honestly could care less about the loss of voice commands. It seemed like a silly gimmick to me. I would much rather have the better Nav that supposedly the Z140 has. But once again, I don't own an earlier model to compare it to. I hear the new Kenwood Navs are nice too, so maybe try them if you are that unhappy. Why did you even upgrade if you were happy with the Z2?

So you are still using the Bose amp? I switched to an Alpine 5-channel since I was told by also the Vette audio gurus that it would sound horrible otherwise. I thought you swapped yours all out in the end too....or am I confusing you with someone else on the Vette Forums.

It only lost VC of POI searches and entering addresses I believe. So even if it did work in my car I don't think that the difference would be a big deal. The new maps would be more important. I can't imagine ever needing to do a VC POI search. I haven't done a single POI on my Z140 yet to begin with!
