All calling functions work through the z130. Incoming outgoing and voice recognition functions as well. Just remember to turn on echo canceling.

Two things; 1. in response to HyPnOtlk, Don't know about z110 updated to z120 but I have been placing and receiving calls (even with Voice recognition) thru my z130 headunit with the block adapter plugged into my Iphone 5 no problem. 2, In response to Trjons, Yes there is a microchip in the Apple adapters.

I spent hours putting them in numerical order then doudled checked and redid the ones that where out of order on the sdcard. Thanks for the info I'll give this a try and see what happens.

I recently spent a couple of hours rearanging by Music library to be more z130 friendly. Took time to sort them into folders so I didn't have to scroll all over the place to find the group I wanted. That worked out well,but what I don't understand is why when I made sure that they were all setup to play an album from track 1 - the last track they keep showing up out of numerical order. Is it me or is an SD card/z130 thing. I want to hear the album in the order it was recorded. Any suggestions?

DRM Buster is the easiest way,when you rip a youtube video it gives you a menu with the formats you can convert them too. I use MP4 and import them to Itunes for my Iphone and play them thru it. You can put them on an SD card just as easy. Here is the link, www.drmbuster.com I have been using it for about 3 years no problems. Hope this helps.

I have been using my 30 pin adapter (block style) with my Z130 and the new Proclip Iphone 5 cradle. This is what I am getting from my 5 1. All audio from Pandora (which is working flawlessly). 2. All audio from my playlists 3. All audio alerts from my Escort Live app. 4. Charging of course 5.Only gripe I have is that everytime I plug the phone in while listening to another source, the Z goes into App mode. I also have my 3gs plugged into AV2 on video and get all my video playlists there.

Ok my 9500ci/Escort Live system is finally complete. I had to wait for Apple to release the 30-8 pin adapter to connect to my Z130. Here is what you will get. 1. VBLUE is correct you will not get anything on screen. 2. You will get voice alerts through the headunit if your phone was in speaker on when signing in to the Escort Live app. 3. Only the audio messages that the Live app generates are heard through the headunit not the 9500ci.

It is really easy. 1. Connect the Red wire from the Power Tamer vs (PTvs) to a constant battery power source. 2. Connect the Black wire from the PTvs to ground 3. Connect the Orange wire from the PTvs directly to the power wire from your Z unit don't splice it in. this should be the only power in to the Z unit. 4. Disregard the Yellow wire from the PTvs. It is not needed. 5. Set all the dip switches to the off position. This will put the PTvs into test mode, giving you 5 seconds to start the engine. Here is the link to the PTvs wiring at the manufactures' website. http://www.copelande

I wired the unit this way. Red wire of the Power Tamer VS to my 12v distribution block. Black wire of the Power Tamer VS to my Ground distribution block. Orange wire of the Power Tamer VS to the Red 12v lead of the Z unit's power connector. I did not use the Power Tamer VS yellow lead, it is not needed. Sorry for the confusion. This is a great unit.

I wired it under the dash in my Explorer. When I removed the bottom of the the dash under the steering wheel there wes a metal bracket that the power tamer fit perfect. Just set all the dip switches to off, that will put it in the 5 second "test mode". I didn't use the optional ignition wire. No reboots at all, Power stays on for 5 seconds after you open the door, normal.

Does anyone know wher the VSS and Reverse wires are on this truck? Putting a Z3 in it for a friend.

it was just a lol remark not personal. The other thing is that the Escort Live app relies upon the number of reports from other users in your area. If there are only a few people that have the system where you are you will only get a few reports. Here is the link so you can figure out for yourself if it is a good investment for you. This for the Iphone. They also have one for the Android. https://www.escortra...&cat=257&page=1

Always Mr. Positive, anyway I'll let you know if it works when I get mine installed.

Well it might display on the unit if it was AV2 and set to video. Won't know until mine comes in should be Friday or Monday.

UPDATE; Escort has just released a Smartcord Live directwire for the 9500ci. It goes in between the display and the main interface. It retails for $149.95 and uses ethier an Iphone or Android. Not sure if the info displayed on the phone will display on the headunit though. Just ordered mine and will post after a through evaluation. The product info looks interesting hope it is worth the money.

This is the z110-140 forum check the X series forum for info on them.

When you are in the Pioneer web site looking at the z130bt map upgrade, open the z130bt upgrade page go to manuals and brochures page and open the installation manual and read it. it will tell you that it will change the features on your 130 to those of the 140. The page and chapters are directly from the install manual. Looks like Pioneer sent Nav Tech code to include with the maps. Here is the link, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Map-Upgrades/NAVTEQ+2012+Map+Upgrade+for+AVIC-Z130BT,+AVIC-X930BT,+and+AVIC-X9310BT

Well page 18 in Chapter 4 spells out very clearly what will not work after the upgrade. Page 14 Chapter 3 tells you that the z140 operating manual should be used after the upgrade. I would upgrade if it was just the maps , but I don't have an Andriod, Don't need the advanced app features and don't want to lose any VR functions. Looks like I'm saving 120.00 bucks.

Got my Power Tamer VS today and installed it as per the instructions. It works great!! The programing is a piece of cake using dip switches compaired to the TR7. I turned all the switches off to put it in the 5 second test mode and haven't had a reboot yet when going from Acc to Engine Start. The only drawback is the price, $85.00 from a fleet dealer and the unit is larger than the TR7. Other than that I love it.

I still have the background pix for my Z3, are they the right sizing for my z130? know how to put they on unit just need to know if the ratio is the same?

This is not just a map upgrade it will take away the VR functions for POI and Address!, which is the reason I bought the z130bt instead of the z140bh. It will also give you advanced app modes and Andriod functions. According to the upgrade manual you should get and use the Z140bh manual as your operating manual if you do this upgrade.

I have a z130bt and a passport 9500ci. There is no video out on the passport, the app support for the passports only work with non-installed models with the smart-cord live. Sorry.

Using a 32GB SDHC Class 10 with my Z130BT and it works perfectly. I also used Guiformat at http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm it is quick and simple.

And that's why "someone might ask" if i was and want to show i wasn't

Ok this might be off topic, I did the bypass on my z130bt it works great. Wondering though if I can put a switch on the ground wire so I shut the bypass off so it won't work if questioned about it if "someone asks".
