StephenS Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Will this work with the Z2? It states "External Control" capable with other Pioneer IP-Bus headunits, a/v receivers and navigation systems, with some limitations of display and control. Please review Owner's Manual(s) for more details Here is the link http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... /GEX-P10HD Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenS Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 disregard, I read the owneers manual and it states the following head units operate this unit as an external unit. For more details about the external unit, refer to the head unit’s manual. Head unit group 4 The following head units are navigation units featuring touch panel key operation. AVIC-D2, AVIC-N2, AVIC-N3, AVIC-Z1, AVIC-Z2, AVIC-D3, AVIC-N4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k4fmi Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I e-mailed Pioneer to find out if they were going to do a firmware update that would support the HD tuner on the Z2. No responce yet but I'll post when they do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sternyy Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 i already have HD radio on my Z2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k4fmi Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I ment would Z2 support it other than an external device. Its currently only supported by the Z2 as an EXT device. At least thats what I'm told. How's the interface of the HD device? Is analog FM still available as a source, even though the antenna is not connected to the Z2? Will it only tune digital stations when the source is EXT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenS Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 looks like you can still get get fm. here is what is stated about teh antenna "Car antenna cable (form vehicle’s antenna) Connect the car antenna cable to this unit’s antenna input. It is not necessary to connect to head unit’s antenna input. If you use this unit with a navigation system that can receive traffic information from the built-in FM tuner, connect the car antenna cable to both this unit and the navigation system with an antenna splitter or to a separate antenna."

whtcrxghst Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 The HD tuner has HD and analog built-in. So you run your antenna to it, and you will always use EXT to listen to the radio. Your regular AM/FM source is no longer used Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k4fmi Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Too bad. I've ordered the HD tuner but I do like the FM interface on the Z2. I hope Pioneer comes out with an update to make full use of the HD tuner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k4fmi Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Pioneer said that they do not forsee a firmware update regarding HD radio in the Z2 in the near future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenS Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 How truly pitifull. There top of the line stereo and they do not have native HD capacity. I can buy a $60 stereo from best buy that has HD functionality built in. Pioneer should really be embarrassed by that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrokenLimits Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I agree. One of the reasons I might be switching here soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
