Zune with F-series

[DrewDD]

Does anyone have a zune that they are currently using with their unit? If so can you control all funtions when plugged into the usb? I got mine about a month ago but was in the hospital and still havent had the money to install so now im going to have to do it myself.

Check out this video:

 

It seems to be one of the best ways for controlling your zune. I've personally got mine in the center console so it's hidden, and then I have an IR extender that comes out by the unit. This way I can point the remote at the head unit.

Hey I hadn't thought of doing the IR thing.

 

I hooked up my Zune using Soundgate's ZNCBLPK

Then I mounted it in the center console within easy reach.

(old picture - the cable isn't shown, but comes up from underneath and plugs in the bottom. Also this picture was taken before I got the F90BT, though I continue to use it today.)

 

What I wasn't doing is pushing the display out as you did via Settings - I like that idea a lot (beats having to look down at what I am selecting). I'll give that a shot today.

There is another video where a guy has his zune connected to the rear camera input. This allows him to see the zune, and a small map at the same time.

 

 

Since I have a Zune, and am considering an Avic I would like to know the following:

 

When you connect the Zune to AV1, can you use the GPS?

 

If you use the rear camera input, can you use the GPS? Will it be just a small screen like in the video?

 

Zune has a 4:3 ratio. How do videos look on the Pioneer widescreen? Any difference on AV1 and rear camera?

dont mean to highjack but how is sound quality since your pretty much using anologue signal instead of a digital one? I never had good sound with those so I went with a hard drive with my f900.
