CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Wow. What an upgrade, it's pretty much perfect, and the boot time was very impressive Link to post Share on other sites
dwhitley0381 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Does the harness stay the same? I guess what I am asking is will I have to have it re-installed again or could I take out my current Z3 and just hook up my connections to the new Z? Link to post Share on other sites
mikeinnj Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 This thing is NUTS. Any details on how the Link Artist, Album, feature works? Is there a link button on the iPod screen that pulls up other albums by the same artist and other songs from the same artist? That would be killer. Link to post Share on other sites

Yettavr6 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 wow, i REALLY want this. It really sucks that the MSN direct turner is optional though. I have no more room in my dash as it is with my F900 and the HD tuner, SWI, CANBUS adapter, etc. If MSN direct was integrated into the HD tuner, that would be great. Is this thing still running iGO like the F & X? It doesn't look like it, but i thought that this was supposed to be running the same basic programming as the X? Link to post Share on other sites

The OS looks to be similar, but the nav software looks like an upgraded version of Pioneer's inhouse nav software from the older Z series. Can't wait to see this thing in action. I probably won't get it right away if at all since I really want 3.0 to work out well, but time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites
ill.die.trying Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 i just hope the 3.0 update has all those navi features as i don't have the money to buy another unit Link to post Share on other sites

dwhitley0381 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I like the new Z but I have to say I am going to wait and see what everyone says after they install it. Been down this road before getting caught up in the hype and all and then there are like tons of bugs. One thing I have learned is Pioneer does not do enough real world testing. Just my .02 cents. Will be waiting for good post after installs I hope. Jason one more questions can we still use XM nav traffic instead of the MSN deal? Link to post Share on other sites

Will be waiting for good post after installs I hope.Jason one more questions can we still use XM nav traffic instead of the MSN deal? I wouldn't be afraid of being an early adopter of the Z. All the bugs/BS from the F series were due to Pioneer outsourcing the whole software end to another company. The bugs/slowness were probably a result of overseas programmers who probably never even used a GPS or even owned a car. This time around, Pioneer has rewritten the entire code for all the units in house, just the same as the older Z/D/N series had been. Those were all relatively bug free upon release compared to the F series. Also from the 20 minutes of combined footage of the Z series in use thanks to Jason, we know that in the real world, the Z: Boots up in about 15 seconds, the screen brightness in real world conditions is pretty damn great, the voice control works fantastically, button presses/screen response is extremely snappy, and everything seems to work as advertised out of the gate, as it should. I think that Pioneer has learned a lot of valuable lessons from the F series and are doing everything possible to help rebuild their damaged reputation and recoup the losses taken due to the F series. Also, you'll probably be able to use the XMNavTraffic tuner, but only as a plain XM tuner on the IP bus connection. The new version of the nav software is made to use traffic and weather from MSN only. I WISH they gave the option for NavTraffic. I had it on my Kenwood 8120 and loved having all the info at all times in all locations. Link to post Share on other sites
dwhitley0381 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks for the info... yea I hear on the Pioneer issues, but I still will wait and see. When I bought my Z1 it was one of the first and the heat issue got me and then the first map update took like 3 hours to do and I have to push retry like 1000 times to get the update to work it was horrible.... Now that I am at the Z3 level software it seems to work perfect and I use it all the time.... but the new one looks to be even more better. Anyone use MSN traffic now in Houston, TX if so what do you think of it? Link to post Share on other sites
blown383 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Can anyone tell me what the screen resolution on this unit is? On another note...it would have been bad ass if the unit played Blu Ray disks! -B Link to post Share on other sites
