kryngle Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Pioneer finally released the CNDV-900HD and its goin for $120. Who will buy it first? Let us know the improvements and changes to it. Y'all think it will look close to the Z110BT interface? Is it possible? http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Accessories/NavigationUpgrades/CNDV-900HD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sharp Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 You only have to pay $120 for the US-version? The European version costs $400 in Norway! Pioneer is totaly ripping me of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brock.travis Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'd be interested to know if you can tell if any of the newer roads in our area were updated Garret. ...and if it works ok on that Z2 with your Z3 image. If it's worth it for our area, I'll be dropping back by your house again. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Looks like its just a map update. I was hoping for some interface updates but by the looks of it, Pioneer gave up on it which business wise it makes sense but still, there are so many bugs that still needs to be fixed...... I'm probably going to opt out and not getting this update. Maybe wait another year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ruict Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I personally think this upgrade is a piece of shit. Pioneer should be ashamed of themselves. Unless the upgrade consists of new graphics and totally get rid of the double screen, the upgrade is worthless and not worth $120. The Z1-Z3 system was the worst thing I ever bought and I truly regret it. I remember when I called pioneer to complain about the memory feature and the graphics they gave me a song and a dance about how the system was great in other ways. I think pioneer should create new upgrades to fix the hedious graphics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
