garrettoomey Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 XM Nav Traffic will not work with the Z110BT. It will work for XM radio service though. I have the MSN Traffic in the Dallas area, and it is WAY better than XM NAV traffic. XM only gave traffic conditions and traffic flow for the major interstates. MSN give you incidents and flow on lots of the smaller highways... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dwhitley0381 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for that info... I use XM and I dont want to buy another turner for just he music does anyone know if I can keep using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yes, you can use your existing XM tuner for music. BTW, the MSN traffic is much cheaper than XM. I was paying $50 per year with XM. MSN is $99 for lifetime with other cool features than just traffic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chrisj Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Auto Sound Discounters I-10 and Sheldon. Do you have or know of a good place with a good deal? Stero Max off the SW Freeway (northbound)near hillcroft told me $1289 on the phone, I did not try to bargan with him but I am sure you could prob talk him down to $1200 or at least $1250 out the door. I know of another place selling it for $1100, but I don't think they are an authorized dealer though. They get their stuff from a distributor on Harwin, the distributor IS an authorized dealers, they were listed on Pioneers web-site but I think they were taken off because they only sell to dealers. Stereo Max IS an authorized dealer though. you can also call some of these places on the link below to see what they charge and/or if you can talk them down. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/porta ... 67a8c0RCRD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6605stang Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was paying $50 per year with XM. That is just for the XM Nav Traffic portion right? Cuz $50 a year is a helluva deal for 1 year of XM. $99 lifetime for MSN Direct? Is that still true? If so, how much is the module? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 $99 lifetime for MSN Direct? Is that still true? If so, how much is the module? Yes, that is still the price. And the module runs about 100 dollars as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6605stang Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Yes, $50 per year JUST for traffic, plus $77 per year for radio... Wow, either you're getting a heckuva deal on the radio portion, or I was getting screwed... or both. I paid $155.88 for a years subscription to the radio, partially why I cancelled it.
