sconnors11 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi guys, I'm a bit of a lurker around here, and this is my first post. My Z120 was stolen out of my Dodge Ram. For a replacement I'm looking at a Z130 or a Kenwood 9960. I liked my Z120, with the only problem being the crappy bluetooth mic. The BT performance is the reason I'm considering the 9960. I am hoping that Pioneer may fix it in the Z130 as it has been mentioned here that the 130 includes hardware changes (integrated HD radio, different IPod cable, etc). I was lucky enough to read a thread last year with a killer Al and Eds coupon code. If you know of any deals like that on a Z130 or 9960 please either post 'em here or give me a PM. Anything to help with the $1K deductible... Oh, and when will the Z130 be released? Thanks, Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juniorvarsity33 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Oh, and when will the Z130 be released? Thanks, Sean Car Toys said May when I bought my 120. Here's the best deal I found on the 120: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-AVIC-Z120BT-Double-Din-Navigation-streaming/dp/B003JTHW6E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1299263361&sr=8-1 If you buy before end of march, you can get the $100 rebate from pioneer as well. Car Toys is $300 more in store right now. Buying this and buying the 130 software update will be much cheaper than getting the 130. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainInsaneO Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Buying this and buying the 130 software update will be much cheaper than getting the 130. While this is true, you'd be missing out on the hardware changes. sconnors said he was interested in those changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sconnors11 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm definitely interested in the integration of traffic monitoring as the current solution is due to end at the end of the year. Here in Southern California it is useful. The HDradio integration would be nice to try. I've always wanted t try it, but have resisted spending the extra money on it. I could care less about the social networking... I'll be getting a settlement from my insurance company this week. I wish I could find some place to preorder the z130 at a signifigant discont.

VBLUE42 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 There is reason to believe an upgraded 120 will support the new traffic option but there is no way to know for sure until the upgrades are released. I would wait if I were you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sconnors11 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I may put in my old Alpine single din for the short term. It would allow me to wait and see what happens with the bluetooth and traffic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sconnors11 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Got a new 130 installed today, but I'm having issues. I did the bypass mod, but as I'm driving I got a pop-up message that the parking brake wire is installed incorrectly. Unit began locking me out at speed. Does this mean I did the bypass wrong or is this new to the 130? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
