VBLUE42 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 It likely wont be 2012 maps. They will be at best 2011. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stargate125645 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Where on their site? Â Edit: I finally found it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grimlock Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Link? And is this only for older units or are there map upgrades for the Z140? If so, I can't find them on the Pioneer website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmtorres Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yes 2012 map update and app radio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
edannan Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 So, in light of the update to Navteq maps and app radio, is there still any benefit to go from z130 to z140 if/when the update becomes available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't think so, but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
edannan Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Kind of what I thought too. I ordered the map update so I guess I'll just wait and see why Pioneer says that I should do the z140 upgrade and go from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't that like another $120? That's crap! Sounds to me like they are just after more money (which is why we need to have this thing cracked). I'm assuming you have the Z130BT? If that's the case, then we should have you send it to someone who knows how to crack it... Speak up, people! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zx6rrdan Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 If advanced app mode worked with my iphone 3gs I'd be upgrading my x930bt but no go so I won't bother. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
edannan Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I didn't talk to anyone at Pioneer beyond tech support as to whether the map update was available directly from Pioneer. In a rather curt manner, the lady I talked to told me that this upgrade had nothing to do with Pioneer and that I had to get it from Navteq. She didn't mention anything about an upgrade of my z130 to z140; probably because there isn't one yet. The Navteq map update appears to be stand alone even though Pioneer shows it will work on the Z130. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds to me like they are just after more money  Yeah we get this every year on this forum from people that just don't seem to realize what they are being offered. Of course they could just not offer the ability to software upgrade your year old unit to the new current unit and just require you to spend another 1000 plus dollars if you want to upgrade but instead they offer you that same ability for a 120 bucks. I really don't see the problem especially when none of Pioneer's competitors allow software upgrades at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
edannan Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 My original question/point was whether there is any advantage in upgrading from z130 to z140 IF/WHEN it becomes available. I agree that it benefits us that Pioneer offers such upgrades and I was just trying to figure out what would make the upgrade worthwhile; especially in light of the fact that I am now able to install Navteq maps on my Z130. If Pioneer can convince me that the upgrade will do anything else beneficial for what I already have I'll definitely consider it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Maybe you should read what it gives you if you upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
