VBLUE42 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Version 1.03 firmware to address compatibility with the iPhone 5 and the 5th gen iPod Touch has been released. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-Z150BH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitman80 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Has anyone applied this yet? I'm concerned about the wording in the firmware notes. Basically saying that the iPod source will not work at all and that you must go into AppRadio mode and run the CarMediaPlayer app to play any music/video from the phone. This doesn't seem all that efficient just to play some music from your phone. The firmware delay seems awful shady to me now. Also, does this hamper the ability to watch videos? Will video apps such as YouTube or Netflix output to the nav screen? I guess I'll find out soon enough when I apply the update. Was just hoping someone already took the plunge.

VBLUE42 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 You will loose the iPod app with the iPhone 5. CarMediaPlayer will be used from now on. And at least with the AR2 with the i5 you can still use the You Tube and Netflix apps so this shouldn't be any different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitman80 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Awesome! I will post back tomorrow after I test it out but I'm sure it will be same on the 150. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2000se Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I asked this another thread but figured it might be relevant here… By applying this update, are we over writing certain files that might aid in breaking into the software. I'm specifically thinking from a jailbreaking perspective as is done with the iPhones where having a jailbroke iPhone and updating with apple supplied updates will update basebands and all that jazz. So I guess I'm asking is applying this update safe from a hacking perspective ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 No one knows but it doesn't matter. If you want i5 compatibility it has to be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
