  1. I updated my 7000 from 1.08 to 1.10 two weeks ago. I updated again from 1.10 to 1.11 last week when the new update came out. I also installed the BT update that came with it. No issues so far.
  2. I updated my 7000 to 1.11 last week. No issues so far.
  3. I installed it yesterday on my 7000 with no problems so far. After the install I only had a minute or 2 to connect to the AVICSYNC app and play with it, so I don't have enough info to leave a useful comment yet. Looking forward to trying it out tonight.
  4. Instead of re-routing the cables between your center console and glove box, pull the unit and switch the USB1 & USB2 cables on the back.
  5. I couldn't see album art in Car Play before 8.3, and still can't see it with 8.3. If I turn up contrast & brightness enough to see the album art, even a little bit, the icons/buttons on the main CarPlay screen become totally washed out. Maybe someday they'll get it sorted out...
  6. I believe they're the house or business numbers you'd see as you drive down the road - although they're not at all accurate the couple times I've used the nav screen.
  7. It is available on the Z110 - I've used it on mine. You are correct, it's one of the map display options with 2D, 3D, etc. The rear view is 2/3 of the screen and the map is the other 1/3.
  8. I'm encouraged by this. Any update to the navigation should be an improvement - the Z110/120/130 have the worst navigation I've ever used.
  9. I asked the same question and was told that I can update my Z110 directly to the Z130. I'm still waiting for the 130 map update to be released so I can verify.
  10. As far as reporting the errors to Tele Atlas, I wouldn't hold my breath that they'll correct it in a timely manner. A little more than a year ago I went to their website to report some errors (like you, my neighborhood is about 6 years old and my entire street doesn't exist on their map). I just checked their map and it still can't find my address. I went back to check the error reporting status and it still shows the same thing it showed a year ago - that they're working on it but the work hasn't been completed. Frustrating!
  11. The units still need a complete Nav revision, but I'm quite happy to finally hear this! Since I haven't updated my Z110 to the Z120 software yet, would it be possible to update directly to the Z130, or do you have to first update to Z120 and then to Z130?
  12. Not sure if it will 'integrate' with nav on the new system or not, but I played with Aha traffic on my phone on the way home last night and you are correct, it's just someone reading traffic information, as if they were reading directly off a state Department of Transportation website. It lists ongoing construction projects, lane closures, and gives occasional warnings of congestion - but this was in rush hour traffic in downtown Seattle, so it was not surprising to hear that the roads I drive daily had areas of congestion this time of day. It might be handy to use for a minute at a time, bu
  13. I've been playing with Aha on my phone this afternoon and some of the features are cool, but I don't think the traffic feature will be as helpful as a true 'traffic' overlay feature on the map that will re-route you to avoid heavy traffic. I'm interested to play with it in rush hour traffic tonight and tomorrow morning. A note to Pioneer: "Since the new Z130 has a built-in traffic tuner, please offer a 2011 map update (with updated software for traffic overlay), and make a plug-in version of the traffic tuner, for Z110 and Z120 owners." I have a Z110 and would gladly pay for a traffic
  14. This may have been beaten to death already, but does anyone know WHY they disabled the original geotagging feature, or if it will ever be enabled again? You're right, the newer 'dumbed down' feature is pretty much uselss. To some it may have seemed little more than a novelty, but being able to have all your camera roll geotagged (or receive geotagged photos via text or e-mail) was pretty amazing and extremely useful... for example, a friend sent an iphone photo from a great photography site he found. It was off the main roads with no address. He sends the photo to my iphone, I save it as a
  15. I'v had the same complaint since I switched from an older Kenwood to the Z110. All in all I think the Z110 is a great unit, but I agree that if a 3" screen on a handheld Nav or a cell phone can clearly display every street name (and much more accurately in the area I live), I'm at a loss as to why an in-dash unit with a 7" screen only shows a few street names. I still love the Z110, and like what I see with the Z120 upgrade, but I hope future upgrades focus on the Nav.
