Found a source for a DA-350 that wasn't so out there, so will order the adaptor and will report back.

So basically the DA-350 as is won't work on our units.

 

I guess since my system is only in my "pleasure" car it's not a big deal, and I can live with the shitty mic for the times I drive it.

 Maybe not "as is", but for another $20 not that big of a difference to as needed.

I still have the background pix for my Z3, are they the right sizing for my z130? know how to put they on unit just need to know if the ratio is the same?

I want to know about this as well for the exact same reasons.

I'm looking at replacing my Z-2 and I am up in the air on whether I should wait to get the 150 or just go with the 140? From what I have read, the 140 uses all the same cables and accessories as the Z-2 (XM, Sirius) does it use the same harnesses? I It be nice if I could just leave all that stuff and replace just the unit itself. I know the 150 is new but what does it have over the 140 that makes me need to wait for it? I'm just not sure. I know it uses a new hybrid sirius tuner and from what I could read it sounds like all the other wiring is new too? Is that right?

I have a Z2 and was looking at doing the same thing.  But looking at the rear of it and rear of a Z140 the plugs for the cables look much different.  Am I missing something?

Ok, I've been in some give and take with Andrea technical support as to the use of their DA-350 mic with any of our AVIC Z units.  The key issue is (cut and past key parts):

"after doing some research on the Pioneer devices it looks like the DA-350 will not work with the" Z1-3 or Z110-140 "as they are showing a mic level in and the 350 is a line level in device."

"The problem with this is that you are going to have a digital in signal and analog output."

"What I was meant by converting the signal was to take the DA-350 plug which is line level and convert it to mic level"

Ultimately they suggested a solution so the DA-350 could be use.  Final cut and paste:
