  1. I've been out of the loop on this forum. I got my iPhone 6 today and plugged up to my Z120bt. It recognizes the phone, charges and I'm able to play/browse my music. It doesn't play videos but I haven't had that feature for some time. I haven't done any type of firmware update for at least 2 years. I don't know what version I'm running. I can check later, but for the most part everything looks like it runs the same as it did with my iPhone 5. I have the lightning adapter on my original pioneer cable.
  2. I have the Pioneer cable and an eBay purchased cable. Both work fine. But not all eBay cables are the same. Someone posted examples of the differences some time ago. More or less an eBay cable will be hit or miss. For what it's worth, this is the seller where I bought the cable. But I'm not sure if he's selling the same cables. They look the same. I prefer the eBay cable over the Pioneer cable because it's longer and the clips are easier to detach the iPhone. YMMV http://cgi.ebay.com/PIONEER-CD-iU50V-IPOD-IPHONE-3-5MM-USB-INTERFACE-CABLE-/190468754747?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessorie
  3. Works like a charm with YouTube... but it won't work with SlingPlayer. You'll have to jailbreak for that. I'm waiting on the iPhone 4.1 Jailbreak and then I'll investigate what exactly needs to be done. YouTube has a few videos that tell you what to do. I don't think it's too difficult once you get the Jailbreak.
  4. My setup definitely doesn't have a factory look but it works for me. I can extend the cable out a good ways or drop it down and just leave my iphone in the compartment.
  5. that is pretty slick though... thanks for sharing. I'll try to snap off some pics of how I ran mine. Nothing spectacular as that but works for me.
  6. I did a search but didn't see too much on this update. I just did it this morning and haven't really checked for improvements... but I did notice that it now lists my iPhone 4 contacts with First Name then Last Name. Something that I was looking forward to.
  7. What is everyone hooking their secondary A/V connection? I'm trying to get some ideas. Not really interested in rear seat entertainment. I thought about connecting a forward camera. Or maybe connecting my point and shoot camera's mini HDMI connector. I could possibly play back the videos and pics on that. Anyways, any other ideas would be appreciated.
  8. I'm a big fan of the iPhone and the main reason I went with the Z120BT is its integration with iPhones/iPods is second to none. You really can utilize alot of what the iPhone has to offer as far as media. The bluetooth integration is very easy and call quality is great. I use it ALL the time when driving. The iPhone pops up buttons to easily allow you to switch between handset and head unit whenever you need to. I too have installed the PAC switch. Luckily I had to use a PAC TATO (integrates my factory amp to the head unit) along with the PAC SWI. The best thing about this is the P
  9. The boyo license plate cam sounds like the best quality for a good price. I ended up going with the pioneer ND-BC4. Yeah, they cost alot but I was able to get a decent deal on one through Amazon. As of late they are giving decent deals on Pioneer stuff... plus additional discounts. I think I got mine for about $130.00. I'm definitely very satisfied with the build and performance of the Pioneer backup camera. One big reason I went with it is because my 4runner already had a cut out location where the factory backup camera would go, so I used that. The other reason is because the boy
  10. It's the same as you've stated kbonnel. I tried it on an audio song and it fast forwards by holding the track button.
  11. On my Sirius section, I can tap the Sirius button and it scrolls through Sirius 1, Sirius 2 and Sirius 3. Each one has 6 programmable presets. The first one I setup music... second one I setup talk/Stern and third one I setup sports/news. So first I select which Sirius I want... 1, 2 or 3... then I goto the presets and select whatever i want. If I want to skip around I hit the direct and goto the station by number.
  12. Here's a little write up that I posted on another forum... since most everything applies to this forum, I decided to post it here too. My z120bt install with Sirius, backup camera, nav, iPhone connection, etc. Almost everything is done. I haven't figured out what I want to do with the iPhone cable so I'm just running it like I had it with my USA Spec device. Also, I'm not too thrilled about the Scosche trim kit and the Metra didn't even fit. So I'm still searching for something but will stick with the Scosche until I find something. Backup camera was probably the toughest part.
  13. Yes I did... thanks vblue and dawgbone. Looks like it was a combination of things. Since I had the whole thing apart I went ahead and redid all the wires for power and voila. Backup camera works. Hoping for an easier fix but oh well... that's why I'm not a professional installer. Camera works great btw... it's pretty dark outside and I can see very clearly. Thanks again guys.
  14. Well that kind of sucks. I pull the dash and pulled the unit. Checked that the rear was connected to the brown RCA jack (I'm assuming that's the right jack). Traced back the other wires (to power unit) and made sure the power was hooked up. Nothing in the back of the unit seems off. My only other thought is the power is not connected. But would it go into the blank screen and show "images might be reversed" if it wasn't getting power? It only shows a blank screen right now when going into reverse. I also tried playing around with the AV stuff but didn't really notice anything out of
