  1. While I can't speak to your 120's,IIRC the GPS antenna from my Z140 worked with my 8200 when it was installed.Maybe check the "accessory" listing for your units at Pioneer and see if they're the same?
  2. I see you've updated both units involved in the problem. IIRC,the latest Pioneer update includes a change to reduce noise when the head unit is connected to an Apple device. Have you tried a factory reset?
  3. You're welcome.I think it was bottom right for the maps in naviextras.The bottom left was the extras.I did maps first and noticed it.I installed the extras and then plugged it into USB 1 on the head unit.Did you do the firmware updates as well?I noticed the navigation software got REAL glitchy and hard to load after that update.
  4. I had a problem with my updates not working.I found there was map updates and "other" updates listed.Do both.
  5. First off: 1. Did you do both updates when you used Naviextras to download the maps? 2. In the GPS settings,it tells you what the map versions are.
  6. To be honest,I would expect the OEM's to support map updates for the duration of the vehicle's warranty period or at least one year with the option to upgrade to lifetime for a nominal fee. These radios are a luxury aftermarket add-on to a vehicle. My Garmin 3590 CAME with lifetime free updates. I also bought lifetime updates for my previous 755T at the princely sum of $90 directly from Garmin. That unit came with one year free. There was two updates for it before I had to pay for more. So how badly is this wonder toy out of date on maps by now? You can buy ONE update for $120 and it ev
  7. Realistically the updates should be free and on a timely basis. We shouldn't have to pay for them. That's just cheesy and an insult to their customers. As for using phone maps,that's not why people buy these units. The indash is supposed to be able to do this accurately. When said accuracy is iffy at the initial point of purchase,is the manufacturer not committing an act tantamount to fraud by not allowing for at least one free update with the option to buy lifetime options later? Why do they not state the maps are only accurate to the best of their knowledge at the date of purchase? To
  8. I would think that BlueTooth and backup camera updates should come directly from Pioneer for free,not from Navteq on a paid basis ... if I read this right.
  9. They probably don't want to kill off sales of the stuff already in the pipline.
  10. Sounds like you've answered your own question. Get the 8400 and a Garmin GPS.
  11. I've talked to them directly on the phone and although they may not have the best attitudes,ultimately money still talks. Let's see if that holds true.
  12. They may not,but if enough people complain and they feel it willl hurt sales................
