Heyy, is anyone aware yet of exactly what the limitations would be of the GEX-P10HD if used with the N2?

 

From Pioneer's website:

"Compatible with the following Pioneer headunits:

 

* FH-P800BT, FH-P8000BT, DEH-P700BT, DEH-P7000BT, DEH-P600UB, DEH-P6000UB

 

"External Control" capable with other Pioneer IP-Bus headunits, a/v receivers and navigation systems, with some limitations of display and control. Please review Owner's Manual(s) for more details."

External control means it won't have a graphical interface built in. You will have to use the function keys to do everything and it may be tricky figuring out what each function key does, and then remembering what it does because they won't be labeled. Kinda like controlling the CDIB100

Well, I went to my local tuner shop, and they ordered one for me for $50. Should be getting in next week. I'll obviously let you guys know how it is after I install.

Hey Folks,

 

I got my hands on a copy of the operation manual for the new HD Radio tuner (GEX-P10HD). Attached is a pdf of it. I'm going to order one for my AVIC-Z2. [/img]

I e-mailed Pioneer about this, asking if they are going to do a firmware update for the HD tuner on the Z2. No responce yet but if I get one I'll post it.

There is a write-up on this in the D3 section, should be the same since Pioneer claims they are both "external" devices, whether you are talking Z, D, or N series

Have you heard anything back?

I would like to know how these operate in a N1, N2, N3 or N4 configuration. Does anyone have one?

I have HD radio connected to N4, it accesed through EXT1. The interface is similair to the tuner built in to the N4 except for the F keys. In my opinion the HD radio tuner is better than the built in tuner even for non HD radio stations. I added a antenna splitter to be able to use both functions.
