Better, Accurate maps.

A switch to NAVTEQ would be the only way to get better maps and routing. This would no longer make a Z4 backward compatible but would finally make it a NEW model and not just updated maps.

I just want the removable face and updated faster software.. and navteq maps.. and we cool..

zune interface!!!

What do you mean, backward compatible? Are you saying you would need new hardware for thing like the XM traffic? Other then that why would you care if you your system could not load the old maps? I guess you are worried about the Z1-3 not getting the new maps (forward compatible). If the maps and system are done in SW they may be able to just change the maps and routing algorithm in the Z#-->4 update. But there may be a HW limitation to it.

The old pioneer navs were navteq and this years update disks still work with them so I don't see why it would be an issue to go back. But I don't see it happening since Nokia owns them now and would probably charge a fortune for the licensing

Ability to add MP3 files to the HD; password protect the "Return to Home" button; option to display larger clock; NAV should display destination address at all times; RDSS info; USB interface (other than just iPod); upgrade Bluetooth; ability to use a Bluetooth headset as the mic/speaker...

if you all have problems with the z why keep it? lol

i am unsure of what double din head unit i want maybe some help would be nice. i have a 06 mustang coupe.

Ability to add MP3 files to the HD; option to display larger clock; & automatic volume control based on ambient sound.

Better interface for HD radio and usb devices!!!!

I would like to see full screen 3D map, and a better looking maps.

These maps they have now really suck, If I knew that before I bought the system, I would never of bought it. Also the learning feature never worked once and when i called Pioneer, they could not help.

The Z3 is bulls**t, when it comes to the maps.

I think pioneer did all their Z*- series customers a big unjustice, and should come out with a new Z4 update with all new redesigned maps and some new features you guys have on this poll.

Well, since no Z4 was launched or announced at the CES 2009. We can say goodbye to a new Z series and expect nothing but map updates from Pioneer.

So with no new Z series, a decent N flip out single din.... there is really nothing pioneer has to offer anymore.

IMO, the F series is still not worthy to compete in the navi market.

The Pioneer dudes @ CES said their new nav won't be released until summer time. You might want to til then to proclaim that they have nothing to offer anyone anymore

I hope you are right.

it really seems like pioneer is letting the Z series die, since there wasn't anything at CES this year. i was looking forward to something with a 800x480px screen and full-speed ipod control, but i guess it's not to be.

You may want to look into the F series then It has both those features.

Maybe something along the lines of the new units introduced in Japan last year...

Would be nice... Res is 800 x 480
