Just read that in Europe, Pioneer is expected to come out with a new harddisk series in about 2 months time.....

I have been waiting until CES to see if there is a new Z series. It appears there is not at this time. I guess it's time for me to order up a Z3!

Up to you.... On the other hand, you could wait 1 or 2 additional months...Personally, I'd be pretty fed up if just after I bought the old model, a new version came out....

Where did you read that?

In a European forum... I fully expect that if they come out with a new harddisk series in Europe, they will also come with a new series for the American market....

But I guess we'll see soon enough. It's just that if I was in the market for a new unit now, I'd wait 1 or 2 months to be sure not to buy an outdated unit. Could be a rumour, but like I said, I'd be pissed if I just bought a Z3 and 1 month later a new improved series came out....

Ya, guess we will find out in a few days

Hopefully it sports a 7"+ touchscreen and does not sport knobs...

If I were to guess, a F series with a HDD... just speculation though

I was told it would be a big improvement, and make people forget the F-series

Anyway, guess we'll see soon enough...

Can you post a link to that forum?

I could, but its in Dutch, and doesn't give you any additional info other then that the new series should be introduced in about 2 months time.....

Well ces is going on this week and pioneer's presentation is on thursday (tomorrow) so lets keep our fingers crossed they give us something decent. I mean i really don't think they would stay with the F-series as that was suppose to just replace the D-series.

I don't want it to be like the F-series at all.

But then again, my Z3 is serving me very well so I won't upgrade but am very curious to see if Pioneer has improved at all after its F-series debacle .

I guess no new Z. just 2 new dd units and a F-series 2.0 (whatever that means just updated software i guess). Booo

F-series 2.0 (whatever that means just updated software i guess). Booo

Same thing its meant for the last two months, nothing new, they just through it in there to advertise that the F series is now functional.

That would be great and I will keep on the look out but if they really are going to release it in two months why wouldn't they at least have a mock up or video at the CES. They did that for the F-series. My guess is that is will be longer then two months if at all but I hope I am wrong.

Maybe they learned from that experience...

F-series IMHO is a huge step back wards.

Pioneer should use this as a learning experience to improve their business model for upcoming new navi products.

-Why did they release a product with so many known issues? Was there no beta testing phase of the product development? Common sense = thrown out the window.

-Pioneer should seriously consider improving its Customer Relations Management (CRM). The callcenter is not very helpful and most of the reps are not knowledgable.

-Use Navteq for its Mapping database.

isn't this kinda like the same thing?

As what? That's just a wish list..

The dude I talked to in the booth said there are more navigation systems coming out this year. When I asked when, he said it was going to be quite a while. So I would guess two months is not correct

Just read April for the introduction date for the new models....

Did you read it in the same place that said it would be here in 2 months?

Yes, so it's consistent....

january + 2 months = March/April ...

i have a f700, which i bought to fiddle with until the z series began using a 7" wvga screen and built in bluetooth. hopefully that will be this year. would be willing to buy seperate garmin for navi.

i'm sorry. brain fart. would take a new version of the p-7800 and seperate garmin or new z series if gps directions were better than the f series. by the way, does the z-series tell you what side of the road your destination is on when you arrive?
