Calm down... It's not like I didn't add any value to this thread... I posted a link where they were being sold (amazon) and you know how I found it... BECAUSE I SEARCHED THE INTERNET. I know it's frustrating when people ask questions you already know the answer to and i'm sorry that it is bothering you so much, but I searched this site and couldn't find anything. I looked at all the parked threads, etc..

 

 

Did you try the very front page, first item? How about 2009 Raodshow, discussion on upcoming new nav units, with stickies?

I placed an order for this deck from some RV company up in Washington. Originally they were "only" charging $1,197 for the unit, but today I see they upped it to about $1,300.00. It sounded like the guy was getting hit with a ton of calls when I called them up Tuesday. Luckily I placed my order then since I'm sure they'll be sold out very soon, and they might continue to raise the price. It seems everyone else is charging at least $1,400, I don't know why their price was so cheap compared to the others.

 

Yeah, I called that tool-bag and asked if they had it in stock. He waffled around, and asked when I wanted it. I said, if you have it in stock, I'd like to order and get it shipped next day air. Then this douchstick tells me, "Um, no, I'm not interested in shipping NDA, you don't need it that soon".

 

I was baffled by this...I've never EVER heard anyone say something like that in retail sales. How in the Hell does this idiot know when I need, want or desire this product. Did he know that my car had been torn down for a week after I had tried the X910 and decided I'd like the look & features of the Z110 better? Sure, I wasn't driving it, since I have 2 cars, but WTF? It's not his job to tell me what I "need".

 

I said, "Whatever, douchebag" and then and hour later got the email from Crutchfield that it was in stock. Ordered it, and it came in the next day. Figured out the bypass the day after that. Screw that dude. The couple hundred bucks isn't worth dealing with an asshole, in my opinion.

Yeah that guy did sounds kinda shady, but I'm not in that big of a rush so I guess I'll give him about a week to 10 days and if I don't receive a tracking number by then I'll just cancel my order. He told me "only 150 were allocated to the US" and that I "was lucky to get my name in the que for one." I was going to say only 3 per state huh?? Wow, I guess only 2 other people in California will ever get one, cool!! lol Instead I just shook my head. He then guaranteed me that nobody else actually has them in stock, which is complete bs, but I didn't want to go there with him since it would be completely pointless. This guy is a real piece of work, so I'll give him until Friday of next week to ship my deck out. If it's not sent out by then I'm just gonna cancel, either through them directly or my credit card.

Ya, when he told me $100 price difference is made up in his free shipping, I was like WTF. Man either price match or not but don't jerk me around. If this is how he deals with people before he gets a sale I wonder how bad it gets after. Good luck getting is shipped, returned, serviced or even charged correctly. I would say the extra $100 or so paid else where with good customer service is worth it, like paying vendor insurance.

I ordered mine from amazon.com for $1,337.98 total including shipping. Hopefully it comes in this week...

Posted Jul 27, 2009 · 04:41 UTC#31

can anyone answer my question's?

is the price diff between the X910 and the Z110 worth the diff in what I see as really only 1.2 inches in display size.

and does anyone know of a way to incorp digital vehicle dynamic gauges thru either units?

 

Thank you for any help/opinion you can give me.

What did you do to figure out the bypass? Can you give a few more details? Thanks.

Hi Joe,

I started with the X910BT but was just not that impressed for the $$$$. I upgraded to the Z110BT and all I can say is WOW. It is worth the extra money. It is not the exact same functionality as the X series, in most things it is better.

 

One of my favorite things is the Contact List that is viewed from my phone, over Bluetooth, I don't have to transfer them and they will always be up to date. I also liked the Bluetooth Stereo.

 

 

.

 

And it also ,by default, has RDS!

thanks for the info, any idea on the vehicle dynamics? I read pioneer site no info, I emailed and have not had a response in over a week, i really need the dynamics but i do not want to have to install another screen and unit not to mention the coin it would cost to do it.

The marketing slick states that it has the 3D gyro and G-Force sensor.

I just got an email from Amazon saying my order was canceled!!! This is ridiculous... I was hoping to get it this week... Does anyone know where else I can get it from?

Posted Jul 28, 2009 · 03:03 UTC#37

yeah , but im talking about rpm,volts, amps,fuel consumption,horse power and a few others.

moiz7, Which retailer thru Amazon gave you the shaft?

This has been a disapointment to me too. Even simple GPS information (like speed, elevation, etc) isn't there. Sure you can dig deep into the 3d calibration to find the vss speed, but it's a headache, and, quite frankly, useless.

Posted Jul 28, 2009 · 07:05 UTC#40

I thought the system had a fuel logging feature that would calc fuel economy and let you download it. So I was just wondering (other then the cool factor) why you want to display speed, RPM, etc? I get displaying things like G-forces, boost, and other performance / tuning stuff but that seems more inline to have a DAQ system.

DiscountJungle. It really sucks, I have to find one by Friday now and pay for overnight shipping somewhere...

Posted Jul 28, 2009 · 13:50 UTC#42

I felt with the amount of money you pay that I only wanted to get this from a major company. I went with Crutchfield they had free shipping and it only took two days to get it. I also got the 5 year warranty to take care of any issues that happen.

Posted Jul 28, 2009 · 18:09 UTC#43

Ok so I ended up ordering from the other Amazon seller, audioonline, for $1469.47 including expedited shipping.

 

Wow, went from paying $1,329 to $1469... Why are the prices so different across vendors?

 

I usually would have waited until this unit hits eBay... but my car has been ripped apart for a long time now and couldn't go an additional week or two.

Well, I got my order in early last week at that "place-of-questionable-customer-service" for ~$1197 before the price went up. Just e-mailed me saying it ships tomorrow. If it fails to materialize, I'll just bite the bullet and go Crutchfield for the great service and hand-holding. But $400 is $400.

What day did you place your order on?? I placed mine Tuesday night but have yet to get any confirmation of shipping, just that the order has been "processed."

Posted Jul 29, 2009 · 12:41 UTC#46

If you use Crutchfields you can save $20 in a referral code. Just use the Referral Code: psgbs-2pjtd-k9jyc)

Posted Jul 29, 2009 · 14:50 UTC#47

The guy on Amazon, audioonline, is selling them for $1549.99 now... I was able to purchase mine for $1449.99 yesterday...

 

The prices are in great fluctuation...

Posted Jul 29, 2009 · 15:23 UTC#48

I ordered from a source in California for $1369 plus $25 shipping which is insured.

it arrives Friday.

 

I have asked him if he has more at that price and waiting to hear back.

 

If he does, I will be happy to share his information

I have a plow so I need to monitor the batterys = amps/volt gauge, could not order this when truck was built

stupid IMO F-250= work truck they should have this included in the gauge cluster

 

I pull my boat = need to watch the rpms and gearing while i do have this in the cluster the steering wheel blocks the view it would be easier to see from the nav unit.

 

hydrolic monitoring for the PTO

 

these are just to name a few, but there is def a need for these.

pioneer has a unit but from what I understand if not comp with the 110BT it would need a stand alone monitor

that is comp this makes no sense to me, other than pioneer making more coin where is one to put a second screen?

that would clutter the cab and make an install a nightmare and cost a considerable amount more.

 

does anyone know a way to make pioneers unit work with this nav unit or the X910BT?

I dont get why it would not work with a AUX input but from what I have read in wont.

 

NO cool factor here I do not by things for a "cool factor" I get things that have a function and purpose for my needs
