hey guys i figured out how to use the "prices right wheel" thing. Basically my is set to shuffle so each time is selects the next song it is in a random order. To quickly change this on the top left on the screen next to the sliding av sources, its two arrows or easier got to pg 120 in manual and its NUMBER 1. hit that a few times and it will work. Haven't figured out how to keep this setting since everytime i go back to ipod i have to do it again
So is anyone else having the problem of searching by genre?
Just found another issue. When I bring up a list (either artists, albums or songs) I can flick the actual names to scroll at the two speeds that were described in the 120 preview video. I can also flick through the alphabet tabs on the left. But when I try to select one of these alphabet tabs, nothing happens.
I only have one iPod (an iTouch 64 running their new OS4) so I don't have any way to test whether these issues are across all iPods or only the iTouch.
I have again spoken with customer service and got nowhere.
So can anyone here share what they experience with these two functions?
Thanks
Guys if you have what you believe is an issue with the new upgrade, calling Pioneer and expecting them to take it seriously is not going to work. What you have to do is call them and tell them you have an issue and you would like to have it investigated by them as a software issue and that you would like a case number. This insures that they document the issue. They probably still wont investigate it but they will have it on file so when they start getting other calls they will have a history of the reported problems. Once they begin getting multiple reports with case numbers, they will likely investigate it as an issue. Otherwise the clown you get on the phone is just going to tell you he hasn't heard of the problem and attempt to get you of the phone. Also it is a good idea to post your case numbers on here so you can refer to the case numbers from other users that you know have been reported about the same issue. Just be sure if you report a case number on here that it pertains to exactly the same issue.
For anyone that has received your update; did you also receive an operations manual for the upgrade? I received the media number card and a yellow leaflet. The yellow leaflet makes reference to the Operations Manual Addendum, but i have nothing and I can't find anything on the Pioneer web.... any ideas?its on pioneer's site dude http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... 20BT?tab=D
just download it
Dude, I guess one of us can't read.. You'll notice I was referencing the manual for the UPGRADE, not the unit itself. Your link takes me to the owner's manual for the 120.
Thanks for trying...
I just installed without, guess it wasn't that big of a deal.
For the BT update there is no need to install the one on the first card as previously recommended.
You're advising this eventhough the instructions specifically state to perform update on disk #1 BEFORE the update on disk #2????
The AVIC-220U is a different model. Its an add-on navigation for people that bought screens without nav built-in. Don't think it'll work for the Z110
My update just arrived, and I am creating backup copies of both SD cards. After I created my install password, I got this on the pioneer password create page:
AVIC-220U Points of Interest Download Information
Step 1
Download the "Optional POI data for 2010" file by clicking here (http://www.winzip.com (purchase may be required).
Step 2
Open the file and copy the "NDB" folder and "CARDINFO.CRF" file onto the root of the SD Card.
*Note: Ensure this file is located on the top layer of the SD Card.
Make sure that the SD Card follows these requirements: - Greater then 512MB.
I have not seen anyone mention this additional update... Just FYI. Maybe you can update the POI without the map update??
I am having a problem with my sd video. They are not being displayed on my rear monitor. If I play a DVD it will display. Any suggestion?

I'm pretty sure SD video will not play on rear monitors. Only DVD/Divx, iPod and AV2 will play on the rear monitors.
Just burn your videos to a DVD, they will work, and DVD can handle a higher bandwidth, so you can play higher quality videos. There are a handful of threads that address what can and cannot be played in the rear seats, and the limitations of the various codecs and source (DVD vs iPod vs SD).
The reason I put them on an SD card was to not carry so many dvd's. So can I put all my m4v on a DVD and they would play on my rear monitor?
So, after everyone has done the upgrade, is it worth it? From the responses I have read in the last few days, it doesn't seem like it is...
Opinions, please.
Thanks!
I think its worth it. I enjoy the Pandora link and the Music Sphere. Maps are now correct in my area. Aside from a glitch with the XM scrolling, which is now resolved, I am happy with it.
Hi, I´m from Brazil and just got an Z110BT working fine (no GPS Maps). I would like to buy Z120 upgrade but I don´t know how, Pioneer does not ship to my country. Does anybody pls give a suggestion or help to obtain this upgrades?
oi! your going to have to have somebody to order it for you and then mail it to brazil. i know its frustrating when your rio and want to order shit from other countries but it is what it is.
So... No torrents for this one as of yet?
...And will that even be possible or should I just resign my self to paying the 230?
Back from vacation and I got to tell you the z110bt sucksssssssss big time with the old update. Can you beleive that I was going on 75 south and it was telling to exit out and then once I exit told me to get back on on 75 south again. This happen to me like 3 times I was like WTF, so I stated using my droid for directions. Very dissapointing!!!
Hopefully they fix this problem if it continues the same is not really worth updating.
Well I haven't recieved any messages or info on who is going to send me the image of the upgrade. How i'm suppost to crack it without having the image???
Who ever is willling to share let me know.
i can also crack the update as well if someone can upload the image??
I am sure this is an I.D.10.T question, but I was playing with the upgraded unit and turned on the Eco Graph. I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn it back off. I am sure it's very simple, but I must be missing something. Thanks for helping the helpless!!!

As I recall from my x920bt, it's under Map Views in settings, - where you pick 2D, 3D etc. It's in that menu, for some odd reason.

So it's not a quick on and off button on the screen somewhere? Seems odd, but I will look for that setting. Thanks!!!

No, switching views of any sort is not a quick switch, because Pioneer has the least user-friendly software, ever. It's truly no wonder people started to hate their navigation units. Their current hardware is quite good (in relation to the F700/900 X710/X910 crap), but their software leaves so much to be desired. Oh well... *sigh*
Ok, I have a dumb question. I inserted SD card #1 into my MBP, and when I hit "get info", it says the capacity is 7.8GB (it's an 8GB card, so that's ok), and it supposedly has 3.9GB Free space on it.
I then downloaded the "Optional POI Data for 2010" as directed here: https://www.pioneernavigationupdate.com ... assword.do
Those files total about 813mb, so I had PLENTY of free space on SD Card #1. However, it appears locked, as if I cannot add anything else to it. Is that true? I need to have a different SD card to do this, even with all of that space left over on SD card number 1? I didn't see anything on Pioneer's website saying one way or the other - to use on of their cards, or a different card.

What was the XM scrolling problem and how did you resolve it? I seem to recall reading something about XM scrolling in this 20-page thread, but my apologies for not having time at work to sift through them.
For some reason, when I updated my Z110 to the Z120, the scrolling XM wheel did not activate. So on my system it was just a static picture and I could not scroll or select one of my presets. I called Pioneer and they suggested I reset my XM receiver, so I did that on Saturday morning and then everything worked as planned. So basically any problems related to the XM screen was resolved by resetting the receiver on the XM module.
I'm taking one for the team. I ordered the update. Feel free to PM me if you need info etc.

The POI data is not for the Z110bt or Z120bt. It's for the U220 navigation add-on. It won't work with the Z's as it is not needed.
Excellent, thank you!
