I bought and installed the new 120 update, great and loving it! I have one issue though. Before the update, when I was talking on the phone connected to bluetooth, I could control the volume of the background music. Up, down, no problem. Now when I get a call, the volume goes down a little but I have no other volume control. So I answer and I can not turn the music down any lower. It is a problem when I am listening the music at a semi-loud level and get a call. I have to answer, tell the caller that I will call them right back, turn down the volume and then call them back. Any way to get volume control back or just have it muted when I get a call? Thanks for the help.

Well there is no way to do that on the 110 so I would really like to know how you were able to do it. Regardless, sense it can't be done on the 110 it also can't be done on the 120.

Yep you can't do that on the 110.

I can't do it on my 110 & neither can my brother on his so that's weird. I do know what you're talking about though as it has happened to me many times all I do is pause the song until I get off the call. This is when I'm using the ipod which is 98% of the time though.

There is a setting that you can enter that controls how far down the volume goes when a call is being made or received. You can also have it set to mute, which is what mine is set for.

See chapter 31, page 170 of the manual. You'll see "Touch [Mute Level]. Each touch of the [Mute Level] changes the settings as follows:

*20dB: the volume becomes 1/10th

*10dB: The volume becomes 1/3

All: The volume becomes 0

Thank for the advice. Mine was letting me control the volume, but now that I think about it, it must have been something the installer did. I bought the PAC remote kit to run the steering wheel remote and had it installed the day before I loaded the update. I made one call, and noticed that I did not have volume controls. I may go back and see what he did because it was definitely working before he installed it. I figured it was something with the update.

He also did something to the bypass, somehow came disconnected when he was installing the PAC. Had to turnaround and have him fix it. Maybe that was it.

So what did you do to adjust the volume of the music while on a call? Its simply not possible with that unit.

I think you're imagining things. The PAC unit just relays commands from the steering wheel. It doesn't do anything else.... to my knowledge.

When you upgrade the Z110BT to the Z120BT, do you have to re-register the MSN tuner?

Has anyone had any trouble, when doing the upgrade, with an MSN tuner lifetime subscription in which they got "nearly a full refund"?

What problem are you having?

I am not having any problems. I have not tried to upgrade yet.

I am asking if the upgrade process affects the msn tuner subscription. Does the msn tuner need reactivated? Has anyone who has gotten nearly all of their money back on the msn tuner lifetime subscription, ran into any problems when upgrading to the Z120BT?

Just crossing the t's and dotting the i's before I upgrade. Thanks.

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

I've noticed that problem with the alphabet tabs too. I've got an iPhone 3G with the iOS4 as well. Any ideas what to do about it?

I've also noticed that the Pandora/Pioneer iPhone app often errors with the result being a message on the iPhone and the inability to change stations on the head-unit (although music continues to play). Anyone have this experience?

I didnt think iOS4 was compatible with the 3G model only 3GS?

Its limited with the 3G but it is compatible.

I get my don't-need-it upgrade next week. Not even sure why I ordered it, hah. In any case, I'm back Thursday next week, so I'll provide people with info vs my x920bt.

I will donate bandwidth to a torrent. PM me if anyone is interested.

 

Yea you have enough band width to host the world.

 

Actually its the upload speed that counts when seeding..

 

Here's mine though:

I have an LUS fiber connection with 30 megabits/sec up and down so I can def torrent this also!!

Same here! Can't do that on z110...

When I installed this screen I also did the PAC-os4 and PAC-swips (onstar/Bose and steering wheel controls)... I also did the parking break adjustment to view videos while not in park. Could this be causing the volume control from being changed while on the phone via Bluetooth?

No. Volume cant be controlled because the unit does not support it. It has nothing to do with any add on device.

Hey vblue42 i noticed that before the 110 to 120 update I was able to play videos from my itouch via blue tooth. I have a iPod wired to my unit and an itouch. The iPod was all my music and the itouch th video. Any reason why I can not play my videos?

Hey vblue42 i noticed that before the 110 to 120 update I was able to play videos from my itouch via blue tooth.

Are you saying that you wirelessly streamed your videos from your Touch to your 110 over BT? I hope not because that is another feature not possible with the 110. Or the Touch for that matter.

yeah its impossible to stream video via BT on the iPhone/iPT.

I thought I'd seen a video where someone seemed to be streaming youtube to the head unit? Is there anyway to do this even with the wire connected?

You CAN stream youtube or other ipod/phone video to the HU when connected by the ipod cable or by generic AVout cable connected to an AV input.

Bruce

or by generic AVout cable connected to an AV input.

 

Bruce

And what "generic" cable would you be referring to?
