Ok, stupid newbie question: I bought my Z110BT earlier this year. Shouldn't this upgrade be complimentary from Pioneer since it's essentially a "maps upgrade, plus" ? Most nav system manufacturers provide complimentary map updates for the first year.

 

Except it's a whole ui upgrade, too. The maps aren't offered separately. Thank Pioneer for that.

is it me, or am I the only one who hates the look of the new interface

Had a hard time admitting it, but I agree.

 

Any the reason I bought the upgrade was the PandoraLink, which apparently I did not understand you have to plug your phone in and open an app for it to work. Not like the PREVIOUS Pandora Bluetooth that just linked up as soon as you entered the car. WHY would they change it from an automatic bluetooth link, to a manual, hard connection with the necessity of opening an app that apparently can't multitask like every other app.

 

Call me a bit disappointed... Eyeballing Kenwood's at this point...

You can still do Pandora over BT audio.

I know that function is still there but when they promo'd PandoraLink, I expected it to be a step forward. Not back. I don't want to plug my phone in every time get in the car. That's why I thought Pandoralink would be cool. Guess not. New 'gui'. Same half-assed Pioneer story.

The lack of support of AVRCP is an issue spawned from Apple...NOT Pioneer...

AVCRP is back with iOS 4.1, fyi. Talked about a lot on Macrumors, and here:

Isn't it Beta? as in not available for the general public?????

 

Correct, but likely available to the public the 1st September when Apple gives their media event (new iPods etc). I expect we'll see 4.1 next week, or soon thereafter.

Pardon my ignorance, but I don't know what AVRCP is.

AVRCP - Audio/Video Remote Control Profile.

 

It's a feature of bluetooth.

Ok, but as far as I can tell, PandoraLink has nothing to do with Bluetooth, right? Which is my point. The nice apart of Pandora as it was before, just with Bluetooth Audio, was no plugging in. Get in the car, open the Pandora app... you're done.

Posted Aug 28, 2010 · 04:35 UTC#413

Yes that is correct but as I mentioned the other day, you can still use Pandora over BT on the unit. And the inclusion of AVRCP in iOS4 will only affect the iPod app, not radio apps.

I just upgraded 110BT > 120BT and I noticed the eco-graph is not working. I just see an "X" on that eco-graph. Did the eco graph, eco routing, function works for you guys?

Works for me. Had to turn it "on" on the Navi Setting View area. Personally it annoyed the hell out of me though. Pointless feature. Should have spent a lot more time on developing the navi system and a lot less time on the Eco-BS.

Posted Sep 21, 2010 · 03:45 UTC#416

Its works for me now. I just had to clear out the eco settings, drive for several miles, park, turn off navi and on again, do that a few time and it finally picked it up. Just another feature to tell us to drive slower LOL. BT , VR, and music works great but I still see no changes on the Navi :? I thought we are paying for a navi :roll: ?
