Microsoft offered free upgrades to Windows 7 ONLY because they are partnered with manufactures who would have taken a hit in PC sales from people waiting for the new OS.

 

Microsoft DOES NOT make a habit of giving their software away, NOR SHOULD PIONEER.

 

Why do you think Pioneer was offering a $200 dollar rebate on their head unit . . . and now the upgrade price is $200. Doesn't take a rocket scientist people . . . they knew that word of the Z120 would get out, but they didn't want to take a hit in sales on the Z110.

 

We demand all these upgrades/modifications and then expect Pioneer to just give it to us free? Seriously?

 

IMO Pioneer did us a solid by not leaving us to rot on an old head unit. They breathed new life in the Z110 by providing a relatively cheap upgrade path to the Z120. They could have done like most other corporations and forced us to purchase a new HU for $1300+, but they did not.

 

I do agree it would be nice to purchase the upgrade the GUI software w/out having to purchase the maps (maps are decent for my area). But for what I am getting and for the due diligence that Pioneer has shown I am giving two thumbs up - Keep up the good work!

Many updates an SP are free, IE has always been free. I'm just saying they have alot of free software, most are UPDATES and or FEATURE ADDITIONS/ENHANCEMENTS. Just sayin'

Why would you want to convert your $1799 unit to a $1599 unit and had to pay for it?

Looks like Pioneer set me up for that $200 rebate so I could buy this update.

Do you guys know if Pioneer lower the price for past updates? I don't know if I should buy it right now or wait a bit for that update price to drop...

The price likely wont drop.

I hope one of you brave souls will post a demo vid to outline what's been updated

There is already demo vids of the 120 on this forum. Whats been updated has been posted on this forum for months.

VBLUE…curiosity question for you …. You seem to be very knowledgeable when it comes to computer science related issues… was wondering if you have some sort of degree in the field.

Oh, also I tried posting a question about a wiring harness in a different section of this forum. I have a 04 Mustang with an aftermarket Pioneer single din unit. Was wondering if I can use that wiring harness or if I need to purchase a new one…and if so … what would you recommend? Furthermore, I have an XM tuner/receiver thing or whatever it’s called, and I wanted to know if I can use that or do I need to purchase a new one (Avic-X920BT)

Thanks,

I really want this upgrade strictly for the updated map. I haven't had any problems with the nav for my 110, but lately it's been leading me to vacant lots, dead ends and locations that are at least a mile away from my destination. I tried to take a friend to the range rover dealer last weekend and were close, but still about a mile or 2 away. He then proceeded to whip out his droid and embarass me lol.

What I want to know is how does his smatphone gps show up my 110? I have msn direct, so shouldn't I always be able to update my maps with ease? Tom Tom barely charges you $60 for the year to upgrade your maps and garmin charges you $119. They really should have had a seperate strictly maps upgrade that I'm sure would cost way less. "I" simply don't need all that other stuff.

I just heard that we are expecting to ship toward the end of the week.

Since they were expected in yesterday, it was not mentioned because it

would have simply followed normal shipping procedures within the expected

time frame. Once again, we apologize for the delay.

Have a great day,

Yup I just called them and get pretty much the same answer. They are expecting them anyday now and expecting to get them shipped out by the end of the week. Now the wait begins... Just wish I had known about this before I payed extra for expedited shipping...

Well I live in OC so its only one day but if you're across the country your overnight shipping should still be effective.

cool if it finally got there than thursday would be the latest it would ship and should have it by friday!

NO SHIT!!! I still don't know if Im going to get one on the 24th.

people are getting out of hand with the iPhone thing nowadays, it just ridiculous.

I'm considering the new one because its thinner and better battery life i just can't stand att

people are getting out of hand with the iPhone thing nowadays, it just ridiculous.

Yes, it is. The fact that I am going to be leaving my house at 2:30am to make sure I am at the Apple Store 88 miles from my house by 4am just to be sure to get my hands on one is ridiculous. But damn its fun.

Somehow managed to purchase two online today.... especially considering my patience...ughhh...wait...<---patience isn't even in my vocabulary.....

But I did manage to order one via ATT and one Via Apple today...

Just wait till the 24th, when everyone is trying to activate their new phones....

i saw i was able to do the same thing. I wonder if ATT will cancel one of the orders?

But I did manage to order one via ATT and one Via Apple today...:

Are you doing store pickup?

Nope...

I have an OCD'ish issue with lines....

Must have been from my time in the service....

I refuse to wait in a line for anything...LOL

LOL...how did this thread becomes the iphone 4 thread .

I will probably get the 120BT update sooner or later and maybe record a review video about it. I already made video on my 110BT showing music videos. I hope the new update will be more compatible with SD video formats. We'll see...

Why would you care about the SD interface?

As far as I can tell....it's only good for FW updates...

It will play media just not very well.
