Please post your feedback on the new units as well as what you would like to see fixed/added/changed.
I'll be discussing the results of this topic with Pioneer.

This one from VBLUE42 is a big one, "Ok I've done some reading about the ND-TMC10 traffic tuner that will be optional for the 930 and it is stated several times that this tuner will be "included" with the Z130. So if this is not a typo, it indicates that it is still an external add on but is included with the unit. If this is the case then this should be the 110/120/920 owners traffic solution once you upgrade to the 130/930 software. Jason, is there anyway you can confirm this with anyone from Pioneer?"
If you update your unit and buy the traffic receiver, the traffic will work.
ADMIN EDIT: This is incorrect. See the details a few posts down.
Can let me know if the pioneer Avic-X930BT supports duel zone. So my daughter can watch a DVD in the back and i can listen to the radio or ipod in the front.
Thanks

I assume this comes from a very reliable source so this is good news. Thank you.
Confirmed: No traffic tuner upgrade for older units. There is new hardware in the Z130 and X930 that allows for the tuner. This comes from the AVIC engineers.
- Be able to scrub seek with your finger music tracks and videos
No touchscreen audio/video scrubbing in the new software.

So who is this clown with this statement?

Woah, that's not good.
Yeah, wise move! ![]()
For us canadians:
How will your new features draw in customers north of the border when pandora is not even offered. Will aha be offered in canada?
One more question:
Whats changes and upgrades to the navi system can we expect?
Whats changes and upgrades to the navi system can we expect?
From the looks of it absolutely nothing. We will see a paid map upgrade that will include an upgrade to the currant unit but that is about it.
What about android phones
No Android support as detailed in other threads I have contributed to. There are too many limitations in other phones to allow the unit to support them in the same manner as the iPhone.

This is incorrect. I am one of the Pioneer engineers and I can tell you the traffic works through an external add on which is compatible with model year 11 software. The traffic connector is a 6 pin harness that connects to the 6 pin plug to the left of the main power supply. After you update the unit and purchase the traffic receiver you will be able to receive traffic on model year 10 units. I have personally tested this on the Avic Z 120bt.
So who is this clown with this statement?
X, is that you?.... HEEEEEEEYYYYYYY,
how the hell have you been bro, i hired two new installers with engineering degrees, one of them you went to school with, Rob, he seems to be pretty good, so now i got them and miller compeating with each other, to see who is the better installer/engineer
he works as an engineer for pioneer, and does testing on there systems, and was one of my installers while he was going through school.
jason, you may want to dounle check with your engineer again, because he has it working in his personal car right now
I am checking this out and may be in personal contact with this person.
Just to add more confirmation that the new TMC traffic unit IS compatible with our devices, here is the word straight from Pioneer's Facebook guys. Now I don't know if they are engineers but they are certainly qualified to say what their products will and will not due. Based on this and the pioneer engineers who are using this right now I think it is a sure bet this will be backwards compatible. I am very pleased that Pioneer took care to ensure this.

Ha...you got it in writing! Hold them to this, baby!
Alright, looks like I'm going to have to get this double checked. Standby.

BTW, Jason you are doing a great job of covering this! I'm actually kind of envious that I didnt get to go out there this year. Thanks for keeping us in the loop like you are doing. It is greatly appreciated.

So there you have it folks. The new TMC traffic option will in fact work on 110/120/920 units once you purchase the 130/930 map upgrade that will be released this summer. Yay!!!
Oh and BTW X, sorry for calling you a clown. ![]()
