Yeah, there are a few floating around on here.

It comes with an installation manual, have you ever wired a custom computer? It's not much different, I bet you could do it yourself. :cool:

i dont have the know how or patients the take out the old one and put the new one in. Plus i dont have any tools to do it and i also dont have all the parts necessary to put it in.

I felt the same way when I got my z120 to replace my z1 . i didnt have the tools or patience for it either..Best Buy installed my new unit and did a fanastic job .. Cost was roughly $200 just for the nav. if you've got additional accessories, like xm/sirus tuner, and iPod, those are extra. But, sometimes they can bundle the whole install for 1 price if you get a tech that will work with ya.

 

Good luck - enjoy the new unit

yeah im going to this car audio place they are much more specialized and better than bestbuy. I had bestbuy do my first one but now i prefer these car audio stores

I just got mine in. I installed it yesterday and everything is good EXCEPT the damn mic. I have tried everything to get it to work.

 

I have tried the mic on other devices and it works fine but when I plug it into the head unit it does not hear do anything.

 

 

Update: I've called Amazon and they are overnighting me a replacement unit for free

So you've got your new Z130 installed now and you are having issues with the bluetooth quality?

 

If so then this confirms my fear.... That Pioneer didn't address any of the BT issues. :angry:

Just to be clear, it is not BT quality that is the problem. It is the external mic and/or the HU that has quality problems. BT works just fine as far as passing audio and data between the HU and a BT device.

 

Of course, you notice it most of the time when callers can't hear you clearly. Or you get poor voice recognition with VR commands.

I can confirm that the Z130 gets new bluetooth firmware. 3.22 vs 3.11 on the Z120

Sadly yes. It is about as frustrating as can be

The pairing issues seem to be fixed as my Blackberry and iphone have no problems pairing and sending audio.

I just had my 130 installed today. There are many subtle differences between it and the 120. I didn't think that I would like the AHA service but I must say that so far I like it. The pandora is different in that you dont need the pandora pioneer app just the pandora native IPhone app. The SD card is inserted in the raised screen instead of the unit itself. The button on teh bottom of the screen are actually raised. There is also a setting where you can look out the back camera all of the time. it will split the screen with half map half back up camera. I have not had a chance to use the live traffic as of yet. It did come up and list several palces that construction was taking place.

Could you let us all know about the handsfree phone quality? That is what so many ppl are waiting to see if Pioneer fixed. Thanks.

My z130bt should be here in a couple days. Got it for $999.99 shipped, from PacificStereo.com. They are an authorized dealer, and they matched the price from woofersetc.com

I'll get it installed and let ya know how it works with my iphone 4.

I got mine for 925.00 and im having it installed this week Im waiting for some other things to come in

Posted Apr 04, 2011 · 01:15 UTC#17

I got mine for $800.00 Installed last week Monday. Loving it so far, everything works great. Wasn't difficult to install as I had a AVH-P3200DVD previously installed.

You guys gotta tell us where you are getting these prices. Seriously, I'd appreciate it, will place an order once it's been clarified that the handsfree has been fixed. Thanks!

A friend of mine ordered it for me through his business and I installed it myself. I can give you a dealers number that can probably get it cheap. Enfig Car Stereo 201-490-5015.

Posted Apr 05, 2011 · 12:20 UTC#21

The quality is good, I don't have a problem hearing the caller and they don't have a problem hearing me as I'm driving either.

Posted Apr 06, 2011 · 00:27 UTC#23

Very good news...

Posted Apr 06, 2011 · 01:14 UTC#24

Do any of you have any issues with video quality? Do you see any artifacts or scrolling lines?

I called them, they are at $1000 for the unit. Pretty much standard pricing.
