There has been talk of a software update for the Z110 Head Unit that will upgrade it to the Z130bt head unit that's currently out. I've applied the Z120 upgrade to my Z110 and love that. Has there been a solid date for the next update? Also I want to add traffic & I read that, this can be done with adding an additional component. What will I have to add on & does anyone know the cost?
Thanks.
Traffic tuner add-on is ND-TMC10. It's available now and usually costs around $100. Z130 update is required for it to work. I seem to be the only person who was able to pre-order the update yesterday when Pioneer had it briefly up on their website? I've commented on it and attached some screen captures to a thread in the "Hacks / Mods" section. Cost is $120. They're going to start shipping in September.
Thanks for the quick reply, one more thing if I purchase the ND-TMC10 now will that work with my current head unit [Avic z110 with the Avic Z120 update]
Nevermind just re-read your post & I will need the update in order to make it work.
Thanks...

@JasonH - I have the crappy/discontinued MSN Direct Tuner in my car. Are the plugs to the new ND-TMC10 direct plug-n-play to replace my MSN direct tuner? In other words, is it going to be a direct replacement?
Yes.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I am also thinking of upgrading my Z110BT to the 2011 maps. My problem is that my unit was already upgraded to the 2010 maps (Z120BT) when I bought it. I have no idea if it was a legitimate upgrade or a hack....would I be safe to upgrade when it becomes available? thanks!

Best guess is yes, it will be OK. But since no one has tried it yet, don't know for sure. Stay tuned.

I am a new member here and I have a Z110BT with no updates or upgrades. Does this upgrade my Z110BT to the
Z130BT without any other hardware or software?
Indeed that's what it does.
Anyone know of a promo code?
Doesn't it seem cheesy that they release this in Sept, then we know Jan or so, they'll release a new model?
They don't release anything in January.
I paid for my upgrade two days ago. The email I got from Pioneer seemed like they were going to ship it.
We got the update and upgraded my wife's 110. I went just fine and only took about 30 minutes.
I do have a question: the update came with a bluetooth upgrade (v3.11 if I'm not mistaken). She pairs her AVIC with her iPhone4 (latest version of iOS). I can't find out for sure if the bluetooth upgrade will be compatible with her phone. Can anyone shed some light on that?
I have done the upgrade from the Z120bt to Z130bt and was wondering if any has determined if this adds the Auto EQ feature found on the z130bt new. I would like to buy the mic and run the Auto EQ function but I do not see that option under EQ. Not sure if it only shows up if you plug in the mic ? Maybe someone with more knowledge could help me out if they know this.
New unit only for that feature.

Good one, Steve 
Am I missing something? Aren't these the Z120 upgrade - not Z130... It would be nice if someone would post a torrent for the Z130......
Good one, Steve
It was all I could find at the time. I don't think anyone has hacked/broken the new new upgrade yet. I have not been able to make sense out of the files yet myself on how exactly the serial number of the SD card and the HU number create the key to unlock the install.
