ust to let anyone know... I was able to get it paired to the Z2 tonight... of course, I haven't tried a phone call yet because it's 12:49am and I might piss some people off calling them, but I thought I'd let you know that boths units at least saw each other and paired.
BASTARD !!!
Grrr i hate you my phone 
btw how is it
am gonna go get the iphone tomorrow/later and test it with the Z1. Should work too though 
. The thing I'm curious about...I have the iPod hook up...i wonder if it works on the iPhone as a charger and POSSIBLY get it to work on the Z1 screen...eventhough I doubt it.
sure rub it in 
The iPhone is amazing - I love it so far.
I made a phone call this morning through the Z2 and it works good.
Only thing I can't figure out is how to transfer contacts. When I do the "get bus cards" thing from the Z2 it tell me to send them from my phone, and I can't figure out how to do that.

Don't know... I'm a bit afraid to try it, but I'm on the phone with Apple now (holding) to ask them about transferring the contacts and I'll ask them if it can hook up to the car adaptor.
My wife tried it last night with our Z1, but no luck. It can see the iPhone, says "follow the directions on your phone" but there are no direction on the phone.
Did you do anything special to get the Z2 to pair?

Make sure bluetooth is turned on on the iPhone.
It should detect the Pioneer.
Then hold the "menu" button down on the Z1 (assuming it's the same as the Z2) to open the phone menu... hit "phone settings", then "register".
On the iPhone, at that point, you should be prompted for the password. 1111 is the default.
It should then pair.
some 1 plz send me a phone
My iPhone works great with the Z1. I tried to send my contacts to the Z1 threw my MacBook Pro, but that didn't work 
Try my workaround that I found for the d3 here:

It may work with the Z series as well, third post down.
Apple iPhone $600
A years service ~$1500
Don't dropit so AppleCare $69

working on the Avic priceless 
I found that the quality of my calls increased dramatically with the iPhone and the AT&T service on my Z1 versus my old phone the razar and Tmobile. The people I call now say that they can hear me much better and they do not hear the roar of my engine each time I shift. Plus not even a slight hint of echo – no echo at all.
When receiving or making a call the phone also lets you choose between the car speakers or the phone’s ear piece (it will default to the car speakers if nothing is chosen). This is nice for those times when things are loud around you or you need to make the call more private from the people in the car with you.
During a call it will also switch to the phone’s ear piece automatically when you get out of the car – unlike the razar were you had to push a button.
When you plug in the phone and it talks about incapability and do you want to go to switch to airport mode – say no. It is compatible and we will be able to send contact information to the Z1/Z2 in future releases of the iPhone software.
Hear are some things that helped me:
1. Turn off your phone once a day (this will greatly help reduce dropped calls and quirks when surfing the net)
2. Do not leave the phone in your car during the summer heat (heat will reduce the life of the battery in your phone – heat is a killer on the long term use of a battery)
3. To extend the amount of battery time you have between charges:
A. Turn off blue tooth when not in use – I only use it when I’m in the car
B. Turn off WiFi when not in use
C. Video is the number one battery hog and second is taking pictures

now send me my iphone so i can test for my self
So. I was in amazement yesterday when i saw a 2007 Mercedes S550 with its fancy navigation bluetooth nonsense pull my contact info right from my iPhone. Just connected the iPhone over bluetooth put in the pass-code. On the mercedes you push "phone address book". It says reading device and 5 seconds later BOOM, its all there. Why cant any of the AVIC's do this please tell. The iPhone doesn't have OPP so how is this possible?

My BMW pairs fine with my Iphone and pulls the phone book as well...My sister's Lexus pairs but does not pull the contacts...
in other words....it's a shortcoming from both the Iphone and the avic.....
since most Nav units do not pull the contacts...and the crazy amount of people complaining about the lack of BT VCard push of the Iphone, it really falls into Apple's hands to release this functionality in an Iphone update....or at least that is what I'm hoping for....
as for now....I just manually typed in my favorites into my Z2, and use voice commands to dial and talk hands free...
[edit]ooppss...kinda old thread....

I have contacted Apple customer relations and requested this be included in a future update. We will have to see what the future holds on this one.
This is REALLY important because I need to figure out if I'm returning my iPhone or just getting it exchanged fro a new one.
Here it is: Has anyone had problems hearing the other end of the conversation when you are connected with your iPhone to the Z2? Specifically I here this digital "brdrdrrdrdrdrddrdrddrrdrdrdr" sound either before or after the person starts to talk which cuts out either the first half or second half of their conversation. If none of you are experiencing it, I'm going to assume I have a defective iPhone (I know it could be the Z2 or it's bluetooth unit) and get a replacement.
Mine actually sounds really clear, no buzzing or anything. Just a little too quiet. But other's have work-a-rounds to raise the volume, that I will try tonight.
Do you have a Z1? I know there is a BT update from Pioneer about echos and stuff. Also. How far away is your BT transceiver in relation to where your phone is? Or in better words, where did you install the BT adapter?
I have a Z2, and my iPhone makes that same digital sound every once in a while. Not on every call, but most so I don't think it is the phone. But I also have a loud 'pop' when I answer the call. I'm not sure what it is... any ideas?
I have the Avic Z2 with the Bluetooth option.
Works great. Everyone says it sounds like I am on a speakerphone, but I am on a speakerphone so I guess that makes sense. I set the iPhone on my center console and the bluetooth connects smoothly. If I am on the phone in the morning, walk out to the car while still talking the audio etc usually switches over to the Z2 before I hit the end of my block.
The phone book does not sync, as the iPhone does not support it. grrr. I programmed in 10 or so people that I actually call a lot so that is OK.

I think that is pretty normal...My 05 BMW's factory BT does wierd things like that too...
Until there is a set standard for BT, which is slowly getting there, it will be hard for cell manufacturers and BT manufacturers to make everything seemless...
I think the pop is the internal amp switching to whatever speaker you have set to use during calls....and the garbled sound is just that, garbled data being sent back and forth from your phone to your BT module. It's probably a lag during syncing up(if that makes sense).... I could be completely wrong.

Any new developments with this? My iPhone has worked flawlessly for months and now has started doing the "digital crapola" sound. In fact, in the past few days the regularity is increasing.
Anyone have any insight as to what is causing the BT interference?

I had the same problem and it was actually an easy fix. My Z1's BT was located just below my cup holder in my Avalanche, which is were my iPhone ended up (in the cup holder). Once it started making that horrible noise I couldn't get it to stop until I transfered the call back the the headset. Once I moved the BT unit away from the phone, no more noise.
I just got a BlackBird II from Santa and I set up the BT on that and it automatically saw all my contacts, recent calls and missed calls. Too bad the speaker is so weak that you can't use it if you're actually driving.
That is exactly where mine is. I guess I don't pay attention to it that much. I'm use to a little garble when I first initiate a call. But I also think what Macalanche is talking about it wireless RF interference. The same stuff as when you set your phone close to speakers(like PC)...In which I noticed that the Iphone seems to do alot more than other phones.
As far as the volume being too low...Do a reset on the Avic...ensure that the BT volume is as high as it'll go on both your phone and the Avic...I also turned the Avic's main volume up(just in case)....then re-pair the phone....Then your BT volume will probably be ear piercing, so you'll probably have to go back into the Avic's BT volume control and lower it your liking...
I'll have to check out the BlackBird, never seen it, cause I really don't like the Iphone

try turning off wifi on the iphone when you get in the car, it works for me.
