I found some information about the the echo on the pioneer web site and I thought it might help some of you out with this problem.

To help reduce the echo effect present in some cellular systems, try the following:

1. Place the microphone directly in front of you. If possible, place it on the steering wheel column back neat the instrument panel.

2. Lower the phone volume settings within the Pioneer unit.

3. Try an after-market microphone, some have different gains and will reduce the echo.

4. For the AVIC-Z1, set the Blue-tooth sound to only come out of the right front speaker.

5. For the DEH-P9800BT, select Echo Cancel via the Multi-control knob.

6. For the CD-BTB100, when connected to the AVH-P6800DVD or the AVH-P7800DVD, you would select Echo Cancel from the Function menu.

These steps will help reduce the echo effect to a certain level.

True, none of this is new and has been discussed before, but I think this might be the first time it's all put together in one post and as the first post in a thread. Out of all the posts here, this is hardly a bad or unwanted post. Maybe we should save the derogatory remarks for the porno spam... wait, maybe we want that too.

Yeah way to be a jerk coocho. Thansk for -YOUR- "helpful" post.

First time I see point 3 about the new aftermarket mike.
