I still have an echo problem with my bluetooth, I have tried all kinds of settings and if I turn it down till the echo is gone I cant hear.
I want to try an external dedicated speaker and mount it near my left ear,
I drive a two seater with a loud exhaust.
What type of plug do I need to use to hook it up to the rear of the unit?
Any sugestions on speaker?
Pioneer has one on the web site but has limited info amd no pic.

You need to read your manuals carefully. That external speaker may be for use with the 5.1 processor only since that won't allow the cutout to the front speakers when being used. (as I understand it) I'm not sure how it will function without the 5.1 processor.

Pioneer may be using a weird sized plug for their mic and speaker according to threads here. If I were you, I wouldn't mess around with anything other than the one offered for the Z1 until you know for sure what they're using. One guy fried his Z1 using the wrong plug!

Where do you have your mic located?

I just spoke to pioneer service, the external guide speaker can only be used with the 5.1 set up. If you just plug it in it won't do anything.
Thanks for the heads up.



I have the mic located in the dr. sunvisor facing the pass side of the car.
I have the speaker set so the voice only comes out the dr. side.
This is the best I have been able to get it but I still find it poor.
Everyone I try to talk to complains about the echo, If i turn the volume down till the echo is gone I cant hear them.
My car is a two seater so there are no rear speakers.
Anyone have any ideas I can try?
Should I try a diffrent phone?
I really want this feature to work so I'll try anything.
