Does the Z2 firmware update fix the bluetooth echo?

Z2s already had the bluetooth fix from the factory

I guess it didn't solve the echo problem, because my brand new Z2 has lots of echo on bluetooth. It annoys the crap out of the person on the other side, that I just don't use it anymore.

Yep, it wasn't a total fix. Try different mic locations and having the sound only coming out of one side or the other

Try turning down the voice volume. This should solve the issue

How can I reduce the "echo" effect on the Bluetooth?

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. It may not be possible to remove the echo effect with some phones. If the problem continues, please try multiple phones. For additional assistance, please contact our Product Support at 1-800-421-1404

How do you lower the phone volume on the Z2, I haven't been able to figure it out.

Pioneer tech told me that when you pair the phone to your unit,do it with the volume on your phone all the way down, I fixed a customers by doing this.

hope it works for some of you.
