Growing frustration with the X - does not pair with Pioneer Navi system

[wnrussell]

To the phone from the car? Never seen that. Usually phone to car.

Hey guys,

I am having the same problem with pairing the phone. I tried contacting Pioneer, and they are telling me that they "do not guarantee support for phones that are released after the Z110BT was released." So basically my unit is a $1600 brick at the moment. I am currently waiting for a manager to call me back, but they do not offer Bluetooth only updates, and are refusing to supply me with the map updates that incorporate the Bluetooth updates.

This phone pairs with everything else under the sun, except for the Z110BT. Pioneer needs to get up and fix this thing. I'd suggest you all contact them and try to get the new software out of them. It is complete nonsense that they would refuse to offer support for a device as expensive as this (and only a year old).

Depending on how it goes with Pioneer, I am considering posting an open letter (with the customer support email chain). I'll keep you guys updated on what Pioneer says.

I know you probably don't want to hear this but it would be alot easier if you get the software update for the z110bt. Its basically a $ 200 map update with interface update to turn your z110 to a z120 and also bluetooth update which works great with the droidx. Maybe if enough people complaint they will package the bluetooth update by itself but this is a long shot, that's why i suggest paying for the update now

Droid X and pairing to pioneer Navi system

:stupid:

I have to same exact problem with my Pioneer Z110bt. Iphone, Blackberry bold, HTC Incredible all connect and play fine. I have spent like 4 hours in the past day on this. I even called Pioneer and they said it's probably the phone (I agree).

Also my brother Evo 4G won't connect either...WTF android!?

I will be switching if I can't figure this out. I did find some information that maybe HTC Incredible is using older version of bluetooth from Android 1.5/1.6, even though they are runnning 2.1. Maybe this is why both the EVO and DroidX are having problems and the Incredible is not.

Frustrated...I would rather have iPhone antenna problems Although I will concede my iPhone3G sounded horrible streaming bluetooth where my wifes Bold sounds better than CD quality.

My Navi system is also the Pioneer Z110bt. It 'connects' but is unable to do anything else.

Question ? are these aftermarket Navi systems of factory installed??

My issue is I have a 2011 GMC Terain on order and was looking forward to pairing my X with its Pioneer 8 speaker Navi/ music package via bluetooth ? This mean I am going to have issues ??

aftermarket ^^

 

[macdaddy1]

hmm perhaps ill be okay then

 

[FireDroid]

You should be ok, My DX pairs and transfered phone book in my F150 with Sync. Streamimg pandora or movies over BT works great!!

You can't expect companies to constantly update their product for every new phone that comes out especially a year later.

Help Needed Getting my Droid X to Work with Z110 BT

I just made the switch from an iPhone to a new Droid X running Android 2.1 (can't wait for 2.2!) I have been able to pair and connect the Droid X with the z110 (the Droid X will show ""Connected to phone audio" under the Bluetooth Devices Pioneer Navi), but I still can't do anything with it (cannot make or receive calls, no contact transfer, etc). I've applied the firmware upgrade from Pioneer successfully, but it did not seem to help out at all.

I have noticed that when I go to the Bluetooth Settings on the z110 bt and select "Handsfree and Audio", the z110 immediately says the operation is not available.

Can anyone provide some step-by-step instructions to help me get this working?

Droid X with Froyo (2.2) pairs to head unit

So, I just updated to Froyo last night and guess what?!? I can now play Pandora over bluetooth to my Pioneer Avic Z110bt!

Sound quality: This is still suspect with Pandora. It still sounds screwed up a little, playing files from the music app over bluetooth sound better than Pandora. I found some threads about stagefright being a problem with Pandora, so I went through the whole rooting and trying to disable it in the Build.prop. But it seems its already disabled (set to FALSE)!

In addition to other issues I have reported, I found to my dismay that my X refuses to pair with my car navigation system. I have had absolutely no problem pairing my iPhone 4, Droid Incredible, and my wife's Droid Eris to the same system.

The phone seems to pair and asks whether I will allow the navi system to access my phone book, and then everything hangs once I approve the request.

If I can't fix this problem by today then my phone is making its way back to the Verizon

are you entering the pairing code? With the X you have to do this on your car navigation system or else no pair. It is a security feature. Shame on MOTO for making your **** secure......


I find it funny that most of the problems are USER error......

Droid X to Z110BT Audio Streaming

So has ANYONE successfully streamed audio from the X to a Z110BT?

 

[MyNewDroidX]

Yes I have, but only with 2.2. I stream pandora and android music app. Only problem is pandora sounds like crap. my wifes blackberry sounds much better

 

[spider210]

My droid x pairs fine but I have a problem when a call comes through if I have it paired only phone it works perfect and if its only paired with audio it works fine but running both I have a problem.

I know it sounds shady but download your map updates online over at avic411.com and burn them and get new updates and better Bluetooth function.

Sorry in advanced if suggesting this is not allowed

Solved: Blue Tooth Pairing Sprint Evo 4G with Pioneer AVIC Z120 BT AVIC-Z120BT

It took me 4 hours of frustration to figure this out so I am hoping in hopes that this helps someone else.

You must follow these steps in this EXACT order.

0. Start with BlueTooth (BT) "off", on EVO
1. Go to BT Audio on Pioneer (left side of Audio screen)
2. Turn on BT on EVO (Click checkbox in Bluetooth screen) (assumes you have already paired EVO and Pioneer)
3. Touch "Connect" on Pioneer (bottom right of screen)
4. Touch your Paired Pioneer listed at bottom of BT screen on EVO

Should work.

So I got this done. Now, how do I stream PANDORA from my sprint evo once its already connected to my pioneer?! I can press SHARE on my evo but then it comes up with my contacts, not something like "bluetooth audio" or anything...

thanks
