Pioneer AVIC Z140BH Touchscreen Navigation Receiver
After a week of researching the best GPS/DVD combo drives I bought this unit. I had a DVD/GPS system in my car before this unit and it was garbage.
First of the picture is very clear even on sunny days the screen still looks good WVGA display. I had mine bypassed so i can played music dvds while i drive. The gps fuctions well. I most use my iphone on it. Sound quality is amazing. It has truly delivered crisp clean sound and has a built in digital equalizer. I was going to purchase the Kenwood version of this but i found that this unit has a fast interface, meaning you hit a button on a screen and stuf happens immediatley like an iphone theres virtually no lag. Boot time is reasonable id say 15 sec for the screen but if you had music playing id say the musci on in 10 sec or so... You can also choose what color the LEDs are for the system. my car has orange leds on the odometer and main dash so this unit matches like its a factory install. theres more apps like pandora some few others that can be used on this unit. has call feature. very clear phone calls through my iphone. This thing has all the features of the popular appRadio but more. but the sheer speed of the interface and picture quality is what really sold me.. the unit is not pixelated at all. looks even better at dusk without all that sunlight glare. please note you must buy that iphone dock cord to get the full use of this unit if you have an iphone/ipod etc its like $30 on amazon
This was an upgrade from an old AVIC-Z2 I've had since 2007. I'm very happy with the seemless integration with my iPhone 4. Audio sounds excellent, contacts from my phone show on screen (old unit couldn't do that), screen brightness is better and much easier to see in daylight. Nice blutooth integration with Pandora.. Aha radio is ok. The iPod cable and interface makes it easier to search and play a song from thousands of selections. So many cool features... Oh, and the $905 pricetag on Amazon was way better than the $1499 tag from Pioneer! I'm very happy with it!

I ordered this product for my 2012 WRX and it fit... my install guy was able to shimmy up a boarder filler that fills the bit of a gap space between this unit and the sides.. looks seamless though so its all good. This product is responsive and does everything it claims to do very well. I hardly use the voice command function, but from what I've tried it works 4/5 of the time. You gotta get this navi bypassed though or else its useless. overall a great product.
BalasHapusI was replacing a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 and it is the same overall radio but I can tell it does a lot more. I haven't learned all the controls yet but I love the Bluetooth streaming of Pandora and other phone features. The map operation is different and I haven't mastered this one yet but so far, it seems a little less 'friendly' to me. I like it because the screen is big enough for me to see the map relatively easily.
BalasHapusThis one was better than expected, works with the iPhone 4 really well.
BalasHapusIt appears that it will even work well android based phones.
Hightly reccomend it.
Installed this unit in my 2005 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. Far superior to my stock stereo! Love the bluetooth capabilities!
BalasHapusI installed this in my 2011 Tacoma with no issues. This receiver is more than you could ever need in a car. Pioneer has done it again.....
