Hi Christian...I found this picture on the pioneer UK site

Looks good to me.
Good luck with finding what you want

That AVIC-Z1 really looks the dogs. Loads of features and very user friendly. Wish I'd gone for that instead of the factory Sat Nav now

Tried the Panasonic UK site and it is not listed there yet - currently only in USA ?

What a noob - I meant the Pioneer UK site of course

Hi Cass - well they both begin with P which is enough to confuse half the population.

Northern half anyway

Tired and emotional Spurs fan tonight - that's my excuse anyway

Seriously though - that Pioneer kit really is something else.

I was looking on the net for some pics and found a thread on the VW Vortex forum, however the pics were no longer there, so I emailed the guy whos in the states and he sent me the following reply:

I have had the system for about half a year now and I love it. The only problem I have is the bluetooth system. It has pretty bad reception and I always end up just picking up the phone. I am hoping they come out with an updated version sometime soon. So If you do decide to go with the Z1, dont get the Bluetooth, wait a few months and hopefully something will come. Also, check out www.avic411.com. Go to the Z1 forums and you will find a lot of great information. Good Luck!

looks like the install is in a Mk4 Golf, but still cool. shame about the bluetooth phone connection, as I have a Parrot system which works perfectly, so I'm not paying Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£2000 for a crap phone set up!

Hi Doc - thanks for the reply. I have sent an email to your yahoo address to check fitting prices for me to pass my new baby to you for the fitting and supply if that is possible.

Nothing yet - please re-post

HI FELLAS, I KEEP READING ON THE SITE THAT SOME OF YOU ARE STILL MENTIONING THE ipod CONNECTION IN THE ARM REST ON YOUR NEW CARS. I DONT KNOW IF IT IS ALL GTI'S BUT MY EDITION 30, DUE IN 1/3/2007

WAS HAVING THIS FITTED. I WAS ADVISED BY MY DEALER LAST YEAR THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ipod CONNECTION FOR UK CARS

. I HAVE SORTED MINE WITH AN INDEPENDENT AUDIO MAN. IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR A CAR WITH THIS CONNECTION YOU NEED TO SEE YOUR DEALER, OTHERWISE YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN IT DOES ARRIVE. I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER PAGES OF THE SITE MIND IT IS GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY

I have a 56 plate GTi, with ipod connection, could you please let us know what the problem is on this thread?

I called my dealer about this who said the problem is only with the USB connection. Ipod connection is fine and still available. Thats for the GTi, shouldn't of thought it differs for the Ed 30.

MrTibbs - you mentioned elsewhere that you have 'loaded up your Zen'. Assuming you are referring to the Creative Zen, then it seems logical to assume that this does not run through the ipod dock...

TagnuT · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 January 2007, 21:04 »

In the new brochure & options list the USB dock in the armrest has been removed. The I-pod dock is still there. I spoke to the dealer today and he confirmed the above. (However they didn't know about the original problem until after Mr Tibbs had informed me!) The sales manager said that he had tried three different MP3 players and could only get pen/flash drives to work in the carsequiped with the USB connection.
So two questions:-

So.. in theory you can still plug in an I-pod into the USB socket if you used an I-pod usb cable?

Does the I-pod list the track names?

He also gave me the good news that my new car will be built next week. Build week 4?
