What is the load time using the 120GB ipod ?

[PioneerMobile]

The in-dash receiver should recognize your iPod almost instantly and you will have touch screen access to your content immediately.

Question: do you absolutely have to have a proprietary iPod cable from Pioneer, or the white Apple USB cable that came with my iPod will work as well? Thanks!

[PioneerMobile]

To get full playback capabilities (audio and video), you will need the Pioneer cable.

it seems to be ok but the pioneer should of had a better display protocol

when you touch the iphone/ipod icon on the pioneer deck it should of bin an extension of the iphone/ipod touch screen so you can access more features .the display on the pioneer touch screen would then be the iphone/ipod secoundary screen.just an idea for pioneer .

i have a AVIC-Z2 Can you Play Vidoes With The Ipod?

[SpraggaBenz]

With the ipod cable connected to the AVIC-Z110BT, do you sacrifice the usb connection?? i.e. I would generally want a usb drive connected but once and a while use my iphone. I've been searching for an answer to this question but can't find one.

can i play my creative zen vision mp3 over the avic u31obt? if so, how?

Ive noticed that all of the 7 inch variations of the AVH models have the ability to be connected from the back (clearly) however, everytime I see a video with one of the 5.8 inch screen versions such as the p3100... or p3200... they ALWAYS have the cords hanging out of the front. Tacky. Is that necessary or just plain lazy and cheap?

[anton3773]

What if I don't want it to always charge my battery? Is there an option that disables charging?

I like to preserve the life of my battery by having it full and then using it without charging interruption until it dies.

Please disregard my previous post... I had a member from Avic411 educate me on what exactly the link options do....

I stand corrected, and as I've used it for the past few days, I've come to understand what a awesome feature the link buttons are...
