The display of this unit is crystal clear when navigating through the menus, or watching your favorite movie. Producing 22 watts RMS with a 4 volt signal, the quality of sound is phenomenal when powering speakers with the built-in amplifier, or when using RCA connections to send the signal to external amplifiers. Adjust the button lighting to match your vehicles interior with the featured 32,000+ variable color display. The search functionality has drastically improved over previous models, offering ABC search with Dual-Speed scroll for list searches. Monitor your vehicles gas consumption and impact on the environment using the ECO driving function. Voice commands are a must for such a premium unit, and don't worry this stereo does not lack it. The Z130BT will even display artist and song information when available when playing CD's, MP3's or the AM/FM radio.Expandability Options

Best Deck Out There!!
-After looking at a few competitors such as the INA-W900 Alpine I eventually came to buy the Pioneer. I liked the Alpines look more than the Pioneer but I would rather have buttons like the Pioneers, these probably wont break seeing as they are built in. The gloss black also looks very sleek, when compared to the gray of the alpine.
-The HD radio tuner makes a big difference. Forget the background noise from normal radio stations; with the HD radio tuner you wont hear that at all. The sound is nearly as good as a CD, and speaking of CD use, that is very good as well. Although not all CDs will show album information such as song name and album artist.
-The video playback is also very good, I have had a few Double DINs before this and this is my best unit so far. It's also blown me away with the resolution and colors of the screen. You can also bring up the controls of the deck while the video is playing which does not stop the video so that is nice to not have to start up the video again.
-I also have this deck hooked up with the USB going into the glovebox. The controls for the iPod are easy to use and understand. The only thing is though, the deck will upon startup re-create a voice recognition library of your iPods songs, and until that is done you cannot do anything but go to the next song or go to the last song, you cannot search for a different song until it is updated. This is somewhat annoying as it happens every time the unit is turned on. Sometimes it takes up to 5 minutes before the VR is updated.
-The GPS is also very easy to use if you know the full address. It looks great when it is running and you can change the view of the GPS to several different orientations. Also when you type in a destination the deck will give you several different routes to get there as well as what time you will get there.
-I have two amplifiers and a back up camera hooked up to this unit as well. The operation of the back up camera is great. The controls on the deck also work very well with controlling the e.q. levels and hi/lo pass filters of the external amplifiers.
-Probably the only things I do not like about this deck is that voice recognition does not always seem to work. The Bluetooth during phone calls is great and the people on the other end of the call always say they can hear me clearly, I have my mic right above my rearview mirror. The voice recognition thought like I said is sketchy at best. Many times when you ask the deck to "play artist ____" the deck will say it did not understand. Keep in mind this does not always happen, but I don't really use the voice controls a lot either. Also the music sphere application does not work with the deck unless you have a Windows computer, otherwise the application will not work. The App radio app will also not work unless you have a iPhone, but I have heard from several audio shop friends that Pioneer is in the works with making these apps Android friendly.
-Overall, it's a great deck and I would recommend it. Go out and buy it. It does it all, and you can match the button colors to the car.

This was worth every penny that I spent on it. It makes your car look classy and has a lot of features that you wont get in any other navigation system. I plan to buy another for my other car also.

found this helpful.Powerful product
I have been reading and waiting for a long time to get a good overall product. I used to have a Pioneer Premier DEH-940MP HU with a 13band EQ and 6V preout which I liked very much.
- This unit provides 7band EQ which is less than what I used to have but more than any other similar product, plus a 4V preout vs 2V for most of the navigation units. The only EQ I truly miss is the 12Khz one since the Z130BT stops at 10KHz. The High Pass Filter option covers all speakers; no HPFF and HPFR. Sound settings also provides interesting options for the subwoofer control, more than I expected, loudness control and other interesting options to help calibrate and set the unit like you want.
- There is a lot more options to configure and control the unit like you want from Bluetooth phone, to iPhone, Pandora (only works for USA). GPS unit is good, but I miss my Garmin. We'll see next upgrade if they revamp it a bit but it's not a show stopper. Unit still works in tunnels or where GPS can't see the sats if you plug the VSS wire.
- Bypass mod available on youtube. Works well, but never use Movie player while driving. Stay safe. Microphone is excellent for phone or voice command; just make sure you don't cover the side if you do an "integrated" and discreet installation in your dash.
In all, this unit is very powerful, I am pretty sure there still plenty of power to be used giving more functionality over future software upgrade.
There are 2 things I don't like with this unit:
- Scrolling pages either when browsing MP3 on your favorite media or when using XM Radio, scrolling through chanels.
- They need to make file browsing easier and safer. Adding a scrollbar on the side would be a start.
About Sonic:
As I am a Canadian customer, I am very pleased with their excellent service and fast shipping. I had the unit in less than 4 days, considering my unit had to go through customs. Hats off to you guys, I'll be looking to do business with you again for sure.

found this helpful.Pretty nice head unit
I got this installed on my Nissan 370Z and I must say that this head unit is one of best out there. It may be pricey but the features are ridiculous on this thing. I've had it for about 2 weeks and I still have fun with it. I like that I can keep an SD card in there and not worry about having bad music on the radio. Which brings me to another point, it has HD radio, you get radio stations "regular" people don't have. I hooked it up to Alpine type-R speakers and a JL sub, sounds incredible. You want nice? Get this head unit.

found this helpful.Great Unit
This unit has tons of great features every option you will ever need and it doens't take forever to load. Everything is really responsive. Only con is the GPS which can be confusing to use at first but once you get used to it, its not really a problem. 7" Screen and really clean looks good in any car not too flashy more classy.

This is a great unit, i have had Alpine, Kenwood, Sony, Eclipce and other head units. And this Pioneer is just as good if not better. I like the ipod hook up it lets me control my ipod very easy and it is fast to load up my muzic and u can get good sound out of it with the amp crossover that is built in, over all its a very good head unit.

found this helpful.Great
Everything on this unit works great minus the voice recognition. It is worth the money but if you get it don't get the scosche harness go somewhere else and buy a metra or a PAC because those will give the reverse and parking brake signals and the scosche won't. Also don't connect the mute wire because you may have some problems with it muting itself. I have hoked up to a 2011 Silverado with onstar and it still works without the mute wire hooked up.

I have been through almost all the car indash players including all the top brands such as alpine and kenwood. I must say this is one of the best indash i have ever used. Pioneer really stand up for their name for this unit. Everything works perfect. No issues at all. Has so much features and its so easy to setup and use including the navigation. No cons to complain about.

found this helpful.Great Overall Unit with a few Small Issues.
The biggest problem is the lack of bluetooth kicking in consistently. If bluetooth doesn't automatically connect to your phone, you need to go in to the bluetooth settings, click on your phone, then select a button that tells it to reconnect. If they had a shortcut on the main screen to toggle your primary phone this wouldn't be a problem, but this is a major headache when you're driving. The only other negative I can think of is that the display doesn't handle well in sunlight for movies. With that said, I've only tried to watch movies with it once or twice.
Now to the positives. The Navigation is surprisingly good. It may not be Garmin, but it's better than every other GPS that I've seen. Most of the button placement was done well, and the bluetooth sounds great both for phone calls, and for streaming audio. The movie/music formats that it can handle are expansive.
The bluetooth issues is a big headache, but everything else about it is great so I would highly recommend.
