The problem with Kenwood is the mic comes with the HU is very very sucky, you might want to plug-in a better quality one when installing it.

About android, only phone call and streaming music, but sometimes the bluetooth will crash if a phone call interupt the music stream. :ugh2:

Anyway, you mention about compatibility with android OS.... I kind of give up hope on that since all the manufactures are only focusing they software develop towards iOS, which is extremely sucks!!!

Unless android OS can really take over the popularity of iOS in the coming couple years, I can't really see we will have HU compatible with android, which is very sad.... :ugh2:

yah, im going to definitely keep my eyes open on the pioneers. :tup:

The only difference between the 110 and 120 hardware-wise is the 120 added an HD radio tuner. Otherwise the software gives you all the features of the 130 (of course, its still limited Android compatibility).

so after finding out i cant really do much with my droid, im thinking of maybe getting an avic. which model would you recommend if i go this route? :)

Curious...what kind of hoops does one need to go through to get those HUs to work with our steering wheel controls?

Hey guys, whatup??? Havent been around lately. Busy with work and woman probs....ugh. Went over my buddies house today and re-assembled my exhaust to eliminate the rattle I had since installing my rear sway. Also had a vibration coming on at about 80mph. Knew something had to be lose cause I had all my tires balanced earlier in the week. Turns out the endlink bolt that holds the bottom of the strut on had come COMPLETELY loose on both sides in the front. The passenger side was damn near bout to fall off!! Now we didnt torque to spec when re assembling all that stuff but def cranked it down super hard. Very suprised to see it that loose. Applied some threadlock and cranked them back down. Also stiffened up my Konis and set the rear sway to stiff. Feels great. Today I also tested out my new GoPro and external mic setup and all I can say is WOW!!! The external mic sounds beyond amazing. Far better than I expected!!! If I find the time Im gonna try to shoot a nice vid tomorrow and show you guys how great this setup is:tup: I will most certainly have awesome footage when I get back from ZDAYZ. Just one work week separates me from ripping twisties with hundereds of Z owners in the Great Smoky Mtns:excited:

Cool. I'm running soft front, medium rear. My car is fairly close to neutral handling, I have slight oversteer. The slight oversteer could be attributed to my almost bald stock tires though.

I feel ya dude, that's exactly what happened to me on Wed, except I've only done a quick wash.... and I don't have a wife to compare.... :roflpuke2::ugh2:

ZForce 05-06-2012 02:29 AM

:hello: Z fam

Tracie, exhuast sounds great :tup:

Alchemy, ghood day to you sir and glad you got the Z fixed. Grats on the mic, did you find an adaptor yet ? Also did not hear or missed it, but where are you taking your vacation to...? :tiphat:

pL4tiNumfi5t, good choice on RE-11's. Mucho sticky, but do not expect much tire life. I have ran down the sticky compound and now on hard compound to extend the wear. Rip-em while you can. :tup:

Evening Mr.kenchan, alcheng :hello:

Up way past bedtime...

Z action today, washed the PG and took Red to dinner in Folsom for some Sushi and hooked up with a friend and wife that I not seen for 12 years, back in the old days at Intel.

Good morning Z family :tup: good morning OFC :tup: good morning Mr.alcheng :tup:




No Z action for me today :shakes head: instead I'll be spending 8 hours driving (round trip) to see my parents. This really chaps my hide because they used to live literally around the corner from me, now they're 4 hours away :facepalm:


Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Give your Z a little bit of extra love today for me. :tup:

Hey Mr. ZForce. Not sure but what you mean about finding an adapter. Do you mean for mounting it to the car??? If so what I am doing is using the mount from that XGrip handle that I also purchased. Its hard to explain but basically I took the hotshoe mount off of it and stuck the screw down through the hole that is under the non functional rear fog. The plastic clip that used to be there got lost somewhere along the way. Then I just thread the mic on. I know my explaination is confusing so Im gonna go outside in a min and take a pic for ya. Oh and my vacation will be taking place in NC/TN at ZDAYZ!!!!


Good morning everyone:hello:

Alchemy 05-06-2012 07:50 AM

Here ya go Mr. ZForce hope this clarifies things a bit. If this is even what you were talking about when you asked about an adapter:icon17:
