Those are all valid complaints.
The ipod interface works like all Pioneer interfaces, slow. Unlike the library, if you don't hit the selection and hit the first song, it stays with what you are listening to and goes back to that screen. Then you have to go through the enitre thing again. I have talked to our product specialist several times when he has been in my store regarding this and their ipod interface.
The XM interface does have more displayed info, but in Sirius mode if you hit the display button it shows station name/artist/title. I can live without the cowboy hat picture on country stations, or the guitar on rock. I have both XM and Sirius on mine so I went out and comapred them.
The lack of a mute definately sucks.
The nav will calibrate and is very acurate. It would be nice to have waterways and railroads marked, not sure if it is in the mapping database they use. Would be worth bringing up to the product specialists. They actually do listen to dealer feedback.
I agree, there are things I don't like about the Z1. However, for me the good outweighs the bad. Playlists on the Ipod and bluetooth interface for the mute work for me. Now that the bluetooth units are finally available.
It is an expensive piece, but if you compare all the features to other products out there, the Z1 is not over priced. Take an Alpine IVA-W200 add an NVE-872A nav system and you're crowding 3k, with an outboard DVD driven navigation.
Just my .02$

Say, have you heard anything about Pioneer updating their iPod interface soon? I keep running across rumor posts on the net.
Also, I wonder if it's possible to wire the FJ's AUX for the iPod into one of the Z1's external inputs? Thoughts? That would solve my iPod problem.
