iOS5 not working with Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT

[Vermifuge]

I just thought I would post a little note for those of you with some Pioneer app radios such as the AVIC-Z130BT. iOS5 will break the way the app radio works and you will loose the ability to play Pandora & Podcasts through Aha Radio.

Supposedly they are aware of the problem and are working on an update. If you go to Pioneer's web page this information sort of buried a few pages deep.

The following models are affected: AVIC-Z130BT, AVIC-Z120BT*, AVIC-Z110BT**, AVIC-X930BT, AVIC-X920BT*.

Kinda of confusing. I don't understand if they are saying that the Z's with the CNSD-210FM upgrade have the issue also.

I can't play my music from my playlist or get pandora to work. I tried connecting to my wife's Infiniti stereo and no luck there either. Hope they fix this quick.

The "good" news is you can play bluetooth audio through the head unit and pandora sounds great... but for a flagship head unit loosing its primary fictionality is a bit of a letdown...

Also If you have an iPod classic or one of the older minis it works just fine. I have a classic 80GB I use for music and videos when my phone isn't connected. no problems with that.

Dear Pioneer Customers,

Pandora version 3.1.15 was released November 4, 2011. This update resolves the iOS5 audio playback issues described in our October 14 post. We are still working with Aha™ Radio to determine a solution.

Thank you!
