Pioneer Nd-Bt1 Bluetooth Adapter For Pioavicz1 & Pioavicz2

 (9 customer reviews)

I waited a full year to buy this add-on for my AVIC-Z1 mainly because I didn't think it would be worth the hundred dollars. Now that they've become a little less hard to find and resellers aren't gouging people for them anymore I picked one up, and all I can say is I wish I'd have done it sooner.

Installation:

Probably the easiest install I've done in my car yet. Simply plug one end straight into the dedicated port on the back of the AVIC-z1 and use the included velcro to stash the receiver end anywhere you want.

The installation is simply a matter of plugging the unit in and finding a place to put the unit which is smaller than a deck of playing cards.

If your car isn't very quiet, I doubt that you would be able to use the unit while you are driving. Of course the AVIC-Z1 cripples the capabilities of the unit by keeping you from using most of the features (like dialing) unless the parking brake is set. You can still dial from the keypad on your phone, but if you carry a Motorola Q, this is not an easy task sitting still.

ND-BT1 is a great device but i dont know if its the signal strength or the ND-BT1, it only works 75% of the time, but when it works it works great.
