Wonder is they will offer the features that spartan was not able to. Like 6.0 tuning, FICM tuning, Auto power on.

I'm more courios if it actually does Buzz test, KOEO, KOER, CCT, and GP test. Sure would be nice if DP-tuner posted a YouTube video of these features in action.

Neet,
But you know what I would really like?
I have this indash head unit.

Lint to
Amazon Amazon

It's a Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT and you can use it to operate you smart phone.
It would be cool to have an app that lets you plug it into some little box and
show all the info you can get on the smart phone apps on the head unit screen and
let you work with it from the head unit screen. The unit has a USB control line
with a A/V input line. I see not reason that come smart computer programing
person could not make this happen.

They have a pic of those tests. This is what the Phalanx was going to have before spartan stooped updating it.


Anyone want a Phalanx for $400 ??

You can do it with DashBoss, any radio monitor that has RCA or VGA input. DashBoss is in the works with Pioneer for the Pioneer Radio App unit for even more features.

Pics and a breif discription are hard to believe, having a video of a 6.0 running and performing these test would be more convincing. Not saying that it can't do the test, but video would be solid proof.

I want to go one more step and be able to control the app from the head unit.
I really lost faith in Pioneer after I got the Avic Z130/bt. New unit and it comes
with 3 year old map data and they want you to pay $200 for the stupid update.
On a NEW unit. I'll get rid of this one and find something else.

Is that the firmware or the map data? I have to say I was un-impressed
with the people at the support desk for Pioneer. The people I talked to
rate high on my twit list.
I will have a look at AVIC411.com

Thanks
