External Microphone: During your wireless phone call, you can talk into the head unit's included microphone, and listen to the other party through the vehicle's speaker system. The external microphone provides better performance in noisy environments than an integrated microphone found on the front-panel of many other in-dash head units. The microphone features a 13' cord that plugs into the back of the radio, and comes with an adjustable visor-mount clip.

Note: This unit is not equipped with an integrated front-panel mic.

Echo Canceling with Noise Reduction: This function reduces echo and noise when using the multimedia-navigation's Bluetooth hands-free communication feature.

Bluetooth Audio Players: In addition to supporting Bluetooth's Hands-Free Profile (HFP), the head unit also supports Bluetooth's wireless Audio Streaming Profile (A2DP) and Bluetooth's Audio Control Profile (AVRCP). These features allow you to wirelessly transmit music from your Bluetooth compatible cell-phone or portable audio player to the AVIC-Z130BT so you can listen to your stored music files through your vehicle's audio system.

AV Connections

Dual AV Inputs: The AVIC-Z130BT features two rear-panel AV inputs (composite/3.5mm). There is a rear-panel A/V input (composite video/stereo RCA audio) for connecting a video component such as a VCR or game console. The AVIC-Z130BT also has rear-panel AV 3.5mm minijack input for connecting a portable audio/video device. The AV 3.5mm input is provided by the included proprietary USB/minijack cable.

AV Output (with Dual Zone): The AVIC-Z130BT features a rear-panel composite video/stereo RCA audio output that allows you to connect an external display to the unit. You can playback audio/video content from a DVD/CD disc, the AV 1 inputs, or the same source as the built-in monitor. You can select the unit to output a 16:9, Letter-Box or Pan-Scan aspect ratio to match your external display's screen size.

Note: You cannot play DivX files on the unit's monitor and a connected external monitor at the same time.

Rear View Camera: The AVIC-Z130BT is equipped with a composite video Rear View Camera input. The head unit features a function that automatically switches to the rear camera image (Rear View Camera In jack) when an optional rear camera (130NDBC4, sold separately) is installed on your vehicle. When your vehicle's shift lever is in the reverse position, the screen automatically switches to the rear view camera (the purple/white wire in the wiring harness must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit for automatic video switching).

Voice/Remote Control

Voice Recognition: The Pioneer navigation system uses voice recognition technology, allowing you to use voice commands to operate many of its functions. The Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT offers specific voice commands for Navigation (address/POI search), iPod/iPhone (Search by Artist/Album/Genre/Playlist), Bluetooth Phone (call contact from Phonebook) and AV sources (switch AV sources). Voice commands our recognized by the unit through its external microphone.

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The multimedia-navigation in-dash head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit to allow you to keep your vehicle's radio steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional PAC SWI-PS Steering Wheel Control Interface Adapter (127SWIPS, sold separately); or the optional Metra ASWC Steering Wheel Control Interface Adapter (120ASWC, sold separately).

Note: Please consult the Crutchfield Car Selector to see if your vehicle is compatible.
