CT colonography is a radiology test that looks at your large intestines, also called your colon. It is one of many options for colon cancer screenings.
This test is used to look for polyps or cancers of the colon.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
CT colonography is safe. It can be used if you are too sick to have other forms of colon cancer screening.
In some cases, a contrast material is used. One complication may be an allergic reaction to the contrast.
You will be positioned on your back on a movable x-ray table. Just before the test, a small tube will be inserted into your rectum. Air will be gently pumped through this tube. The table will move slowly though the donut-shaped CT scanner. While this is happening, you will need to lie very still. You will be asked to hold your breath during the scan. The scanning test will then be repeated with you lying on your stomach.
You will be able to leave after the test is done. You can resume your normal diet and activities.
30-40 minutes
You may feel cramping and bloating. You may feel the urge to have a bowel movement.
An expert will review the images. If something abnormal is seen, your doctor may suggest a colonoscopy .
If you were given contrast, call your doctor if you notice:

AMG shows Gullwing SLS E-Cell (UPDATED: NEW PICS)
Article Summary
The Audi e-tron has been at the top of our list of awesome electric car concepts for some time. Now there's a new contender – the SLS AMG E-CELL. Mercedes-AMG hinted at the possibility of an electric drive SLS gullwing last year and has now rolled-out a prototype which looks set for small series production. Along with a very hard to miss fluorescent "AMG lumilectric magno" paint job, the prototype features four electric motors positioned near each of the wheels which produce 392 kW and 880 Nm of instantaneous torque and acceleration of zero to 100 km/h in 4 seconds – just 0.2 seconds under the performance of the 6.3-litre V8 SLS AMG.

After finally linping around trying to get to the local Wal-Mart to get a tire, that they wouldn't mount cause it was after 6:00 and there tire service closes at 6:00. I got some tools out of the van and mounted the tire myself. Only took me an hour to break it down and mount the new one. There was a WaWa across the street and was able to air it up and continue on my way. I'll tell you this much, I'm getting to old to be doing that crap. I was beat by the time I got to the motel.

In a word, Yup.
So Maniacs, are you ready to get back on the Grid?
fuck yes i know i am. will it pick up how it ended? now that they can cross over from the grid to the real world this is going to be interesting, i can see some of the grid tech. spreading like a virus in the real world taking over in a cool high tech battle vr the real world.
Even in Tron, Jeff Bridges was still rockin' The Dude...kept waiting for him to say, "Man, that rug really tied The Grid together, man!" I actually never saw the original, but was reasonably entertained by Legacy...I'd go see another one.
The Tron movie could be salvaged from the bad taste Tron Legacy left. They need to go back to the 1st movie though..more Tron and less dumb-down Tron style action movie. Perhapts in an effort to save Tron, Flynn gets him to the "old-system" and maybe the only way to "reboot" the original "Tron" programming inside Tron fully restoring his memories would be to have him communicate to "Allen1" via one of the old I/O Towers...maybe.
Don't get me wrong, I like the 2nd movie but again just as a stand-alone Tron-Style action flick, just didn't have the same "feel" as the 1st. The 1st one felt like it could be going on inside a computer system (hit all the right marks as far as the characters feeling like programs and terminology), Tron Legacy (AND the cartoon now) just felt like people in skin-tight neon lined swim suits.
Holding my breath for descent Tron movie, hope this one is it.
Absolutely! Legacy wasn't as good as the original, but anything with Ms. Olivia Wilde in it is OK by me just to see her!
I hope they do it more in line with the original and not rely so heavily on sets, and get back to using more CGI. TRON is definitely a film franchise that needs CGI.
Tell the truth they need to focus on games, they intro'd flying which would have been a great game to see. Tron was about the games and they needed to expand on that, forget the take over the world crap. I would like to see OCP 2.0 also. They had the updated looks down for dudes and the hot chicks. They really could have had something for this last movie, hope they learn.
Legacy wasn't great, but it was good. Hopefully with version 3.0 they fix some of the weaknesses of Legacy and make a Tron movie that is everything that it can be. More Olivia Wilde is good also.
Anyone watching Tron: Uprising? Is it worth a look?
I didn't realize the sequel was off to begin with
Okay I agree with most of you, didn't love Legacy but enjoyed it enough to see a sequel. I need to make time to catch the original that for some unfathomable reason I've yet to see.
@wiseguy I didn't think it was off either but I believe they've been on the fence about weather or not to pull the trigger on a sequel.

Bond sale helps home buyers, rentersProvided photo
The Vermont Housing Finance Agency has completed a $26 million bond sale that helps refinance loans on affordable apartment units around the state, including the 15-unit Benson Heights apartment complex in Benson. The agency also completed a $50 million bond sale that will finance the purchase of 250-350 Vermont homes.Affordable housing in the state received a boost this month with a bond sale that will help finance the purchase of up to 350 single-family homes.
The Vermont Housing Finance Agency closed on a $50 million bond sale that replenishes the agencys loan funds. The money will provide 30-year mortgages at 3 percent interest on a government-backed mortgage and 3.25 percent on a conventional mortgage.
The bond sale will fund 250 to 350 home purchases.
A separate $26 million multifamily bond sale restructures certain existing VHFA loans that affect 907 apartments around the state.
VHFA Executive Director Sarah Carpenter said the agency took advantage of a program available only to state housing finance agencies. Under the program, the U.S. Treasury buys the mortgage securities backed by the housing bonds.
Carpenter said the VHFA was faced with an end of the year deadline to replenish its funding before the program expired.
The program ends Dec. 31 so essentially we both needed to bond and wanted to bond before the end of the year to take advantage of the low rates we could get through that program, she said.
The bond sale covering apartment complexes required restructuring loans with each project partner, Carpenter said.
Lower refinancing rates were aided by the State of Vermont Moral Obligation credit enhancement that allowed for long-term, fixed-rate financing. She said it also allows some apartment projects to use the savings for improvements.
Erhard Mahnke of the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition said that as the economy gains strength and consumer confidence increases, the bond sale provides more home-buying opportunities.
The single-family bond obviously provides a really attractive rate and attractive terms for first-term home buyers, said Mahnke, the coalitions executive director.
Although Vermont has one of the highest home-ownership rates in the country, Mahnke said the state still has a deficit in terms of meeting the demand for home ownership.
The housing deficit is especially acute when it comes to affordable apartments, he said, so the multifamily bond sale takes on added significance.
What this does largely is preserve the affordability of some existing for-profit-owned properties, maybe reaching the end of their mortgage term and so (the owners) might have even been looking to do something else with the property, Mahnke said.
In addition, he said proceeds from the bond will help finance several transfers of ownership from for-profit owners of affordable housing to nonprofit owners.
One transaction involves the transfer of Benson Heights, a 15-unit senior Section 8 development in Benson, from the United Church of Benson to the Housing Trust of Rutland County. The financing also provides for rehabilitation and other capital improvements.
According to the 2010 Vermont Housing Needs Assessment report, the state will need to build approximately 8,000 homes between 2009 and 2014 to meet demand.
When it comes to apartments, the report said Vermont will require an additional 5,000 rental units by 2014.
Based on an average monthly rent of $1,000 a month for a two-bedroom apartment in the state, Mahnke said, a worker needs to earn $19 an hour to afford it.
This year the VHFA has financed 401 home purchases.
Since its inception, the agency has provided financing for 27,000 homebuyers with low-interest mortgages, and financed the development of approximately 8,400 affordable rental units.

Original Price: $699.99 Shop all In-dash GPS Navigation Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Ken Nail Flagship performance Pioneer's AVIC-Z140BH — their flagship navigation receiver for 2012 — puts it all together — outstanding navigation capabilities, serious app compatibility with many mobile devices, and comprehensive A/V capabilities. And you'll control all of this from a sharp 7" touchscreen that'll really make a statement in your dash. Wide-ranging navigation and traffic capabilities The AVIC-Z140BH guides you with detailed Tele Atlas® maps of Canada, Puerto Rico, and the entire U.S.A. — maps that feature over 12 million points of interest to guide you to the services you want when you're on the road. And the included TMC traffic tuner offers quick access to fast, free traffic information in over 90 major metropolitan areas — info that helps you avoid tie-ups well before you get caught in a jam. Pioneer's Lane Guidance feature helps eliminate the pain of getting caught in the wrong lane at a busy interchange by directing you to the correct lane for upcoming turns. And Pioneer's AVIC FEEDS add a whole new level of fun and functionality, giving you the ability to transfer destinations from Google Maps, download points-of-interest from the Internet, and more. App compatibility with your phone This versatile Pioneer offers a high degree of compatibility with apps and mobile devices. With the free Aha Radio app, you can use your iPhone® or Android to tap into a wide variety of personalized, on-demand content while you're behind the wheel. Aha Radio provides audio streams of information like status updates and Tweets, so you can catch social media updates from Facebook and Twitter while you drive. Best of all, you never have to take your eyes off the road to check out your iPhone's screen. Aha Radio's features extend beyond updates, and lets you search reviews of restaurants and coffee shops listed on Yelp with Aha Radio's "Hungry" and "Coffee" stations. Aha Radio also filters, sorts, and prioritizes the content you get based on your location, so you can even tap into traffic info for first-hand reports of road conditions in your vicinity. And Aha Radio has news updates, podcasts, and even comedy — so there's always something to listen to. Pandora® Internet radio control You can connect your iPhone with Pioneer's CD-IU51V cable, or pair your Android through Bluetooth and enjoy control of your Pandora® stations from the receiver's touchscreen, including "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" song ratings. And you'll see album art, plus song and artist info on the big screen as well. Advanced App Mode Once you plug in your iPhone with Pioneer's iPod cable, you'll also be able to watch YouTube, Netflix, and other online video content when you're parked, or send it to backseat monitors while you're driving. Thanks to dual-zone A/V control, you can even listen to music from another source while the crew in the back enjoys video. Pioneer's innovative AppRadioLIVE streamlines your app info and functions into one easy-to-use interface. You'll enjoy quick access to your music, media, calendar, and other sources you subscribe to, just by downloading the AppRadioLIVE app and syncing your services. AppRadioLIVE works with your apps to provide visual map guidance and access to points of interest, as well as the ability to search for concerts, shows, and other local events of interest. And you can show several sources of information simultaneously, quickly shifting from one to another with a touch of your finger. Hands-free phoning with voice control The AVIC-Z140BH's built-in Bluetooth lets you make hands-free calls easily with your compatible phone, and keep your attention on the road. The built-in Bluetooth also supports audio music streaming (A2DP) so you can stream music wirelessly from compatible mobile devices to the receiver. Plenty of audio/video options You'll have plenty to listen to when you take a trip. This receiver plays music from CDs, plus CDs and DVDs loaded with music files. And listening to your iPod® or iPhone is as easy as plugging in to the rear USB port — you'll take control of your music from the receiver's touchscreen. If you need more audio options, check out the SD card slot and the rear A/V inputs. Again, you can play video content from DVDs on the main screen when you're parked, or send the video output to rear-seat screens when you're traveling. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check Hands-on Research for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Navigation receivers cover all the bases, with GPS guidance, DVD playback, and a host of other useful features. You can search through millions of points of interest to locate gas stations, restaurants, museums, and other interesting spots, wherever you are. Most receivers offer Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling, along with the ability to search through your iPod playlists with touchscreen controls.
Horrible maps and interface Written By z4me, San Diego on Sunday, February 02, 2014 The map data on this unit is horrible. Good luck going through a rural area using the navigation. It will most likely tell you that it cannot provide guidance in those areas. After taking an interchange, it sometimes looses track of your next maneuver, and that can go on for a couple hundred miles. You cannot switch between presets with the steering wheel. For some reason, it defaults to my iPod Touch for hands free bluetooth operation if my phone is not present when I start my car (which is really annoying cause I have a remote starter). I just found out the worst part, which is that it will cost big bucks to update the map. Its think it is time for me to get rid of this thing and get something else. Pros: I have never noticed any glare. Cons: Not worth the price that I paid to get it.
gps Written By Bella, Ohio on Monday, October 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Recvd in good time; installed and working great;..would like a hard copy of the manual though but could not find one.
Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH Written By Michael Sonstein, Ocenaside, CA on Tuesday, October 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have installed this unit in a 2006 Mustang convertible. The non-glare screen is great in the bright light conditions of a convertible. I had purchased a Jensen VM9725BT that has a reflective screen. Could not see the screen if the sun was out. Crutchfield was great in allowing me to return the Jensen for the Pioneer unit. The unit was easy to install with the instructions from Crutchfield. ALso installed a back up camera that works well with the unit. Sound of HD radio is good. Pioneer apps function are not easily set up. Pros: Large bright non glare screen Cons: The tuner does not show frequencies on the set screen. It also does not show the stations name or frequency on the tuning screen. The Jensen showed both. Not full text to speech on navigation. Give interstate routing numbers but not street names when making a turn.
Amazing unit Written By Charley, Waltham, ma on Sunday, August 11, 2013 I own this and the kenwood dnx9980hd... Both flagship units for 2012... This unit performs 10x better and processes twice as fast as the kenwood unit...the people that say this unit is hard to use haven't used the kenwood. You can't expect all the optionsthatthis unit has and it not taking a little time to figure out how to use it... Pros: Every option for 2012 Fast processor Easy to use Cons: Non
Pioneer AVIC GPS receiver Written By Eric, Dublin, OH on Friday, August 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I upgraded my truck stereo to this GPS Tuner. I have the 7 speaker Bose system. I also have integrated my steering wheel controls. Upsides: BIg screen, backup camera are great. Pros: Big bright screen and integrated backup camera. Hands free telephone is the best I've used (my microphone is on the visor). Traffic feed to GPS works well. Cons: The Bluetooth connectivity isn't as seemless as my 2012 VW factory stereo but it does work. The GPS (Garmin based) got me lost last week and isn't nearly as nice as my Android smartphone. I wish it was easier to go from one preset to another with my steering wheel controls.
Good gps radio Written By Anonymous, Carrollton, GA on Monday, July 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good radio with realitively easy install especially using posi connectors. Minor problem with blue tooth set up, but all other functions work great. Crutchfield tech support was very helpful on the blue tooth issue. I recommend this product highly but really recommend Crutchfield.
Not disappointed Written By Napalmer, Suffolk, VA on Friday, July 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works as advertised so I really have no complaints. Think it will be perfect for my upcoming trip. Pros: Crystal clear HD radio and DVD playback. Cons: Screen could be a little more user friendly...last unit had scroll capability like an iPad.
Slow. Feels behind the times for the money. Written By Jake, Royal Oak, MI on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 This unit is behind the times. I recommend get a Pioneer DEH-80PRS 1 DIN (which is AWESOME) and just put in a blank for the remaining dash space. The maps are terrible. Use your phone instead. Voice command doesn't work. BT audio nobody can understand me. Boot time is slow. BT connection time is slow. User interface for establishing and managing a BT connection is super confusing. There should be more explanation of what is going on. Only has one USB. Doesn't support bi-amplification / 3 way crossovers. EQ band count number is low. If you get the DEH-80PRS you get a much better EQ, 2 USBs, faster boot times, cleaner operation, cleaner sound, better DAC, on face analog connection, and you save a LOT of money. Again, just use your phone for navigation. I'd much rather have good quality fast smooth (iPad like or Google like) navigation in a 2DIN unit, but I have yet to find one that actually runs smooth and works good. Until such time, these 2DIN Navis aren't that great in my opinion (and this was the best one I could find in Fall of 2012). Pros: It looks kinda cool...until you start to use it. Allows for very dim screen which is super nice for in your face installs and night time driving (other 2DINS I tried are WAAAY to bright at night even at the dimmest setting). Cons: As noted in the review.
A travelers delight. Written By Sean, Fruita, CO on Monday, July 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is a true delight. I hooked it to two headrest monitors and am able to show DVD movies as well as any from my iPod as well. The kids love it and it make the road trips go by faster and with less stops. I love the hands free calling features. If there is a draw back it is the large number of connectors and wiring that stick out the back off the unit. It's a lot to stuff out of the way and keep out of the way. Pros: Shows DVD and iPod movies and music videos. Great hands free features, great screen. Cons: Lots of wiring that has to tied up out of the way.
Pioneer did againg with this great dash unit Written By PatS, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is excellent, it's exacly what I wanted in and double din unit. I just wish it had an detachable face, for all the crooks in this crazy world we live in these days. Pros: Great sound, excellent display, easy to set and install Cons: No detachable face plate.
Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH Written By Louis, Houston, TX on Thursday, April 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product. Now I can play my music from my I-phone 5 using the controls of this unit
Very happy with this unit Written By Anonymous, Wakefield ri on Saturday, February 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Does everything and more I need it to do very happy would recommend it to anyone Cons: The external micro phone for the radio for taking calls could be better
Way more Negatives than Positives!!! Written By Anonymous, Austin, TX on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 Bought my Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH b/c of good reviews read here and other sites but they are W-A-Y off. Here is what I WISHED I had known BEFORE I bought it, spent $$$ for install, parts, time, planning and energy. Hopefully this helps somebody!!!! -Buttons on screen are either too small or too large (turner SEEK). -Tuner set buttons do not label the stations at all. And don't try to set them b/c any misguided tap of screen (when hitting a bump in the road) erases everything. -Tuner is HD but you have to decide to either show the station, song name or artist b/c there is only 1 line you can adjust, yet there is still 2/3 available black screen that could have been used. -12million POI's are broken into one hundred groups and subgroups but you can view only 10 on the screen at a time. There are 3 dozen restaurant sub-groups alone. -On my 2006 factory Honda Pilot navigation, when I want to see a POI, I touch it anywhere on the screen and a window gives me the data. On this, you must navigate the POI by touching the screen and move the entire map into a very small red cursor box located in the center of the screen to bring up the info. Very hard to do while driving!!!!! -Half the addresses I tried to look up are not found. There are more small things that I was displeased about and unfortunately all these small things make 1 large disappointment. If this was priced at $300-$500 I would give it 3 stars, maybe, but to be so expensive and such a fail! Pros: 2D/3D Navigation landmarks. Real-time traffic, good video quality Cons: Tuner interface, limited POI, can only costume splash screen
Not pleased Written By Den, Houston, tx on Saturday, January 12, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Went to get a Kenwood DNX7190 but my local auto stereo guy was out and suggested Pioneer Z140. Oh hey, Pioneer has been good in the past so I had it installed, big mistake. 1st the sound is terrible. I can hear the music and very little voice, I have adjusted the EQ almost every way possible. It you turn up the volume it's not too bad but if you want to talk to someone setting next to you you are not going to hear much singing. The BIGGEST problem is the Navigation, I live in Houston and I input something like Walmart and I get two or three pages of Walmarts all of them in Houston. It gives you mileage, no direction, the first three are 4.8 miles away, the next two are 5.1 miles. I don't know if I'm suppose to go back, forward, left or right. I choose one and it may be in the wrong direction, who knows until you select it, push the back screen and you have to retype Walmart again, absolutely no address. I'm setting right in front of a Mexican restaurant so I look up POI to see what it has to say. After 3 screens and paging down to Mexican food, what do ya think? Not listed. I went to Pioneer's web site and told them the problem because maybe i had it setup wrong, nope they wrote back and said it doent do addresses. I called my stereo guy and believe me he got an ear full, all he could tell me was wait until Feb. 2013 the new Kenwood's are going to be great. Well I can wait, I just hope he doesn't wait on me to come back. Pros: None, the cons out weigh anything good to say Cons: All of the above. I took a four day trip and had to use my phone to find addresses and accommodations because navigation had me going in circles.
using the Avic 140BH is an auto accident waiting to happen Written By Gerrym, Ridgefield, CT on Saturday, December 22, 2012 I bought this radio for my car after doing much research on the best car receivers available. It was highly recommended. HOWEVER, the user interface is simply horrible, not designed to be used by a driver in a moving vehicle. One of the most important features I was looking for was voice activated hands free phone calling as I spend a lot of time in my car. The voice activation simply just does not work. It cannot recognize any of my contacts, even with the car off, parked, the windows up and engine off. I called Pioneer and they were very helpful but said that I had to speak more clearly. I had 4 other people try to use it and we ended up hysterical laughing at the names it selected. Not even close. The user interface is dangerous to use while driving. Lots and Lots of small icon buttons that are easy to miss when you are driving unless you take your eyes off the road for way too much time. When using the radio you can preselect your preferred channels but the interface does not show you the names of the channels, It simply lists the channels as channel 1, 2,3, etc. so you have to know which channel you want by the radio's assigned number. The GPS will get you there, but forget trying to figure out the features that are unique to Pioneer. The technical people at Crutchfield were very helpful and offered to let me return the unit for a full refund but I opted to keep it because it was over $200 to install and another $200 to reinstall my old radio. 2 bad! Pros: the unit does sound nice with stock speakers Cons: The user interface is dangerous to use in a moving vehicle. Please take the time to watch the Youtube video by an independent person who evaluated the unit in great detail. I wish I had found this in advance of buying it. Then you can decide if the unit is right for you.
Great Written By neilio1218, California on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product, Very happy. Cons: I.O.S. 6 is not compatible.
I love Pioneer but this is a joke!! Written By Christopher, Fayetteville, AR. on Monday, December 03, 2012 I have owned many of the later pioneer DVD players over the last five years. I love them all. That being said I hate this unit with a passion. This is the biggest user interface failure I have ever experience. I can't say enough about this loser of a deck. Why do I have to press three times to get the screen to go black? I love Pioneer and I will continue to use their products but do not buy the 2012 version of this garbage. Pros: Sounds good and has a simple graphic equalizer. Cons: Everything else
Returned and bought Kenwood 7190 Written By So bad I had to get rid of it!!!, Woodbridge, CT on Thursday, November 22, 2012 I absolutely hate this radio and returned it for a Kenwood DNX 7190 after 6 months of trying to get it to work. The controls are difficult to use while driving, the voice recognition with the windows rolled up is terrible. When you search for restaurants while on the highway you need to select them by individual catagorysuch as American, Fast Food, Italian etc and when they come, it gives you all of the restaurants in that catagory, including the ones behind you. My inexpensive Gamin Nuvi is much more user friendly than this radio. The only thing good I can say is that it does sound very good with the stock speakers in my 2011 4Runner. Another big issue is the size of the user manual, Its ridiculous that the manual is 3 inches thick printed out on 81/2 x 11" paper. Any electronic device that is used in your car, just should not be that complicated to use. The Kenwood manual is 64 pages and thats it! Pros: Sounds good! Cons: Everything else, don't buy this radio.
Beyond disappointed. Absolute garbage. Written By Dale H, Eau Claire, WI on Friday, November 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not even deserving of a full star. It has OK stereo functionality but nothing that models 1/4 the cost can't handle. The User interface is clunky. I wish I had believed other reviewers claiming this was five years behind everything else before I paid to have it professionally installed; I certainly believe them now. I was so excited to get this installed as we were leaving on a road trip. Now I am looking up maps on my Android instead of my pricey head unit, which is pathetic by comparison. It is terrible at auto rerouting. It simply attempts to have you turn around every few seconds instead of actually rerouting. However, don't cancel your route or you will need to pull over on the shoulder to do anything after that. Don't be fooled by the misleading pictures above that show nice 3D mapping. That feature probably doesn't exist where you live. Driving along and need a place to eat? Be ready to put your parking brake on before you can get to that information. As a passenger in my wife's car, I have to go back to my Android phone for information like that. Getting this for voice activation? Keep on looking because it isn't half as good as my base factory model unit I was replacing. You can't control your hands free call volume through your steering wheel controls. That is a bug pioneer hasn't fixed in several models of this line. I have been a long time customer of Crutchfield and I feel duped by their reviews that sugar coat major issues. I think this will be my last purchase from them. Pros: I can't see any area in which pioneer doesn't lag way behind ever other company. Cons: Terrible voice control Terrible GPS Terrible user interface Slow boot time 18+ seconds Bug in steering wheel control (it isn't the interface, it is the Z140BH. Same problem in Z110BT, Z120BT & Z130BT. Terrible navigation system
Z140BH Written By Ron, Central NJ on Friday, October 05, 2012 Installed this in my 2012 VW Passat and couuldnt be happier. I used to have an AVIC Z2 which I loved, and was worried because Pioneer switched to some garbage mapping software after the Z2. Luckilly they switched back to some quality software for the Z140BH. After putting it through the paces for 6 months now, its PERFECT! I cant comment on the amp quality because I run the Z140 with a JL HD6004 amp. Pros: Back to great mapping software! Great speed, accuracy, and all the features you could ask for! Cons: None at this time.
My 2005 Acura Navigation/Stereo is about 5 times as good. Written By thevenin2, Salt Lake City, UT on Saturday, September 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not worth the $. I am returning it to Crutchfield. Very simple user interface, very little you can customize. For the price, I want menus, sub menus, and more sub menus, I want a MUTE button on the front, a dial pad on the phone display so I can enter stuff when I call customer services, I want a Bluetooth microphone sensitivity level adjustment option like the Kenwood (which I am trading it for), and the list goes on and on. It does sound nice. On the other hand, for over a grand wouldn't you at least include a remote like $99 receivers include? A remote is a big deal, for the passenger, or passengers in the back, or even the driver on bumpy roads or even non bumpy roads so he doesn't have to try and play bulls eye. Kenwoods flagship includes a remote. Why are onscreen buttons so small? For instance, when the phone rings, there is this little square in the middle with a red and green button to clear/answer the call, and the phone number of the caller. Why wouldn't it be the majority of the screen, with huge buttons? You are driving after all. The voice activation on this is a complete joke. My 2005 Acura RL (7years older) understands everything I say 99.5% of the time, from "dial 801-785-****", "call Mom", "navigate to 1255 Yorkshire Drive", "play disk 5", "FM preset 3", etc., etc., etc. Why during a phone call do I have to take my eyes off the road to aim for the tiny volume up/down buttons on the touchscreen? Why can't I use the volume buttons, logical! Pros: MIGHT be an upgrade from factory cheap radio, will get you the basics like streaming Pandora, back up camera, entry level Bluetooth connectivity, iPod hook up, lame navigation that is difficult to use and very entry level. Cons: Outdated 5 years ago, no remote, no mute button, not enough buttons in general on the bottom face, could fit twice as many like Kenwood did, very little control over features, and customizing. I really am disappointed in the graphical user interface that Pioneer included in this unit: it's just sad.
Great Unit Written By Ken, Anniston, AL on Monday, July 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great unit. I installed it into a 2012 Chevy Silverado as stated by Crutchfield that some units may require some modification mine did. This unit was not plug and play as they say it required modification by removing the entire back of the back area where the radio mounts to allow it to fit. The unit has lots of options and has a steep learning curve but thats not a bad point only a pointer that you will probably be riding around with the manual for a week till you get it all down. Pros: Great unit, lots of options and excellent sound. Cons: Some modification may be required to get it to fit and some of the menus require getting used too.
I love IT Written By vertex1771, San jose CA on Sunday, July 08, 2012 I love the way they let you customize it. I can change the boot up screen, some of the icons, I can add points of interest to my Nav map and much more. The unit is fast and runs smooth. This thing has so many features, and is work with 2001 Mercedes-Benz ML430 Sport Utility BOSE SYTEM Pros: Great Navigation and audio controls. Picture quality looks great
Great unit, but big interface flaws Written By Justin, NJ on Monday, June 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this unit based on my experience with past Pioneer units and had high expectations. The unit has every feature you could want and looks great on paper, but is plagues by an abysmal interface design. In the short time I've had the unit I've been super happy with it's performance and incredibly frustrated with it's operation. I'm already praying that they put out a fw update to fix some of this. Pros: Every feature you could want. Sounds great. Cons: 1) Sirius station / info display is limited to small section of screen (need to push button to switch between station/track info) 2) Presets do not display any station info. Instead they just show P CH1, P CH2 ... This is a nightmare when you have 15 presets per input 3) Preset menu / side display is not always displayed / getting it onscreen is a huge pain
pioneer avic 140bh Written By Howard B, Randolph, NJ on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 Bought the Pioneer for my 911. The unit is great, does everything you would want. I took it back after two weeks. Very diappointed in not being able to see the preset menu, either for terrestrial radio, satellite, or ipod selection. Your presets can be set, 18 of them, once you select, its displays the station selected. The problem is you can't select a station from the preset menu, 18 selections, but who can remember where you placed what station. Very annoying. Called Pioneer about issue, hard wired, not a software issue, Tech said something about HD tuner. Since I listen to radio, wander through my presets as I drive, not have visual selection is VERY BAD. Returned unit, went for the Kenwood 9990hd. Cons: Can't veiw preset selections as a group off selection menu. This was a killer for me. NEVER buy unit.
my new pioneer radio Written By jay the bug machine !, Alpine, San Diego, Ca. on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I waited about 2 weeks before writing review. this radio is really nice, very easy to use. i recently had the pioneer Avic D3 in my truck and i loved it, so i decided to replace it with another pioneer flagship system. the only thing i noticed was the sound did'nt sound as crisp as the D3 but sounds excellent. i feel very excited with it and would recommend it to anybody who can afford it . Pros: everything is excellent Cons: nothing
Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH Written By Mark H, NJ on Sunday, April 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit works great. Has a lot of nice features. I definitely like the maps much better than when I had owned the Kenwood Excelon DNX9990HD earlier before returning it to Crutchfield. If you read my review there you would see how picky I am. This unit is night and day difference. I will give another review after 2-3 months after I get more hands-on time. Pros: Great Navigation and audio controls. Picture quality looks great. Cons: Bulky HD/FM Antenna box. Exterior of unit looks like from a low end model. The Kenwood Excelon DNX9990HD looks much better visually.
Excellent Written By Armhunter, Bakersfield CA on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 This deck has everything. I love the way they let you customize it. I can change the boot up screen, some of the icons, I can add points of interest to my Nav map and much more. The unit is fast and runs smooth. This thing has so many features, i just dont have the time to write it all down. If you can afford this unit I would recommend it for sure! This unit fit in the stock mount of a 370z Nismo Pros: Speed, features, user friendly! Cons: none that I can think of.
An intelligent type-prompting system Written by Ken Nail, Staff Writer - Creative, on 6/8/2012 10:55:00 AM Some things just bug me. And one of those is working with a touch-screen keypad, like those you'll find on navigation receivers. Hunting and pecking to enter an address is a slow, somewhat painful process that inevitably seems to result in a mistyped city or street name. Pioneer's AVIC-Z140BH is a welcome change. As you start to type in a street or city name, the on-screen keyboard automatically highlights the next possible letters, graying out the ones you don't need. This speeds up the process considerably for me. I don't have to scan the entire keyboard to find the next letter. When the receiver has enough letters to provide a short list of possible city or street names, it defaults automatically to it, saving even more time. It's simple, easy to use, and saves time when you want to get on the road to your next destination.
The future-ready receiver Written by Matt Freeman, Staff Writer - Creative, on 7/31/2012 2:27:00 PM Clearly, Pioneer has an eye on the future. As more people use their smartphones, especially the iPhone®, for pretty much everything, Pioneer's begun thinking of receivers not only as sources of entertainment, but as interfaces designed to make using the iPhone in the car more fun. To see how well they're doing, I brought the AVIC-Z140BH navigation receiver into the Crutchfield Labs, hooked it up to an iPhone, and dove right in. What impressed me most was how quickly and easily I was able to bounce around. I plugged in the phone, launched Pioneer's "AppRadio" app, and in seconds I was using the receiver's 7" touchscreen to surf the Aupeo!, Livio Radio, and Rdio Internet radio services. After that, I did a couple of searches on Google Maps, checked my calendar (no pressing appointments, thankfully), and pulled up a couple of photos I'd taken earlier. Then I popped over to Pandora®, took a dip in Aha Radio, and finished by playing some stored songs. Not once in all this did I have to touch the iPhone itself. One thing I particularly liked: the receiver's app menu screen showed me the availability of updated apps. That means that whenever new apps become available, it'll be easy to find out. And that makes this receiver ready for the future indeed.
